Other than "it is wrong", which, is valid...why should I be concerned about international students attending American universities?

International students have destroyed Canada stealing jobs and raising housing but I don't know if they can work in the states like they can in Canada

The way you’re asking the question makes it seem like you’re pro foreign nationals attending US universities.

I agree with the last 2 paragraphs of your post.

Not my problem and why should US tax dollars support it?
Support what? Intentional students pay damn near twice over what domestic students pay.

It's a business not a charity. :dahell:

International students with F1 visas aren’t taxed on international income sources. So they get to enjoy the things we pay taxes for like infrastructure, university funding, parks, etc. without contributing.

I wouldnt say its wrong but 200% it has an effect on country.

People come here, get an american education, and then work from their countries for american companies.

They, in turn, hire people in their home countries pennys on the dollar and in end take jobs from americans for cheap cheap cheap.

Ive worked with a LOT of companies that hire out to non americans, and they always do a shytty job or dont know what they doing and in end get paid extra for things we end up doing on salary working extra hours. Just pay us that money. But they “cant”. End up calling their boss (the american schooled one) and he just assigns another non anerican fresh here (or there if working remotely) who still dont know shyt.

They hire them because they CHEAP. And the work is cheap.

Yws the talent part i get. And i think trunp wrong on tbat. But there is a problem when the uneducated classes Get work americans could get.

Ive said it before but my entire town is now run by indians. Why sre they importing indians to work at a corner store and gas stations? Americans worked there all this time. Now its run by indians, non citizen workers. All of them. Like 7 busineses are run from one house they all work from. All owned by one guy who getting rich off international labor in AMERICA. Corner stores , gas stations, liquor stores. No more americans working there at all.

We exploit them. They exploit their own. Chicken or egg? Idk. But its gotten crazy.

I can name like 20 different people i know whos jobs were taken over by non americans. In construction its the mexicans:south americans. My cousin showed up to work and it was all mexicans and they stole shyt snd blamed it on him because he was only non Mexican on job. In engineering its the indians. In trucking its chinese and asians. Regular retail its indians asians arabs. Etc.

I dont mind people coming here to work. But working here while living there, making money because they can exploit at home or importing people for jobs with NO skills to work for them is to me, Not right.

They heavily fund universities as well. Basically you mad that they can walk-in parks and breath the same air.

Brother do you know how much these students are depended on as a business? You are here acting like they are charity cases. That's not reality. It's so far from reality. They contribute to schools and fund them as well that's the whole business angle. They pay their way.

The international students Canadians were up in arms about are not actual students they are using student visas then trying to claim refugee or permanent residence status and they go to bullshyt schools that are diploma mills for immigration scam (Indians)

The American students going to Harvard etc are not taking anything from you. They pay x3 to go to school what you pay and pay to live here. God forbid they walk in a park without paying income tax but yet they are paying sales tax and tuition and rent. :dahell:

It's soft power and innovation.

We teach American ideals, which generally tend to be popular and progressive.

Any country that isolates itself from people, trade and technology start to decline and in some cases reverse course technologically and socially. Look no further than Islam. Islamic nations used to be way more progressive and advanced than The West. I'm trying to recall which fundamentalist from the 15th century started to take Islam backwards.

If this country was WASPs and WASPs only, they would've never been the hegemon of the world.

EDIT: I call out Islam specifically because we're on a similar course with Christianity. I'm not religious, but I'm not anti-Christian. I just don't think we should use religion to set federal and state policy.
Al Ghazali. ‘The kick out foreign students’ brigade need to watch this.



What these white Christian nationalists are trying to do is to throw us in a new dark age out of ignorance, fear and hatred of others.

When international students stop coming here and start going to Europe and China or staying home is when we should begin to panic. Not when they are desperately trying to come here. Students coming here is an indication that despite the best efforts of white Christian nationalist devils, they haven’t succeeded in destroying the country.

maybe the internally inconsistent contradictory babblelicious OP had something to do with it :patrice:
I gave him benefit of the doubt with his first post. Thru 5 pages I can see based on the select posts he chooses to reply to that he already had his mind made up and wasn't really looking for genuine discourse

Another reason people don't mention much...local money. The biggest university in each state is typically the largest employer in the state or top 5. Foreign students are obviously not a majority of student bodies anywhere in the US but they're often 10-25%, and that equals money and jobs. Another employer that's typically the largest or top 5 in states? Hospitals (many of which are tied to universities btw). That's a lot of money and jobs, not to mention key professions like doctors/surgeons/etc.

And I don't want to hear "those spots can go to Americans" from the same group of people who have spent the last decade telling people college is worthless and offers no benefits lol. You cannot have it both ways. We have large segments of the American population who simply do not give a fukk about college. You know who gives a fukk about college? Second generation kids, immigrants, and foreign students. And before someone brings up costs lets be real: Americans, specifically (white and black) American men, aren't going to cheap trade schools either. Large percentages are simply not doing jack shyt, even when jobs/skills/etc are directed advertised to them. Employers are begging men to work for good wages and they're refusing.
