In my experience thought it isn't poorer URM that are benefitting. It is typically a wealthy URM going to these schools that then gets an extra bump because of their race. The economic diversity at many colleges is much worse than their racial diversity.

We should definitely take as much top talent as possible. However many public schools are there with a mission to educate the population of that state. So if local students are displaced for international ones there is a conflict between that and the desire to scoop up international talent.

>Also, university here in America need to be reworked to be 95% US citizen. It is ridiculous that talented students are being rejected to keep that sweet international student tuition. This would help Asian and White Americans who are being cheated.

This to me is a major problem. There are way, way, way too many international students at many public universities. They are mostly there because their tuition is so high it is a windfall for the school. Unfortunately it often means we are training individuals who go back to a foreign country and undertraining our own population.
