America is a land of immigrants and dreams. People would have been here today, as a citizen, because their father and mother,or grandfather and grandmother had come to America and they had been allowed to stay here. If someone had chucked out their ancestors, there would not be any civilization here today.

我的主要观点是
1. 目前tech industry demand非常大，tech company需要国际学生来填补空缺。国际学生在tech company表现都非常好，能为tech company做出很大贡献->tech company的revenue更高->能交更多的税给政府->每个民众都能获益。如果OPT过期或者H1B没抽中的话，对于tech company以及每个美国民众都会是损失。
2. OPT延期不会对本地美国人的就业产生任何威胁，OPT extension的有效范围本身就是tech industry的。所有tech company都把US citizen放在top priority的因为他们不需要帮助US citizen办H1B。目前tech industry的high demand就是因为US citizens没法填补空缺，所以他们才需要招募更多国际学生。

这是昨天的，今天争取再发一条。

我每次都写的好长 叙述很多论据
写了几篇了 角度不同

我觉得就是因为让这么多理科生 写那么多长的comment
有畏惧心理， 所以白宫请愿都有１０w
现在comment 才几千

其实大家能写多少写多少， 几行都有帮助， 特别是刚来美国的同学不用怕， 能写多少写多少， 只要写每人写几句 都会有很大的帮助的

I strongly support this rule. This role will attract more F-1 students from all over the world to US, and therefore benefit US economy a lot.

F-1 students spent a lot for their tuition fee, which is an important financial support for US academic institutions. especially for private institutions. According to a survey by Moody (http://www.marquette.edu/budget/ ... kNegativein2013.pdf), about 80% operating revenue of private universities is from tuition fee. US academic institutions need that money for supporting school facilities, PhD students and faculties. If the OPT extension were gone, the attraction for international students would be weaken, which means US Universities would lose a lot of revenues.

Also, F-1 students, including those in OPT, need to live in US. That means they make great financial contribution to housing, cater, transportation, and so on. As a F-1 Master student of Columbia University, I rent an apartment in Upper Manhattan. And I know that most apartment buildings in 10 blocks nearby has international student as tenants. Just imagine those landlords feeling when they found that rent became less and less, because fewer students came to US and the renting time per person were shortened as a result of OPT extension cancellation. And the same thing would happen to local restaurant owners taxi drivers, and airline companies - they would lose money if fewer international students stays in US and the average staying time become shorter.

In a word, international students made great  financial contributions to the US and they should be encourage to stay in the US longer according to the new DHS rule.

We should support the OPT extension. The STEM-related industries are the major forces that keep America strong in this competitive world. Hiring the elite educated and trained from our advanced education systems is the most important reason why the US beats every other country in tech. Without the top talents in STEM industry, America will lose its position in science/technology for sure.
