Topic	Senator suggests restricting Chinese students from studying science/tech in US
Coastal_elite 04/30/20 10:37:55 AM #58:	I knew it was going to be Cotton before I even clicked on the topic. Guys, you have to stop seeing what Cotton does in a vacuum. He couldn't care less about the science stuff (which does happen, China does send its guys here to learn our tech). He is oddly fixated in immigration. He is simply anti-immigrant. 1) At some point he sponsored TWICE an act called "the RAISE act", and raise was an allusion to race, as in racial. It would end LEGAL immigration as we know it, and implement a points system instead. What's so bad about that? Australia and Canada do it, right? Hold your horses. AU and CA do have it. But it doesn't substitute family-based immigration, and that's issue # 1. Also, if you read into the points system you will notice it was designed to bring native English speakers from predominantly white countries over anyone else: points would be awarded for age, education and English language. The issue is that the system was designed to award more points to someone for being a NATIVE English speaker than for having a PHD in a STEM field or being the guy who fucking discovered the SARS vaccine. Then, your education points would be offset by your age points: you start getting penalized for age by the time you're old enough to get your PHD. The result of the system is that a British or Australian janitor or garbage collector would get MORE POINTS than a brown or asian PHD scientist if the janitor or garbage guy are aged between 18 and 28. 2) Cotton was one of the loudest cheerleaders for BUILD DA WALL!!! and one of the loudest defenders of "yes, they ARE rapist and criminals" 3) He was one of the loudest defenders of the kids in cages policy. 4) Now he's talking about banning all chinese from student visas for tech degrees altogether? Don't you see it? He is overly fixated on immigration. You will never see him criticize russia or russian birth tourism, though, I wonder why? BTW his state is known for having a large number of underground supremacist organizations.... surprise surprise? <cite>Coastal_elite posted [p:938362941] in Senator su...
