You just need to understand how to talk to them:

We bring the foreigners in, give them a first class AMERICAN education and then send them back into the world. They now are effectively a double-agent, preferring to deal with Americans in business, promote American superiority in the world by telling everyone what a badass they are for getting into Harvard, and have been indoctrinated on American values which they then seed into whatever population they are returning to. This is one of America’s effective long term methods of world domination in action and it would be stupid to halt it.

And then make up some fake examples of it paying off big time.

For just $1 billion down payment, I will build it in 2 years for half of that. I pinky promise.
