[quote=Anonymous]I think there may be many reasons why this has been implemented. I have lived in Asia 6 years now. I hope this photo ID with test/application keeps some of the fraud(fake test takers and assay writers) that goes on here with college entrance gets taken down a notch. things are not what they seem, you gotta get out there and see for yourself. There are people in other countries who are absolute expert at taken advantage of the american open system - think maternity tourism. At my kids international school, the 60% supposed expats is made of what us real expats call passport holders with no roots, ties or interest in the US, It is so they can get an economic leg up, access to both theirs and US job market. Their foreign passports allow them to get in to the international schools where they can learn flawless english and then go on to US schools and on to their careers in the US, even government jobs that require clearances. That wouldn't be a problem if I had not witnessed a level of disdain for the US in some of these passport holders. They are Americans of convenience. And no, you don't get hired by the local conglomerate without often being treated like second class citizen at the local level. The only way to come here is to bring your job with you, preferably with a western company. Being born here doesn't count you as a citizen either, at least one parent has to be a citizen. There's a reason why everything here is either copied or stolen - very few original ideas. Likewise, getting in to the universities is not always merit base, at least not from my vintage point.
