The Biden administration is making policy changes aimed at easing the path for foreign students and professionals in STEM fields

Though the changes are technical, Biden administration officials said they are necessary to make it easier for foreign STEM graduates to live and work in the U.S., rather than in other countries with friendlier immigration systems.

It is unlikely that tweaking such visa policies will make a significant difference in attracting more foreign students. Broader changes, such as increasing the number of visas available or expanding visa eligibility, must be made by Congress, where any immigration legislation has become caught up inStill, higher-education and business advocates applauded the Biden administration’s moves as meaningful changes that would help attract students to the U.S.

Though many international students dream of studying in the U.S., the uncertainty around whether they can build lives here after graduation—oftenor other arcane criteria—has driven some would-be students away from making the attempt. The administration is attempting to create opportunities for scientific researchers to work for businesses on J-1 visas, providing an alternative to the popular H-1B visa for foreign professionals. Though the H-1B is the most popular visa type that international students use to remain in the U.S., the number that is handed out each year is limited and demand always outstrips supply.

The policy changes are a reversal from the Trump administration, which believed that smoothing visa pathways for international students and professionals would create more competition with American professionals and potentially lower their wages.

I suppose the foreign students crossing the border illegally don’t meet the criteria

Heaven forbid we nurture homegrown talent.

I think this is a good call Biden. Saddened that our shitty culture idolizes brands, sports stars, and shitty degrees, so were left with a deficit of useful degrees. We have to import folks with values on a real education. Germany has over a 1/4 of awarded degrees in STEM.

I guess all the hometown folks have been jobbed up

So more Chinese spys from the CCP families ?
