[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop accepting foreign students into STEM and other degrees also stop H1Bs[/quote] We would lose all our grad students. STEM PhD programs are often majority international students because Americans don’t want/aren’t well prepared enough to do them.[/quote] We would not. Americans would fill those slots. Foreigners flock to STEM grad programs because a grad degree is required for certain immigration-qualified visas, not because they are smarter or better. [/quote] It’s well documented that Americans prefer to go into industry straight after college rather than do a PhD. And yes, any Professor will tell you that the bar is higher for international students in STEM PhD admissions.[/quote] Foreigners would not be as grad degree focused if grad degrees were not required for certain immigrant visas. And most folks in Silicon Valley know this. [/quote]
