Granted! Now US universities consist of 99% immigrants/people on student visas.

As long as you let universities act like for-profit businesses, their profits will be the only thing they optimize for.

No. It's a disaster. The poor pay for the richest to go to public universities. See Brazil.

There are more low-income people in private universities (with private or private/public loans) than in public universities.

This is really not a big thing nowadays in Brazil because if "quotas" in public university.

This WAS a thing without the quotas, though.
