我写了大概400字的反对那些不支持的人的观点 (http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-147590-1-1.html)

I support this rule. I write this comment to dispute some points/opinions from some comments, which do not support this rule.

Point: "The OPT program runs contrary to the purpose of non-immigrant student visas"
Why I disagree: OPT program has a clear limit on the maximal amount of time, which students can take to work. This limitation is for the purpose of non-immigrant. After the final date, that's another story, which is not related to the purpose of this rule.

Point: "Industry has no expertise to establish mentoring program"
Why I disagree: the commentator made a strong point without giving supporting evidence or data. The reality is contrary to his/her point. For instance, Facebook and LinkedIn launched mentoring programs for women in Tech (source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/06/facebook-linkedin-women-in-tech_n_6631582.html).

Point: "The new protections for American workers are useless."
Why I disagree: US is a world of capitalism. It is a fact that companies need to pay more to hire an equivalently skilled international student rather than an American student. Companies are not charity organizations, so they hire international students, simply because of the shortage in working force.  

Point: "The allowance of unemployment on OPT is inconsistent with education and protections for U.S. workers"
Why I disagree: Students are not working robots. Students don't go straight to work at the first day after graduation. Where is the period of time for those young minds to celebrate and prepare for the real life?

Point: "DHS cannot justify the increased duration of OPT." & "The average time a new graduate stays at a first job is only 18 months. A three-year term for OPT is excessive. "
Why I disagree: The duration of OPT has never been said to be only applied for the first job. The commentator gave the evidence/data, which are not related to this rule.

Point: "The proposed rule creates national security issues."
Why I disagree: The purpose of the rule is make US more attractive to the talents around the world. Even though student can be allowed as non-employment for a limited period of time, they still need to submit their living address for being tracked during this period.

Point: "The propose rule will discourage Americans to study in technology fields."
Why I disagree: This rule deals with what happens after completing the studying in college. This rule does not do anything to students before they enter the college. Another example is that a friend of mine (an international college student) worked as Teaching Assistance in a high school level summer camp to help American students learn technology and science and also encourage them to continue studying after they get to college.

"I think passing this proposal is necessary for America to remain its position as the innovative lead of the world. America is currently the innovative drive in the world. Many top enterprises were created in the country and great products were built here, from social networks connecting people to rental car service making use of vacant resources, from seeking alternative energy solutions for the mankind to researching the possibility to explore further in the universe. In order for this business and visions to continuing their momentum in this country, to continue paying large amount of tax, to continue contributing to the GDP growth, it needs the talents to build these products and to imagine the future. Companies and organizations in STEM field is in a great shortage of those talents. Jonathan Rothwell from Brookings Institution published his research in 2014 about the severe shortage in the STEM field in US . He stated in his report, "There are some 40,000 computer science bachelor’s degree earners each year but roughly 4 million job vacancies for computer workers. In all, the median duration of advertising for STEM vacancies is more than twice that of those in other fields." American STEM professionals and international STEM professionals are all needed in these fields. International students are the ones filling the gap of the shortage of the talents. If the STEM international students cannot get this extension of 24 months of OPT, they won't be able contribute what they learnt to create value for the US society, nor can they make up for the gap of the talent shortages. If being the innovative in STEM field doesn't matter to US any more, the answer is very easy -- not giving the OPT extension to this group of capable people which are big supplements of the workforce. If it still matters, it is really necessary to pass this proposal."
