I loved the salmon analogy.
I hope that the spirit of cooperation continues because the direction he laid out tonight is the most moderate and reasonable stuff I've heard from our government in years and years.
In my day, living in the international dorm at my university, every foreign student was there in hopes of staying here and most did, whether legally or illegally. This is also my experience when we attempt to hire statisticians, particularly, in my department. My department is not willing to sponsor people and we toss most of the resumes we get because they are from students who are going to graduate soon and are looking for sponsorship so that they can stay. It may vary by type of degree or the country they are from.
ETA: Promised myself I'd be in bed early but I'm dying to hear the tea party response.
