> That's equal to 82% of our graduating class who are guaranteed jobs even before any Americans walk across the stage for their diploma.

This is such a weird phrasing. These people are not "guaranteed" jobs. They get a job and then apply for a visa which is granted because they have offer letters. In fact the whole article reads like American government is somehow giving these people jobs rather than allowing them to work on jobs they have already gotten.

The most uncharitable reading of this is usual racist dog whistle.

They would rather be poor and underdeveloped than have immigrants start more than half of billion dollar+ startups.

Billion dollar raises, not billion dollar profitable business. What exactly are these startups doing besides mega grifting and creating more useless layers of tech?
