ICE Tells Foreign Students to Leave the Country If Their Schools Are Online-Only

It is just horrific to watch the unfolding of everything that gives us a competitive edge and makes this country stand out. At the same time watching people cheer it.

We are sending our best and brightest into the welcoming arms of the competition. And I don’t mean this in a good guy bad guy way, more in the sense of healthy competition between sports teams.

We already know about the countless contributions of Immigrants, even when it comes to job creation from immigrant founded companies. As we turn them away, we continue to dissolve into unprecedented dysfunction, at a time that we most need to attract that energy to get us out of this nasty rut.

As an immigrant who came here from India at age 12, this is home. And it’s sad to see your home being eaten into by politically motivated termites and rotting at every level at the core, while many of my fellow Americans cheer it on our self-destruction.

I'm not seeing it. Unless Europe suddenly figures out how to pay real wages at the same time that China discovers how to not be horrible people can always be imported at the discretion of whoever is managing the system. People come to the US for the money.

Higher wages in US is just cost of doing business - most top tier people won’t work in US at lower salaries because of extreme uncertainty and zero safety net.

Salaries in Canada are lower but the safety net makes up for it.

this has to be a joke post. the safety net is provided to poor people, by the taxed salary of the high paid people. you are saying the high paid people want to work in canada, so they can pay for poor people?

my job pays 250k standard in the states. literally the same job, at the same company, is 160k canadian. it's even less in france.

yes, yes, you get insurance. so do i -about 8k/year taken out of my paycheck.

But better social services. Salaries will go up with more competition.

Seems like an excellent opportunity to test this assertion.
