Don't these immigrants have to buy houses, cars, food and all of the other things that make it worth living here? You sound like you have been listening to Rush too long. We have plenty of kids available to take these courses. We're selling those seats to the highest bidders because state colleges are underfunded and desperate for higher tuitions that come from out of state (country) students. You have not explained why all of those "available" American kids are not taking the science and engineering courses. Are you trying to say they are being discriminated against? (not enough "affirmative action" perhaps?) Maybe we should give Americans an extra 500 points on their SATs and extra grade points once they get accepted so they can compete. You admit they already get a big break on tuition Mental wealth redistribution. Maybe it is just because our overpriced K-12 government schools suck. We spend more money on K-12 than any other country, yet we rank around #26 in math and science. That is the real reason why our kids waste their college money on courses that only qualify them to be the most interesting barista at Starbucks. A whole lot of that is due to the union 'protection' afforded worthless 'teachers' (term used very loosely here). BULL****. |

I know there are some union hacks who don't pay taxes. |
