F1 students are not American citizens and are not entitled to an immigration pathway through employment.

They are on a student visa with the right to study at an American university.

This is true, but on the whole immigrant college graduates are typically a boon to an economy, not a drag. It's in our best interest to keep these people here, rather than shipping them back home.

I don't know the statistics to agree or disagree.

I can only convey that the current system is shady and is rife with abuse. Reform is necessary, preferably nonpartisan.

We do not need more entry level candidates. By allowing the importation of entry level workers you deny graduates the chance to receive training and obtain valuable experience. There's then little incentive for employers to train fresh grads.

We've already asked you to “really, please stop” commenting like this, so we've banned the account.

American citizens would be entitled to an immigration pathway?

H-1B allows dual intent, but H-1B does not require dual intent.
