I might have misunderstood you here. But i fail to see your point?

The J-1 visa has a pretty big restrictions on labour rights for non-citizens. Were talking deleting a labour possibility.
"us" european´s comes here spending a lot of money in US = good for US

Hurray no more europeans stealing cfi work, well sure but aren´t you bleeding off the market, so who is everybody going to teach when the flight school industri takes a dive?

But you´r right in that I do not have a saying in how americans should run their country neither do i claim to, im just glad for the opportunity i have over here.
My passion is flying, and my concern is the effect on that industry.
Sure it can move somewhere else as mentioned South Africa, NZ, Aus.
But it takes a long time to get it up and running before a another area can provide the possibilities for other people looking to start a career as pilots.

Well just my 5cent.
