Seems that Trump's shitty policies are going to greatly reduce the number of international students enrolled in US colleges this fall.

A new analysis from NAFSA and the research consultancy JB International projects that international
student commencements in the US could decline by as much as -30% or -40% for the key fall intake
this September.


That would in turn reduce international student numbers in the US by -15% for the 2025/26 academic
year, equivalent to the loss of 150,000 students compared to the year before. The NAFSA/JBI analysis
estimates the economic impact of that reduction at US$7 billion with more than 60,000 jobs affected
across the United States. This would, says NAFSA CEO Fanta Aw, be "one the most significant drops in
international enrolment in recent times."

“The immediate economic losses projected here are just the tip of the iceberg," she added. "International
students drive innovation, advance America’s global competitiveness, and create research and academic
opportunities in our local colleges that will benefit our country for generations. For the United States to
succeed in the global economy, we must keep our doors open to students from around the world.”

Local economies. Each international student contributes ~$29k/year to the local economies. At 15% reduction, that is a loss of ~$4B to local economies.

Colleges. Just a 15% drop in international enrollment would bring in $4-5B less. This would result in either program cuts or raised tuition for all other students.

Foreign students who come to this country and violently protest the country, who occupy college campuses and disrupt the educational purpose of the university need to be arrested, tried and either locked up or kicked out. If locked up they need to be kicked out after their incarceration. I have no tolerance for foreign students causing problems here.

When I went to the commencement for my masters in May, the class was VERY international and I was half expecting ICE to show up.

So who said any of this had anything to do with "Foreign students who come to this country and violently protest the country"?

And that has what to do with this thread?

Sad how you feel showing your hatred of others for 'reasons' affects your thinking. However, spoken like a true republican who hates everyone but their own.

America is going to have to learn to respect others but America has such an insipid entitled culture we may never break it.
