Unit 5 Canada – “The True North”
***阅读理解。
李显文Recently，I had lunch with a young Chine student who studies at a college in New York.He is very bright and aspiring and I enjoyed our conversation.Still I felt frustrated and uless afterwards becau I was not able to provide him with any good news.Graduating at the end of this year，he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.
In recent years，students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their H1B working visa.And the success rates have been declining year after year becau of the ever growing number of applicants.Last year，there were 233 000 applicants，and only 30 percent of them were lucky，less than half of the rate in 2013.
And it can only become wor.US President Donald Trump's immigration policies in this co
untry are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years.In this ca，foreign students studying social sciences，a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount，can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.
Compared to the older generation of Chine students，today's young people no longer consider the US as the only option.Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.
This is not to say that Chine students in the US are not interested in job opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them leverage when they finally land back in their home country.But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy，I expect there will be a decline.And if that happens，it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of tho educated，hardworking and talented immigrants.
