Report: Coronavirus Blocking Foreign Graduates from Taking U.S. Jobs

The coronavirus epidemic may block many foreign graduates from getting the college-level jobs needed by U.S. graduates this year, according to an article in QZ.com.

The piece of good news for U.S. graduates is a minor compensation for the millions of American college jobs wiped out in the economic crash caused by China’s lethal disease. U.S. students and political activists have begun targeting the program.

Every year, many U.S. universities accept tuition payments from foreign students and then help them get jobs via the little-known Optional Practical Training (OPT) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT) programs. In 2018, 200,000 foreign graduates and 151,000 foreign students got work permits from these two programs, for jobs starting in the summer.

"Unlike many U.S. students, foreign students are usually paying full tuition rates at the universities they attend."

Hence colleges in panic mode since their additional cash cow (minus regular out of staters) foreign students won't be coming this fall.

We need to send back all 370,000 Chinese students that are in the USA back to China. Two reasons they are here is because they can access and steal our research and the second reason is because China pays very high tuition fees for them and the universities willing accept the money regardless of the theft of intellectual property.
