The Spin
International students, particularly in STEM fields, fill essential roles in the workforce, boosting local economies and addressing labor shortages. They account for a significant percentage of graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, contributing to job creation and lowering unemployment rates. If Americans want a strong, healthy economy, they should support more work permits for these students.
Proponents of Green Cards for foreign students are doing the bidding of greedy corporations, not the American people. Understandably, foreign STEM field students want jobs in the US, given that the same job in their home countries pays pennies to the dollar compared to America. However, they're still paid way less than an American-born STEM graduate would. American college grads have just as much talent, and companies should put them first.
