here is what I found, "When it comes to science and technology (S&T) prowess, the United States has historically cherry-picked the world. During the post-WWII period, foreign graduate students comprised as much as half, and sometimes more, of those enrolled in America's research universities. In 1997, according to the National Science Foundation, the foreign born accounted for 44% of US PhDs in engineering, 30% in mathematics, 29% in chemistry, and 25% in the biological sciences. " the-scientist.com "Nearly a third of the doctoral degrees in science and engineering awarded in the U.S. each year go to foreign nationals, as do 40% of the PhDs in engineering and computer science, according to the National Science Foundation's 2002 Science & Engineering Indicators." businessweek.com But keep in mind that the above figure included only the people who had been awarded the degree in that year. And the graduate school takes multiple years of work, so one would see more foreigners than native speakers at one point in time in natural science depts across the US campus.
