[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not just the common ap, its also the influx of foreign applicants. And nothing will be done about it because colleges love this. They appear to be more selective and they love the foreign students because they pay full freight.[/quote]

F1 Student Visa is a fraud, then the OPT program is the extension of F1 program for cheap labor.

250,000 Saudi students in US, huge surge.  Funded by King Abdullah Scholarships Program.   Money from US paying Saudi for oil is funding their elites to go to school in US.

Of course we have millions of immigrants taking the jobs from blue collar workers but no one cares about that.  But when they take a college spot, it becomes an issue ???

Optional Practical Training (OPT).  The term "practical training" in DHS-speak is a euphemism for work. Optional Practical Training is merely work that takes place on a student visa. There is no requirement that training take place.

In 2008 the regulatory process ran amok. The year before, Microsoft's chief lobbyist came up with a scam to circumvent the quota on H-1B guestworker visas. He wrote DHS and suggested that the OPT work period be expanded to 29 months. If the H-1B quota prevented an alien from getting a work visa, he could just work on a student visa instead.

Over the next few months, DHS worked in absolute secrecy with industry and academic lobbyists to come up with regulations. The regulatory process is supposed to take place in public, but DHS did not let anyone other than lobbyists know that these regulations were being considered. DHS crafted regulations that would allow aliens on student visas who graduated with degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields to work in the United States for up to 29 months. It also allowed former students to be unemployed and looking for work. The whole purpose of the regulations was to undermine H-1B visa quotas.

Huge unemployment from 2008 meltdown and our culture still imports cheap labor to support huge multi-national corporations, the 1% clube of CEOs.

Now in 2014 there are over 250,000 Saudi students in US paid by Saudi gov.  and almost 300,000 Chinese students in US on same F1 visa program.
