Would it not be better to accept as many foreign students as want to come,
but charge them?  (If it costs K dollars to admit a foreign student, and
N foreign students can be afforded, then by charging K/2 dollars to each
student, 2N foreign students could be afforded.)  Better still, why not
come to reciprocal arrangements with various foreign countries?  Or some
sort of scholarship system could be worked out whereby a foreign student
could be accomodated at a tax-supported instititued if s/he agreed to work
a certain number of years in the USA.  How much does it cost to have a
foreign student at a state university?
