Re: brilliant students have to go home after graduation
A total scam.
Almost all of the brilliant foreign students who attend elite USA universities come from Japan, northern Europe, wealthy Persian Gulf nations, or English speaking countries.
They return home immediately because the standard of living in their home country is as high or higher than the USA.
The ones who stay in the USA are completely average scientists and engineers from China, India, Russia, and Iran.
Between H-1B and OPT, they can get nine years of USA residency, and if an employer sponsors them for a Green Card, they can stay until the Green Card is approved, which can take many years for some countries, like India.
I didn't say that, DJT did. Sigh......
