[quote=Anonymous]Employers don't have to pay payroll taxes on OPT employees, making them 15.3% cheaper to hire. The FICA fund loses out on $2.5 billion each year due to this. OPT visas are not merit-based and have no restrictions or limitations. Fewer than 50% of U.S. STEM graduates are finding jobs in STEM fields, which is a direct result of the OPT program. The OPT program is harming American STEM grads by giving companies a financial incentive to hire temporary foreign workers, even though the government is actively encouraging American students to study for STEM degrees. To make matters worse, a federal court has decided that the government does have the power to exempt OPT workers from Social Security and Medicare taxes, making it even cheaper for employers to hire them.[/quote]
