Now many students want to stay in the USA. When the USA obliges them,we Americans are contributing to the "brain drain" which keeps many countries in a perpetual state of underdevelopment. This does neither the student's sending country a favor nor, at this particular juncture,the USA which is experiencing nearly double digit unemployment. Why should foreign nationals be competing in the labor market here? Only the pinheads at PU can explain this.
