She was forced to quit her job, because she was here on a student visa, and apparently like Australia, one can be provisionally admitted to the US either as a student or as a worker, but not both. At the time I chalked it up to typical bureaucratic stupidity. It didn't occur to me until I read this article that it might be an example of systematic looting of foreign students by rent-seekers in collaboration with immigration thugs. -OL A couple of years ago there was a young Brasilian woman who worked during the day for my employer, while she attended classes at night.
