If it was Michelle Bachmann's response it was pre-recorded so I wouldn't bother. Also it doesn't seem like much of a response that way. Unless they changed their mind about that.

Wonder if this is a bit of a chicken or the egg thing. If the only realistic way to stay here is often to marry a citizen or be in a VERY specialized field (or get hired by an employer willing to jump a lot of hoops) then most people probably don't plan on staying in the first place so the people who do come aren't those who would like to stay. Perhaps.
Anecdotal evidence time: my big's husband stayed in the country following his graduation and has continued to work on his green card. So it clearly does happen both ways, I'd be curious about the numbers.
