I strongly SUPPORT the proposal for the following reasons:

1. The government should let the students who learned knowledge from U.S. universities stay in the country and let them keep making contributions to the U.S..

2. Diversity is very important for the U.S., a lot famous man was international students in the U.S..

3. Competition does exist, but is not a bad thing. A lot of international students have high salary and their jobs do not fit the residents. Competition can help the U.S. have more talents and increase the average salary of all the persons, including local students and international students.

4. The U.S. need the freshmen.

5. The international students spend lots money in the U.S., and the expanding OPT is interesting to them.

It is great if this can be approved. This can attracts more excellent foreign students come to America to study. Also increases the possibility they may choose to work in America after graduation. A lot of foreign students are very competitive and they can contribute a lot to the economy of America as well.

Some people think foreign students stolen their work. It is not true! The majors of most foreign students who choose to stay in America to find a job are those majors which are not popular between American. Even it is popular, the need of the companies in this industry are still much bigger then those American students can provide. That's why a foreign students can find a job in America.

I always thinking that inclusive of America is the main reason that it can become a super power. Let more foreigner students come to America can help it grow and make it stronger.

As an employee working in silicon valley, I do job interviews every week and I do see the demand from STEM related job positions are so big that we don't have enough qualified domestic human resources. We need qualified and US-trained international STEM workers to the meet the need of the rapid industrial growth of the US. US citizens should also be encouraged to get STEM related education/training to be more competitive in job market, but foreign STEM students have very little impact to usual American workers at the moment as we are still short of workforce in STEM related industries. Therefore this new OPT program will do no harm but to help US economic growth. It will also encourage more US citizens to devote themselves into a promising high tech career.

大意是说我在硅谷公司工作，每周都要面试，感到现在STEM相关的人力资源需求仍然非常大，美国国内的资源不能够满足。我们需要引进合格的国际高科技员工来满足这一需求，来保持美国经济的增长。

美国公民也应当被鼓励去接收STEM相关的教育和训练，来增加在就业市场中的竞争力，同时也帮助美国的高技术行业和经济增长。所以现阶段OPT项目美国有利而无害，它对普通美国工人的影响也很小，因为这些工作岗位仍然缺少合格的员工。同时这也能激励美国人投身前景良好的高科技行业。

大概谈到三点:

• 人才对于美国发展的意义
• 留学生群体对于美国经济的提振
• 留学生不会对美国本土就业者的就业机会造成威胁
  

以后必须一天一刷啦！

I strongly AGREE with the proposal for 24 month-extension of STEM OPT for the following reasons:
Firstly, an important reason is the attraction of international students. I am an international student at a university of the U.S. According to my observation, over half of the students majoring STEM are international. Just like me, many of those students are attracted by the original OPT extension policy. My university is located at a small town of the Northeast. However, this small town is becoming more prosperous than any other towns nearby. One crucial reason is the growing number of international students in this town. The housing, the food, the retailing commerce has been growing fast in this town because we those international students are the major customers. It is predicable that once the STEM opt extension has been cancelled, most of the U.S universities will see has tremendous decrease in international students since the policy will be no more attractive than those of Canada, UK, Australia, or any other nations with high quality education. It is common that the families of international students invest a lot of money on their education. Many of the families buy cars or even houses for their children just in order to create an good learning environment. That's really a large amount of investigation. It is obvious that the investment will dramatically decrease if opt extension does not exist anymore.
Secondly, it is true that many international student’s majoring in STEM find job in the U.S., but there are still a large portion of students who cannot find job in the U.S. Employers are smart enough to hiring only the qualitied person. Therefore, even the OPT is extended, those international students who are not strong enough still cannot get hired, which does not create any threat to the U.S. citizens. On the other hand, if the OPT is not extended, Most of the U.S. citizens who are not strong enough still cannot get hired by those technology companies due to their hiring standard. Therefore, the OPT extension does not hurt the benefits of the U.S. residents/citizens.
Thirdly, the core reason why U.S. is the top nation around the world is that U.S. attracts talents all around the world. Most of the technology companies highly treasure talented scientists, engineers and mathematicians as they are the fresh blood of the companies. If the OPT extension is cancelled, it is certainly that U.S will lose a quite large amount of talents.
Therefore, I strongly AGREE with the proposal for 24 month-extension of STEM OPT.

I strongly support the new OPT extension, and I really want to clarify some common misunderstanding that STEM students gets lower pay to steal jobs from domestic workers that I frequent saw in a lot of negative comments:

OPT and OPT extension are DIFFERENT from H1B in OPT and OPT extension are only offered to students certificated with degree of college or graduate school from well established universities, which is unlike H1B which can be applied and given to anyone. This is very important, because it implies these STEM students are either very talented who usually came to U.S with a merit-based full ride scholarship or have good financial support from their family in that they are able to afford their tuition which is roughly around 25k ~ 50k dollars every year. (As a side note, tuition for international students are usually 3-4X higher than domestic students especially for public universities, and international students are NOT eligible for student loans from banking). Actually in most cases, they are BOTH very talented and with good financial family background.

So please don't confuse international STEM students with somebody suffering a poor life back in their hometown and therefore have no other choice but to came to U.S and be willing to take whatever they are given just to stay. STEM students don't come to U.S for survival, instead they came for widening their eyesight, meeting potential "business partner", and challenging themselves with the best (and also the most expensive) education world can offer. They see U.S an exciting stage where they are learn from world-class professors, work for world-class companies, and meet with world-class successful people. And please remember this is not because U.S is just granted with most talented people but because it is country capable to ATTRACT those talented people from all over the world. After STEM students graduate, as I have indicated before, they usually get employed (and work for like 10 hours a day...) for those most big names in Wall Street and Silicon Valley who offers great salaries much HIGHER than the U.S average salaries, or sometimes they even start their own companies which can only produce more employment opportunities for U.S or they don't even bother to find a job (not mentioning a low paid job...) because of their family abundance.

Without OPT and OPT extension, many of these STEM students who currently under employment will be forced to get out of the country, for which I personally could not see anything but a great loss. Many big companies will need to waste a HUGE amount of money and time to rehire for those empty positions after they left given the assumption that they might be finally able to find someone else qualified (as an other side note, companies usually need to interview dozens to hundreds of applicants before they find someone qualified and be willing to take the job at the same time). With burden as heavy as that, I seriously suspect whether some start ups will just go bankrupt right away. Also, with the message of OPT extension being revoked spread out, I would imagine much fewer students would like to come to U.S for education, for which I just could see a bigger damage to U.S universities than to those STEM students. Some STEM students reject equivalent juicy offer from also prestigious universities from say Japan and UK just because they have the "American Dream". Many STEM students, if not come to U.S, will also have not bad employment somewhere else (but of course U.S still able to offer better and that's why they chose U.S). However on the other hand don't forget that U.S universities are earning 3-4X higher tuition from international students than from domestics equivalence, and for many years especially during the economy regression from 2008 to 2013, international students have been contributing a huge revenue for many U.S universities for which many domestic families cannot afford.

At the other hand regarding H1B, yes they are current some problems with it that some (mostly Indian) outsourcing companies are abusing the system to smuggle their native workers to U.S and stealing jobs away by cheaper salaries. I really don't want to blame those smuggled workers as by common sense, no one would like to leave their hometown just to take lower-than-average salaries unless they really have no other better options. However as the most important stand point I have been restating over and over, I really want people to separate them out from OPT/OPT extension program, as the nature of OPT and OPT extension will guarantee that the problem of current H1B system will never be applicable to OPT program.
