Many prospective legal immigrants think that they can go to US for higher studies and after that, find a job in US and get Green Card etc. That route is very difficult now. This blog do a great job in explaining all the pros and cons which international students should think before spending their hard earned money in US universities.

Depends on what they study. Sciences, MBAs (from top schools, not crappy ones) grads that I know got jobs and were sponsored for green card on EB-2 quite easily.

Of course if they came to study an MBA in a middle-of-the-pack school, or a phoney masters, that won't happen.

I am not talking about phoney ones, foreign students are issued F-1 visas by US embassies for recognised universities only. Say universities like Texas Tech or LSU, Oklahoma state etc. For foreign students, its a wastage of time and money to come to United States for higher studies.

I think he meant phoney in the sense of useless/paper to hang on a wall such as business administration ... Somehow only the ones who do not make it consider their US education a waste of time and money. Plenty of others find jobs and stay.

Number of students who do not make it has increased a lot. Thats why now many people think it as a waste of money and time. People will not think on that line 10-15 years ago.
