[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not ban foreigners from competing in the US Open Tennis grand slam? That way, more US players can qualify and play in the tournament. Is that a good thing? Will you buy tickets to a much, much more mediocre tournament? Will you enjoy the tournament without foreign players?

Now ask the same question about colleges. [/quote]

Stupid analogy.  The US Open Tennis Tournament is not funded with US taxpayer dollars.  US colleges are, both in terms of research grant funds and with substantial financial aid programs without which the colleges would be unable to operate.  Since US colleges cannot subsist without federal financial support, it is not unreasonable for the federal government to limit the number of foreigners taking advantage of said institutions.[/quote]

DP. You are the ignorant one. US colleges are not funded by tax dollars. Research and faculty/student scholars are.

It's actually a good analogy, but you're too blinded by propaganda to notice.[/quote]

Wrong again, moron.  Federal financial aid is sent directly from the government to the schools, not to the students.  The colleges thus are funded by the federal government.[/quote]
