[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW about 80 percent of them come here to find a husband in order to stay in the United States (not to provide childcare or to "learn English." [/quote]

Uhm. No. While many US Americans seem to think that the only reason for foreigners to come to the US is to stay... 80% of APs from first world countries (think western / central / northern / southern Europe, Japan, OZ, SA, Canada, Korea) do definitely not come to find a husband. Not for childcare and learning English either but to travel, find new friends, take a gap year between school / university and adult responsibilites, because it looks good on their CV, because it's so much cheaper than year at a US high school or studying abroad for a year or to figure out what they want from life. Not saying that some don't find partners and decide to stay but definitely not 80%.

17,586 were placed in US families in 2015. Do you really think that 14,000 stayed or intended to stay at the end of the year? Every year? If that was the case the US would have closed the program down years ago. And rightly so.[/quote]
