"One last point about education. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of students excelling in our schools who are not American citizens. Some are the children of undocumented workers, who had nothing to do with the actions of their parents. They grew up as Americans and pledge allegiance to our flag, and yet live every day with the threat of deportation. Others come here from abroad to study in our colleges and universities. But as soon as they obtain advanced degrees, we send them back home to compete against us. It makes no sense."


I hope in the upcoming reform there is something that resolves the pain we (student in F1)  face regarding the loophole in the immigration system.


Below is my wishlist that I'm planning to send to uncle sam that will qualify bright and hard working student in F1 to obtain permanent residency:

a) Get a Bachelors/Masters/Phd/ Post PHD from an american univesity in science, math and technology.
b) Reside in America for at least 8 years.
c) Be involved in research to innovate and prosper America or be gainfully employed to support innovation.
d) Have no record of criminal history and be a good moral character.


I didn't put the above four points because It fits my bill but  because it is sensible and people will have to have patience and be success driven to achieve the American dream.
