(7,602 posts)I worked at a research center at a top university and it was the foreign students in most of the leading edge research groups who led the way. They often worked extra hours and weekends while American students were playing beer pong. This country needs these students and many of them stay here to become leading researchers and professors that benefit our country in numerous ways.

I've met and gotten to know many of our university's professors/researchers, etc. and many of them had resumes with accomplishments that they racked up by the time they were 30 that could knock your socks off.

Or they might be our doctor in a few years because we are so underserved in that regard in this country.
