International student rights are workers’ rights

There is a perpetual lack of support for international students at the University. Since we do not receive a W-2, many of us cannot receive a Social Security Number, thus restricting our ability to rent an apartment, secure a credit card, or get a driver's license. We also do not receive sufficient assistance and support for complex tax filing requirements or reimbursement for immigration fees.
