I only found the name of that PhD candidate - Qi Yin. So I'm guessing the US is doing what it's been doing best in recent times - teaching foreign students, then sending them home because "Americans need jobs". That reaaaally has to change, and soon...

French here, same things happens here to a lesser extent. The fact that foreign don't have to pay fees (as well as the local), lots of foreign students come here and go home once they completed their studies.

A shame - if they were given the opportunity to work or start a business right away without going through heaps of bureaucracy, everyone would benefit in the long run. As it is, many don't have a choice but to return to [insert underdeveloped country] and try their luck there...
