and then the same corporations import the graduates to the U.S. to work for them. So the corporations turned a profit by the student paying for the education, and then turned a profit again by hiring them. Now if the same corporation can turn a profit by birthing and raising the child and then burying the adult.

That almost sounds like the economic method of slavery in the south.

The students pay to get an education. Generally but especially with low quality privatized education, there is no guarantee they will ever find a job. Plus they will be in debt.

India previously (before they joined the WTO) had a Constitutional right to education, but it was deemed incompatible with GATS.
