      there’s also a fair number of students and graduates from certain countries or related to certain peoples that he might want to help in exchange for who-knows-what.

          OK, I just didn’t hear the times he said he opposed them. I do remember him saying we should increase them, since at the time I thought that was a good idea (not sure anymore, since they can so easily be used to just bring in lower paid people instead of how they are intended).
