“A review board in Virginia has begun the process of shutting down a suspected “visa-mill” college that placed thousands of low-wage foreign graduates into Americans’ white-collar jobs.
Colleges are allowed to get work permits to an unlimited number of fee-paying foreign students and graduates via the federal Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. This huge but little-known OPT program costs the federal government at least $2 billion per year, and it pushes many thousands of American graduates out of good jobs and leaves them with far less money to pay off their college debts”.
