From what I've heard, ASU had 0 American citizens begin a graduate
program in Computer Science in the fall of 2007. (I wanted to make it
1, but the GRE math protion thought otherwise).  It seems to me that
the specific case for lifting quotas for foreign graduate students
will help bolster the *existance* of graduate and even undergraduate
computer science education in Arizona, which would, without foreign
students, probably atrophy itself out of existance for lack of
popularity and tuition revenue.
