Because most of the 9/11 hijackers came to USA on F1 visa. You will be very disappointed to see pre-9/11 stats for foreign enrollments in undergrads.

For example this <a href="http://internationaloffice.berkeley.edu/multiple_use/Fall%202007%20Statistics.pdf" rel="nofollow"><i>imaginary</i> stat for foreign student enrollment at UC Berkeley (Fall 2007)</a> which tells me that there are 887 undergrad enrollments including exchange students. I would recommend you to visit other <i>imaginary</i> UC websites (expecially <i>imaginary</i> UCLA and Mi>imaginary</i> UCSD) where similar are stats available for foreign students.

You obviously didn't go to grad school. All those foreign students are in PhD programs, which is free anyways, since they provide years of cheap labor doing research for their professors. Undergrad students on UC campuses are virtually all Americans, because it would be extremely expensive for anyone without CA residency to attend. Pralay,

Did you go to college? I started having doubt. Just go to any UC campus and find out how many engineering students are studying there on F1 visa. So it's not true that those univ/colleges are 'sold out' with only American students. Colleges are educating ample foreign students. The only problem is that America made those colleges financially unaffordable and unreachable for many American students. Needless to say that when higher education system cannot match with the growth of the industry, that's definitely not a good model. Bottomline, as usual, I don't see any coherent logic in your argument. It's shifting as it goes. Let me laugh one more time: ha ha ha! Did you go to college? I started having doubt.

American companies have a huge demand for engineers. If you think about it. It's not such a bad business model. America does not need to educate those foreign engineers. It simply hires them and use them to make money. Absolutely. American companies have a huge demand for engineers. If you think about it. It’s not such a bad business model.

Another amazing logic! American engineering schools are ’sold out' but we still need lots of immigrant engineers from outside. In that case, may be American needs a few more engineering colleges. Or increasing numbers of seats in existing colleges and universities. Of course, we would not do it, because more students require more teachers and resources. Instead our governator would cut funding from UC and CalStates and increase tuition fees. Ha ha ha! Another amazing logic!
