Two weeks ago they decided they needed a 'replacement' for my position

26. I rejoice if someone who didn't have a rich uncle, someone who

played by the rules and has student loans to repay, gets a job and a chance to have a life, maybe, maybe, maybe even pay back those loans and start a family.

I am not pleased if some spoiled brat from India or China whose parents were upper class in those countries, who had (a relatively easy life (compared to his compatriots in his home country) and owes nothing on student loans gets to come to America on a special visa and work here for a few years and take the job some American-kid-in-debt or older-person-trying-to-save-for-retirement or even some middle-{aged-worker-trying-to-send-kids-to-college needs.

Please. This isn't about race or ethnicity or where someone is from.

But I don't like to see kids who are stuck in America and can't get jobs in India or China or wherever undercut by kids from India and China. It's not about race or ethnicity. It's about giving American kids a chance.

Part of the whole myth that justifies the special visas is the repeated mantra that American schools are not up to par.

Well, if that is so, why do we have so many foreign students in our universities? They come here to learn from our American professors who happen to be among the best in the world.

So, there is a whole set of false ideas about the US and the rest of the world, a set of ideas based on a sort of inferiority complex about Americans that is completely false.

And its that false complex of ideas about how we don't compare well to people, to scholars and workers in other countries that I do not like. I've been in other countries. I've lived and worked there. And we can certainly hold our own. We don't need to import workers.
