I was thinking about MIT and foreign grad students. Consider the following:
1. 40% of the grad students are foreign
2. There are about 5000 grad students so that is 2000 foreign students
3. Half of them are PRC students or 1,000 students from the PRC
4. All grad students are funded by some form of research, almost solely from the US Government
5. The student costs paid for at $60,000 tuition and $40,000 support, or $100,000 per student per year
6. The PRC students are thus supported by we the Taxpayers for $100 million per year
7. When I was there in 60s we had no USSR students
8. The PRC students are there under the rubric of the US State Dept viusa program
9. The research grants do not restrict who is supported
Now think about this.
