Where do you get that 'professors' are 'so eager' to 'grab' them? Did you just make it up? Or is that something that 'everybody knows?' Or maybe you heard it from Flush Dimbulb on the radio, so it must be true. If you'd ever spent any time near a university in the last three decades, you'd realize that it's the school trustees (who usually aren't academics, but rather 'philanthropists' or in the case of public universities, politicians) who 'want' them. And why? Because, as you'd known if you'd ever lifted a college catalog instead of a Budweiser, the foreign students pay big bucks. It's anything but a 'free ride.' Furthermore, they don't get federal student loans, block grants, and usually get no scholarships. They're about the only students on whom schools can turn a profit. I know it's trendy for the uneducated to bash intellectuals, but maybe you ought to at least show up for school. It might cure a bit of your ignorance.
