Helen Andrews at the American Economic Forum in 2022 discusses fraud and cheating by immigrants, particularly from China and India which have very different versions of ethics from Westerners. The relevant portion begins at about the 4 minute mark.
As she explains, the cheating helps them get into universities and helps them excel once they are in. From there, they take their cheating and fraud into the corporate world. Worse than just the cheating, though, is how it not only drives out American students who don't cheat, but discourages them from pursuing difficult subjects, fooling them into thinking they are not smart enough. But even if you know they are cheating, it is still discouraging. I remember taking a calculus class in college where there were two Chinese students that would talk with one another all through tests in Chinese, of course. We all knew that they weren't discussing the weather, but the professor did nothing about it. How can you compete against that?
But as Andrews explains in the video, professors have their hands tied because if they do something about cheating, they face accusations of racism from the cheaters!
We need to severely restrict international students. If that means that universities either start recruiting in the heartland or go under, so be it.
