    No, Mr. Magoo was far more aware than Fat ass Donald. (i've decided that since he slaps insulting labels on anyone he doesn't like, everyone should start returning the "favor". If he doesn't respect others deserving of it, why should anyone respect his fat ass? Just askin'

    AS for fewer foreigners being good news, tell that to the travel industry, the hospitality industry, the education industry. But I get how you'd be comfortable with tens of thousands of your fellow citizens being directly impacted losing business and jobs, so you can feel comfortable in your skin.

    As the dumbing down of america continues its relentless march. Given how much a post secondary education costs in america its not surprising many young people are choosing a different path.

    I must be having a senior's moment but I can't seem to find a source for statistics on post secondary vocational enrollment that would indicate if many are opting for the "trades".

    So naturally all democrats are rooting for a recession just to piss on trump's parade.

    Whataboutery abounds when the truth friggin' hurts.

    LOL, really? I link to ones hoping for it, you accuse a PF poster of the same. Pretty weak.
    Anyhow, that's how deranged a % of democrats are, actually HOPING for a recession, fellow man be damned. TDS is more than a meme. Without strawmen, you'd lose most of your "debate" material.

    Yes I'm aware.. but that still doesn't stop Universities from chasing the bottom line, there was a huge scandal in America and in Australia Universities are becoming a national security risk... all for money

    no they don't... the profit is not used as subsidies... where do you get that from. Fees just keep increasing, if they make a profit they use the money for something else... their own wages probably. There is no end to their greed

    Universities sell students dead degrees, these poor students have debts they can never repay nor does it guarantee them a job in that field. It's atrocious.

    We need a complete review of the curriculum, the way these Universities suck students dry financially and the risks they pose for exporting our science

    That's assuming these tech jobs done by foreigners didn't come at the expense of other Americans.

    I think its more to do with the high chances of getting a good job from an affordable education vs the low chances of getting a great job from an expensive education.

    The cushy liberal arts careers are all obfuscated behind a maze of bureacracy just to figure out where to submit the job application request form. You go find them because they don't really need you.

    Welder and heavy equipment operator jobs are spammed all over craigslist. They damn near come find you, cuz they need you now.

    I always wondered who would do that? A couple times I was hired to take someone else's job, when i found out i told the person that hired me to shove it I quit.

    Oh well then, of course, egocentric anecdotal experiences are more than sufficient to dismiss any negative impact of Dear Leader Donnie's policies and performance.

    HAHAHAHA! Since when did Post Docs and PHDs NOT get paid peanuts and be exploited by their bosses and institutions?
    Don't need an HB1 for that since its been normal course in the industry since time immemorial.

    Its only an anecdotal observation, but in what seems like a big chunk of new scientific papers published in North America, particularly in the area of physics and material science have first generation chinese scientists in leadership positions. I presume you meant the implied national security threat of intellectual property theft.

    |As for its all for the money, I don't think it fair to paint the entire industry with the same brush. For instance in publicly funded universities it's about not spending what you don't have, not about making as much as you can.

    So you think college tuition growth would have been even higher if not for foreign students?

    That sounds ridiculous to me, but I'm willing to hear your case.

    Anyone that believes businesses and jobs can grow if we have a diminishing population obviously doesn't believe in supply and demand??It is rather pointless to manufacture if there is shrinking demand.

    I think the topic of this thread is just the education industry. And on that count, I'm skeptical that actual jobs were lost because few foreign students showed up. I am sure however, that more college seats for Americans became available.

    Walmart and McDonald's was starting people off at $17 bucks an hour a few years ago in some towns in South Dakota, why was that?
