are you sure it was taxpayer financed. As a former international student, the tuition for international students was 3x for locals at a big state university in the south. Besides football programs, most schools get their financing from international students.

Citation? Why do our federal and state budgets have multi billion dollar line items for funding universities if it's just international students paying for everyone.

State universities accept a lot more than 3 in state students for every international student.

Some universities yes, others decidedly not. Did this person go to a public university?

Further, why is it so bad that we spend money to educate people, even if those people aren't Americans? What makes an American inherently more deserving of his spot in class?

I'm responding to someone who's claiming that the schooling was subsidized. I have no idea if that's true. His time in grad school at least would probably have included a lot of grants.
