Foreign students have recognized this and have taken advantage of this trend for decades; Free scholarships were given many who applied for admission and jobs were plentiful. But no more - at [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] some point the music stops and the party ends. You can't get something for nothing forever. With the current Trump administration, there appears to be no intention of kicking the can down the road, particularly as regards jobs. If you cannot pay the full tuition and room and board at a US University, it's time to stay in your country. There are more than enough unemployed Americans and you just have to see the news to know that [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] AI is going to make things a whole lot worse in a short time.

Why do they come over here so much to attend college either in person or online? What is wrong with their own colleges in their home country?

Salesforce job cuts was AI not outsourcing. [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] I 100% agree H1B is flawed, and abused and needs to be cut down drastically, but as farmers are finding out, putting tariffs on other countries does not mean it improves your current situation. All that happens is the multi-national companies (who is only who Trump cares about) find other ways to make the savings, and your still not going to get your job back, nor are those jobs coming back any time soon [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] 7 hours ago by Anonymous [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] | 4 reactions (+4/-0) | Reply [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] Post ID: @j4+1k4qk5q13 [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] India's IT sector nervous as US proposes outsourcing tax [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/india-s-it-sector-nervous-as-us-proposes-outsourcing-tax/ar-AA1MkxbY?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=LCTS&cvid=68c283fc2d3c4e0d817b5753095326bb&ei=29 [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] 9 hours ago by Anonymous [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] | 5 reactions (+5/-0) | Reply [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] Post ID: @hq+1k4qk5q13 [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] Consider also passing limits on how many foreign students can attend our universities [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] " [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k4qk5q13 [19:40] *TechBN has quit (connection closed) [19:40] *TechBN (~b0t@iijacan2vrgta.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:40] -TechBN/#boycottnovell-Failed to load module HelloWorld.
