I don't know why the standards of admission are so high that very
qualified US students can't find a seat in our universities while
we bring in 1000s of foreign students every year.
Huh? Where's the evidence of that?
I think the standards of admission are too strict.
I don't. If you can't get into a UC school, there are the CSU schools.
Fine places, in general.
Strict standards for staying in are fine,
Which is actually what I meant. Sorry for being unclear.
but the admissions
process for UC schools is completely f'd up.

The idea that its a bad thing for 14.4% to qualify is IMO
ridiculous.
Why?
