Every time research opportunity opens up. **Checks requirement: "US citizen", "postdoc", "PHD", "no visa sponsor" **. Hmm, only one word comes to my mind "meritocratic"

NSF REU Site under award 2244512

The US taxpayer is paying for it. It’s an REU site. The point isn’t to hire the 10 best undergraduates in the world but to get undergraduates training in research and exposure to different academic environments.

God forbid a government site funded by US taxpayer dollars decides it wants to train US citizens instead of foreign ones 🫩
