From the opening statements, Congress allocates about $3 billion to STEM education already.
You are right, Kamen specifically didn't ask for more visas. Instead, he asked that the visa fees, at least in part, be directed to his program, FIRST. TL;DR: Give me money.
Partovi barely mentions visas, but also wants part of the fees to go to a new STEM education fund and wants changes to E-Rate (internet/telecomm to school libraries). He's got his fingers in a lot of pies, so skeptically I'm assuming one of them would benefit from unspecified E-Rate "changes".
Jona, a prof at Northwestern, basically wants more scientists to be involved in teaching STEM. No visa mention.
Cornwall, an ME, writes like an ME and doesn't mention visas; instead focuses on education.
So, yes, there's a lot of spin in the headline. Because headline.

I have just suffered personally from this, I was in Bangalore two days ago where I got serious food poisoning from a McDonalds
While one might argue that any food from McDonald's is poison, I'll be especially careful to avoid those restaurants in Maine. Who knew the northeast was such a pit?
