White House Petition To Let Foreign STEM Grads Work Longer In US Hits 100K Signatures
theodp writes: Computerworld reports that a petition urging the White House to act urgently on a court ruling that could force thousands of recent foreign STEM graduates working in the U.S. on OPT STEM extensions to leave the States early next year reached 100,000 signatures Tuesday, the threshold for an official government response. It could present a political conundrum of sorts for the Obama administration. Because the administration didn't act to protect U.S. workers at Southern California Edison and Disney, explained an attorney in the case, "now that foreign workers will be losing their jobs, how would it look if Obama went into overdrive to protect their jobs?" By the way, using a map to gauge whether support for the petition comes from all over the country (as the White House suggests), indicates that support for the OPT STEM Extension petition is largely concentrated in tech hotspots and universities, including off-the-beaten-path college towns that host large international student populations.
Collectively, immigrants -both legal and illegal- send tens of billions of dollars back to their respective countries every year, removing that currency from US markets. How again is that a "good deal" for the US economy? Besides, according to Pew research, North American nations are already more welcoming than European ones: http://www.pewglobal.org/2007/...
Why don't we reduce the number of foreign students attending our Universities and make room for, you know, Americans? I believe that a good part of the reason that so many foreign students are admitted is the huge premium on tuition that the school collects. Foreign students pay WAY more in tuition than American students do so the schools have a vested interest in having as many foreign students as possible.
Classroom seats, like so many other things in life, is a zero sum game. For every foreign student admitted there is one American student that misses the cut. Why not take care of American students first and then, if there are any seats left, admit foreign students? Would this not address the supposed shortage of skilled STEM workers that business is always whining about?
Honestly, I can't believe some of these guys even made it through grad degrees. These tech schools that have like 90% Asian grad students should be investigated by whoever does accrediting because the guys coming out of some of these programs are fucking retarded. I've met smarter high school geeks than some of these Indian dudes with their $60k masters. Most of these wealthy Indians who come here for grad school are so used to being served by essentially slaves ($40 a month live-in servants) that they have the work ethic of a god damn garden slug.
There is no voter fraud and the GOP has yet to provide any evidence of even a single campaign being put in jeopardy based on it. There's literally more people hit by lightning than committing voter fraud.
Let me google that for you

Never hire Brahmen (top Indian caste). They think they are too good to work.
Lower Indian castes are smart, good workers.
Every Brahmen at IIT had a lower caste 'helper' that did the work for him/her. Find the helper and hire them.
Brahmen will identify themselves in interviews. All you have to do is talk about how 'upper crusty' your family is (doesn't matter if there is any truth to it). They will immediately have to top you.

But hey, I can understand people that think protecting the integrity of the voting system is less important than deciding who can buy cigarettes. /sarcasm
