I've heard that it's easier for international students to get into american universities, because they pay more (if it's public) and they usually don't need/get any financial help from the school. Is that true?

yes. And because they add diversity, and international perspectives.

well the schools are always going to accept some foreign students, so if the accept some sheik's kid who is throwing miilions of dollars at the school as well as paying higher tuitions full in cash, then yeah. Same as its easier for elite kids from extremely weathy familys to get in even if they are idiots. Anyone who thinks that all kids trying to get into college are on a level playing field is just not in the KNOW.

If you specialize in engineering technology, your in luck. There is little to no discrimination when it comes to genius: however, I have no idea how smart you are. In particular look to UC Berkely and Caltech. However, schools like Stanford will require more rounded schools that extra curricular activities that many International students do no realize.

no and yes most universities take on international students to meet quotas set in advanced.

international students do add diversity but also come with requirements which if not met sends them back, and that's harsh. lol :)

No they still have to meet the requirements,
They actually have a harder time cause of language barrier
