Why don't we use our education system to produce this high tech work force instead of throwing our young people on the scrap heap of the gig economy ?
It's "cheaper" to import than to raise our own.
To the financial managers, it make perfect sense.
You get more money from international students. So you reduce places for the locals at the higher education. That's a few coins there.
Then you let those international students who studied here - with their own dole; or you permit those who studied and raised elsewhere - at their own dole too... lure them in and kar-ching, money in the bank.
The locals can, I don't know... it's all the same on a spread sheet anyway.
