Foreign Students numbers Increase Dramatically In Golden State

The volume of international students getting visas to come to California colleges has jumped almost 50 percent during the past four years, according to new data from the Department of Homeland Security.

During 2005, about 101,000 international students received F1 visas to study in California; last year, that figure jumped to 147,000.

Some of the increase is due to state colleges relying on international students, who pay high tuition, to subsidize the education of domestic students. The trend also has a lot to do with the good reputation of California colleges.

These are temporary students visas; they don't allow a student to live here permanently or work off campus.

Probably not, but they also gobble up alot more space that should be going to native born citizens. Some of our own families are having their kids turned away for lack of slots.

True. And no way should they be given any kind of money from public sources in this country.
