    •  That's illegal. Maybe we shouldn't extend (0+ / 0-)

      student visas if the system is going to be abused.

      •  I don't agree with that (0+ / 0-)

        I think it is good for us to take in students and export our experience.

        I actually think we should just allow more of those kids to stay here after their education is over.  The main problem I have with our immigration policy is that the chief people we let into the country are uneducated laborers, and we make doctors and scientists take a number.

        •  But that would not please the Hispanic activists (0+ / 0-)

          I'm not sure that there are as many Hispanic doctors and scientists as there are from Asian or European countries.

          •  That I agree with. (0+ / 0-)

            We could do brain drain on most other countries, but elect not to.

            the most incredible competitive advantage in today's economy, and we just squander it.
