Are they desirable and competitive programs? I also know of a few of those, STEM, actually, and they are simply cash cows for the university, filled with mediocre foreign students. Very easy to get in, even though they are housed in top schools.

Top ten engineering programs, like the one my kid attends, are aroynd 70% foreign students.

Not the university.

Well have your kid declare engineering major? Sounds like that youth unemployment rate of 11% can be fixed.

You are failing to comprehend what was written.

The kid is in engineering at a top school.

Around 1/3 of the engineering students are foreign students

The masters program for engineering is close to 70% foreign students.

There are plenty of highly qualified US students who could have filled those slots, particularly in the undergraduate program.

Our top universities need to educate our top American students, particularly in national security critical fields like engineering and medicine

In fact, I would say that northern Virginia alonr could easily fill all of those engineering slots with equally or more qualified American students.

It’s not foreign students. It is American students who are non-White. Specifically, American Asians who are excelling in colleges and getting jobs.

If companies stop giving H1B visas, jobs will go off-shore. Problem solved.

And regardless of what lip service will be paid against H1B, if Americans can not compete in skill and salary, companies will shift the work somewhere else.

It does not matter at all. H1B has America by its short hair.

We have Asian Americans or Indian Americans. They tend to go to engineering schools.

So anyone non-white is foreign now? Where do you get the 30%, by visuals or you actually checked their passports?

Ok. The top American students are mainly American Asians. USA will do well if the country is a meritocracy and not racist.

My kid is at one of the top 12 engineering schools.

Easily 30-35% of the students in the program are foreign students, many from hostile adversarial countries.

We know of several incredibly talented kids from our local high school with the same stats as my kid, or better stars, who also applied to that school and were rejected.

Before anyone says well the foreign students are smarter and more hard working than the American kids, my kid coming out of northern Virginia public schools is holding their own with these foreign students, with a more difficult program than many of those kids due to a double major, and my kid was not the smartest or most prepared of the top students at their public high school. I am sure there are hundreds or perhaps close to a thousand kids in just the DC area public and private schools who are just as smart, prepared, hard working and capable of those foreign students, who should have been accepted into the top engineering programs in this country.

I am very supportive of putting a hard cap, maybe 10%, on the percentage of foreign students allowed into any security critical degree program such as sciences and engineering, at any university that receives a dime of federal aide, grants, pell grants or federal loans

We have American kids prepared, brilliant and innovative enough to fill our engineering schools.

This needs to be fixed, not just the work visas.

I majored in chemistry at Michigan in the 2000s and my program was easily majority foreign. It makes science unappealing because the foreign students stick together like glue making friendships and socializing impossible for American-born kids.. American women have no one to date when all the American men in their classes are enamored with quiet-as-mice Chinese girls. The elective classes I took were the only places to meet people. It's obvious why American kids opt for business majors...more fun.

This is ridiculous... Poor kids, can't date or socialize with classmates

lol this forum is more racist than musk’s x.

Nope.

They are foreign students.

The non white American kids are gerting shut out too.

H1B is a scam and needs to be gutted. And, we need to seriously chop the number of international students we let study here, esp from China

All that 180k earning admin personnel salary need to come from somewhere.

Is no one at all worried about the national security risk of having a bunch of foreign H1B's running all our tech? We all assume Indians and Chinese workers who are working at Microsoft, Google, Starlink and a bunch of other Defense companies are going to be loyal to America but we know that China regularly harasses people of Chinese descent for information on their work. We know that many Indians are more loyal to India than America - or would happily sell information to other countries. And with Trump in office, many H1Bs who would have been loyal are rethinking.

In a major world war, would we have enough Americans who know how to code and manage the tech infrastructure to compete against China and Russia? Would China and Russia already have kill switches embedded in our tech thanks to H1Bs?

I not long ago attended an event on campus to speak after not stepping food in campus since 1993.

The school is now 99 percent foreign. Most kids Barely spoke English. Highly doubt any are Catholic. They have dorms now.

School no longer is attended by kids who live near school or alumni. Like a lot of schools loaded up on full pay international to support poor U.S DEI students and athletes.

The middle class local student of 1980s wgoblive within 20 miles of campus not welcome or charged sky high full pay tuition ,

Which school?
