[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big MAGA talking point is that foreigners are taking US jobs. It's true - you try getting a job in the Silicon Valley. That is where I'm from, my family lived there until recently but it is literally impossible to compete with H1B visa holders - and now their kids and friends. Even in areas that you don't need tech skills - like marketing - you can't compete. And then competing with foreign students to get into college - there are less spaces for Americans, so there is less opportunity for them and it's a downward spiral.

The universities don't need billions saved in endowments. They can afford to not take foreign money from students. [/quote]

Sorry to hear that, but that's how to keep American companies competitive globally, suck talents from other countries, [b]and keep labor cost low in this country. [/b]
Same for foreign students, some of them will stay, some will go back to their countries becoming head of states, bureaucrats in their government, that gives great advantage to U.S to advocate its policies and interests, other countries like China, Russia, or EU would dream to have talented students come to their universities.[/quote]

Then we need reform for workers here. Not to compete with each other. Companies should have limits on profits, limits on what they promise shareholders, limits on what they pay CEOs and most importantly, investment back into workers by competitive wages for all (no undercutting). This is (gasp!) a bend towards unions and regulation on unfettered capitalism. Yes. I know that scares people. But why are people more scared of this kind of governmental "overreach" - Oversight - and not the overreaching of a smalldick dictator telling colleges what to do? [/quote]
