    You've made your hatred of the USA and Americans clear enough in your messages, so of course you want Iran to have the money and technical means to have every possible way to spread terrorism and to develop the missiles and nuclear weapons to engage in nuclear extortion.

    Of the many things made clear by many Democrats on this forum it is now to them a Democratic Party membership acid test to declare hatred of the USA now and in the past, while defending, advocating for and praising every enemy and adversarial ideology. However, at least then they should stop pretending to give a damn about LGTB and women's rights given they defend and advocate for the governments and religion that is the worse abusers of LGTBs and women of all.

    And everyone one of those means less doctors, surgeons, nurses, engineers, mathemathicians etc in the USA, doesn't it?

    It also would be nice to have those professionals in this country spreading ideals about democracy and freedom in this country to offset the Democratic Party and their corporate MSM propaganda advertising agencies of international corporations and the elite super rich.

    America First. Your Asian friend is not on board. If he is more concerned about one crazy White man killing a member of his own race, and less concerned with the dozens of his race killed by Blacks and Hispanics while running stores---then he is just as much of a racist as an "anti-dark."

    I'm hoping Trump will raise the minimum H1B Visa wage and discourage foreign workers coming here to under cut American workers (actual citizens).

    Globalist Progressive Liberal Universities that rely on foreign students can all go under. America will be all the better for it.

    I don't believe you and it is the Democratic Party that is the political party of the elite super rich and international corporations. There no longer is an American Democratic Party as it has been replaced with the International Corporate Fascist Party.

    The OPer already stated that Indian is a racist who only hires white Americans and non-Americans - no non-white Americans. Hopefully he really does leave the USA. There are enough American Democrat racists, racial segregationists and bigots in the USA. We don't need more racists and bigots from other countries.

    I really do not care a whit what you believe.
    You are incredibly confused in your use of terms and have them flipped. Fascism and the Super Rich are the GOP domain - Just look at where the Koch Brothers spend their money.
    I am done with you since there is no point try to reason with the unreasonable.

    I understand that the Nazi Soros is your guy. The Kosh brothers actually have companies the manufacture things, rather than just manipulate money, so of course you despise the Koch Brothers like all other manufacturers and capitalists. Nazis are who your messages favor, like I said corporate fascism - the new Democratic Party.

    I said nothing about the Democratic Party in my original post on this topic. If the Democratic Party had a bunch of adherents and leaders who were espousing racism and confusing racial hate innuendos I would criticize them as well. If they did it with tweets, I would criticize them even more.

    No I would not. Are you comparing the US to Iran? Tehran is not a desirable destination for foreign students. The US was (is). So is it going to be good for our country, if a large number of foreign students stop coming here for their education?

    I'll ignore the second part of your statement, as it's just your usual rant. Do you want all these foreigners to stay in the US, after they're finished with their education? Earlier you said that foreigners were taking American jobs. You're all over the map.

    I don't want them here in the first place. I want the university slots to go to Americans.

    So are you saying a University like MIT should accept local students who don't meet their qualifications over qualified foreign students?

    The vast majority of middle eastern scientists study in western universities. Asia sends many students abroad as well. Many attend soley to "borrow" intellectual property. Nuclear physics, aerospace, chemical engineering most frequently. States sponsor students who enter fields with military applications. We are inclusive fools.

    Yes, and we also borrow professors from these countries, to teach at our universities. I am a semi-retired Electrical Engineer, and I am (was) a product of this entire establishment. I believe it works well in many ways. I believe that, if a foreign student, has a better background for the top Universities in the US, then he should be accepted before an American, with lesser credentials. The staff and professors of these Universities are well-attuned to the merit of foreign educational degrees and diplomas. I believe they do a good job in getting the top students, both International and Domestic.

    I also believe that you are ignoring the fact that these foreign professors and students are exposed to our democracy and way of life. When they return to their country, they are a minority in this regard, but they can also be a channel for democracy, in an otherwise voice-less country.

    Yep, uni fees are big business. The ramifications would be deep. The face of America has changed and no longer the go to place but the place to dodge. I don't think Trump thought long and hard enough on issues but that's what you get when things are oversimplified!

    Trump is not a deep thinker on any subject. He scrolls thru the news channels while tweeting... He doesn't drink or drug.. I think tweeting is his drug.

    JakeJ can speak for himself, but I suggest that MIT should accept native born students who meet its qualifications over qualified foreign students.

    I would agree, that all credentials equal, an American should get the nod.

    This bears repeating:

    Does America actually benefit from foreign students? Sure the universities get more money, but where is the benefit to America as a country? In fact the logical choice would be to limit foreign students even more, if not cut them off almost entirely.

    I do not think they need to be equal. My opinion is stronger than that:

    1. Preference should be given Americans who meet the standards of the university.
    2. No foreign student should be allowed classes the teach knowledge that may have military or economic high technology, as opposed to taking courses in the humanities. We should not be training Iranians on how to make missiles, bombs, advanced computer sciences, etc. regardless of if they are paying for us to teach them how to destroy us.
