"They’re far outpacing Americans".

I don't doubt that is true. But it begs the question. Should American colleges be kicking American students to the curb in favor of accepting foriegn students?
Anyone with children and/or grandchildren knows that children must be challenged and if everything is given to them that many of them will simply choose not to rise to the challenge. I doubt that America lacks enough geniuses to fill our colleges. I doubt that our geniuses are incapable or simply not intelligent enough to excel. I don't doubt that many Asians are hungrier for a chance in an American college but is that reason enough to reject qualified American students in favor of qualified Asian students?
Perhaps the question is what is the mission of American colleges? Is their mission to educate Americans or is it to educate Asians and other non-Americans? In my opinion all American colleges which accept any taxpayer money (to include any tax exemptions) at all should be required to accept any and all qualified American students before they can accept any foriegn students.
