I don't see that a state funded school should be allowed by the taxpayers of that state to promote the hiring of foreign people over US citizens either...that's not what my tax dollars should be going for...
State funded colleges and universities have a different tuition amount for international students--where I went it was double that of resident tuition. In addition, international students don't qualify for most scholarships and financial aid. Colleges and universities lobby for less restrictive immigration laws for international students because they are a good source of revenue. I am not sure about F-1, but H-1 workers pay both social security and medicare/medicaid taxes without any promise of benefiting from them eventually.
