Education
I have always felt that the millions of dollars that are spent by our government on educating foreign nationals in this country,could be better spent on educating our own people who are financially strapped. Foreigners who want to come to the U.S. for their education, should in my opinion, pay for it themselves or ask their own governments to help them. This may seem like an isolationist view or even UN Christian to some, but it really isn't. When I went abroad for a portion of my own education in Spain, I paid for my own travel over to Spain and for my tuition and board and room at, Vox Idiomas, which is a satellite campus of the University of Madrid. My schooling in Spain was a highlight of my educational experiences, but Spain did not subsidize me or any other foreign students that I met at the University of Madrid.

I agree also.  I feel as though we are being used by other countries so much.  We give and give but then they say such terrible things about us when they are in their own countries.  I worry if sometimes our countries generosity is actually a detriment to others.  You know teach a man to fish kind of thing.    Maybe I am cynical about it all is the problem.  I know it has nothing to do with the students that come here, but it does have a lot to do with the government leaders.
