主要提及了如果OPT时间过短有些需要时间的好项目都没法完成：

strongly support this rule. As a international student under OPT right now I deeply felt that this rule will greatly help us students and their companies. To be able to perform a complete research or project in our company it requires first some time to ramp up as a new hire then we can dive deep into the project or conduct the research. That means a project usually takes a fairly long time. With only 12 months in the OPT international students like me would be able to finish researches or project like this. And we will end up leaving the country without finish the project. It is a huge loss for a career starter not to be able to finish the very first research or project. With added time to the OPT extension, students can have more time to finish their program, research or project. They will also have the opportunity to take a more interesting or more challenging project which typically takes more time to finish. This will be benefical for both the students and their company.

自从觉察事态不对后，下达了每天至少评论10条的指标。看了几个老美negative的评论，我只想说，他们压根就没搞清楚状况，他们连STEM是啥都不清楚。Anyway，下面贴出今天我觉得写的比较长的comments. 求Warald大神给米，以后刷题求经验用的着。

I see so many negative comments with arguments saying our citizens cannot find jobs, foreign labor is much cheaper, they do not need to pay medical care and social security tax part.

I want to argue each reason one by one.

American cannot find jobs?
There are many reasons our people cannot find jobs. Each individual case is different from another one. The OPT Ext rule only applies to STEM background students; such background jobs are still greatly increasing. Our native companies are in great need of candidates with these backgrounds. Our native students with STEM background are very limited due to hardworking learning process. The new rule will only bring prosperity and economy benefit to this country no matter short or run way.

Foreign labor is much cheaper?
This rule only apply for STEM students, STEM means science, technology, engineering, math, are you thinking hiring students with these background is cheap?
These students are all with at least bachelor; even most of them go to graduate school acquiring higher degrees. Hiring students with such background is much more expensive because they have these special skills, which is exactly our Americans are lack of.

They do not need to pay some tax like Social security and medical care
We know for social security tax, after you lose job or retire, you can get compensation. You pay so you earn. It’s like your deposit. For OPT students, they won’t get such benefit unless they get green card and stay here. So, it’s very reasonable because at the F-1 status moment, they cannot get such benefit, so, why should they pay? Another key point needs to consider is that the rule only applies to STEM student, whose salary is at a high level, more than average of national wide. So, that means they have to pay more tax, not less than most of us!!! We know, a lot of them are engineers working in California, where tax rate is much higher than other states. They pay such high tax which deliver to our welfare. Why we Americans are so hypocritical to force them go back? I don’t understand.

So, in all, I think it’s very beneficial to keep STEM students here, remember, I vote for them, the STEM students, not others.

As a U.S citizen, I SUPPORT this proposal for at least two reasons:

1. Many firms in our country are equal opportunity companies for the seek of having the very best talents around the world make various contributions to our society. Not having this proposal approved will certainly cause enormous international talents lose.

2. Many of the reviewers think this proposal will put American candidates in an unfair situation. THIS IS A LITTLE SELFISH AND UNCONVINCING. I strongly believe competition drives to excellence. I am pretty sure many American candidates like myself were forced to improve ourselves more or less along both our educational and professional development due to the competition with the international talents.

AMERICANS SHOULD NOT BE FAIR OF COMPETITIONS, BUT DRIVE OURSELVES TO EXCELLENCE!

Regarding to Tracking Number: 1jz-8m3b-khig, I want to say something.

There is no denying that most US citizen were immigrants. Otherwise, giving back this country to Indians. It was immigrants who created the most powerful country in the world. If United States banish new immigrants from now on, I doubt it will be that powerful anymore.

Foreign students come over here and get a good education so they can enrich their own country instead of US.
Local students won't be aggressive any longer since there is less competition. They are satisfied with staying the most powerful country and overlook the weak Europe lesson.
WAKE UP WASHINGTON.

1jz-8m3b-khig 原文：
It is time to stop this run away president, who seems to be doing anything he wants to do with no restrictions. If the rest of government is going to just stand by and provide no checks and balance, then why elect anyone else but the president (king). You allow foreign students to come over here and get a good education so they can return home and change their country but that's not the way it is working in this day and age. You are allowing them to come here receive an education then stay and change this country. WAKE UP WASHINGTON.

刚才又水了一条。
