I don't think taxpayer money should be spent providing educational assistance to foreigners. I wonder about the value of foreign aid. Twelve of the 14 years I spent overseas were connected to such aid but I was not a direct U.S. government hire. I find it natural that one would have deep feelings for the land of ones birth. One can miss relatives, customs and food. One can resent the superior attitue of many Americans that have never lived anywhere else and who may appear to be uneducated about the rest of the world. A foreigner, living here, set me straight on this, when I was praising foreign newspapers. He said, "we Argentinians know everything about the rest of the world. But we can do nothing to improve our own countries. You Americans know nothing but are deeply involved in your schools and local governments. Which is more important? "

My point is Boyapati's views agree with those of many other Americans. It is also not clear that immigrants are taking advantage of the U.S. Those I know are making a real contribution.
