US Visa system is not very friendly to foreign students either.


Yeah. Right now the US offers its educational infrastructure to foreigners to study in, and then destroys most of the good will that this generates in the student by basically kicking them out after graduation. Not sure how this makes sense from either a business or a PR standpoint.


I'm wondering if creating per-state Visas would help this. States that want to be more open to foreigners could potentially fast-track such visas, but getting a full USA citizenship would require jumping through more hoops.


That sounds like an excellent idea. I wonder what political forces would oppose this?
