When I was in college I had heard upwards of a third of the visas they were accepting and processing were at the very least questionable, but they accepted them anyways - a local student will pay maybe 5k a semester, while with international students it's upwards of 30k. It's a no-brainer that schools want internationals coming in.

The international students literally subsidize the local students.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing either, it's just exporting education (like you would export lumber or automotive parts)
