> As far as I am concerned anyone immigrating from russia after the 1970's was unnecessary, ironically even russia cared enough to not permit its criminals leave its borders.

> H1B visa 'students' are given an advantage over a domestic student only because they are foreign. There are too many loopholes that are designed to 'level the playing field'. Furthermore, the education system is forced to be dumbed down for the sake of the students who either barely speak a word of english, or think everything about this country is a joke.
