Should probably be noted that the United States is the place to train airline pilots for pretty much every country. There are of course flight schools in other places, but we have the biggest and the best.
It doesn’t bother me at all if there are thousands of aliens going to flight school. It would bother me if they were on fake visas and didn’t want to be bothered with the critical skill of learning to land an airplane.

Under the new laws, American flight schools are only supposed to provide pilot training to foreign students who have been given a background check by the TSA and have a specific type of visa.
But in thousands of cases that has not happened, according to the documents and current and former government officials involved in the program.
“TSA’s enforcement is basically nonexistent,” said former FAA inspector Bill McNease, in an interview for ABC News’ “World News With Charles Gibson.”
