Most countries give somewhat preferential treatment to graduates of their own Universities (including most European ones). Why shouldn’t the US? Foreign graduates who earn a degree from the US have: * already contributed to the American economy * demonstrated some amount of “success” in American education and social system * likely have created social and work networks that allow them to succeed after graduation So from the perspective of choosing folks who are both 1) Skilled and 2) Will likely adapt/succeed in American society and economy, the case for favoring US University degrees seems reasonable.
