[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This country has to deal with the surge in international students. China alone has 250,000 kids studying in the U.S.  That's a lot of spots. I know it's a complicated issue but people have to at least talk about it. My view is that it was great when the best and the brightest came here to study and stayed. Now the best and the brightest come for their education and often leave. In some cases, we can blame the immigration law, in others we have to acknowledge there is more opportunity now in other nations. But learning and leaving is a big problem [/quote]

You would think that so many Chinese students with degrees from our most selective schools would go home and push for more democracy and individual (and academic) freedom.  But, alas, the Commies still seem very entrenched in the government there.  Indeed, many of the students who attend our most prestigious schools are the sons and daughters of the Communist ruling elite.  Maybe it's time for our universities to stop squandering resources on the un-reformable![/quote]

When you consider the fact that the cost to educate a student is far higher than full tuition, we're also effectively providing a giant subsidy to China if the students don't stay here after they graduate.[/quote]
