Trump is driving some of the world's brightest foreign students out of America
https://www.google.com/amp/www.vox.com/platform/amp/world/2017/1/31/14453566/trump-muslim-immigration-ban-foreign-university-students?client=safari
In September 2016, when the possibility of a Trump presidency still seemed remote, Aya Aljamili, a Syrian citizen who grew up in Aleppo, arrived in the United States to get her master’s degree at American University in Washington, DC. She spent most of the fall on her computer, refreshing Facebook, hoping to hear from friends and family left behind in the war zone.

Foreign students are good for our educational system. They pay higher tuitions than do US citizens. It's ok if they return to their country to work but if they choose to stay then the compete with US citizens for jobs. Let hem study but do not let them stay beyond graduation.

I do know for certain that some foreign students get loans here in the states, complete their education and return to the homeland and never pay back the loans. Not sure how big a problem it is, but it makes you wonder how they are payin for higher education in the USA.
Higher ed, text books, puters and livin expenses an such??? That ain't cheap!!!

Don't look now...You are also paying for most of the foreign students, while taking school vacancies away from Americans...............

It is stories like this that show just how far we've strayed from America's melting pot roots and just how much connection we've lost with the traditions that made us a great nation. It wasn't that long ago that both parties completely accepted the ancient American principle that attracting the best, the brightest and the hardest-working from abroad enriched the nation. It is, in fact, largely how we built the nation in the first place. Now, people are no longer looking to us as a place to build a happy, secure life. There are better places than us in the world. The United States is breaking from the thing that gave it its vitality and traveling the route so many civilizations in decline have trod before - nativism, the belief that we have nothing to learn and nothing to gain from outsiders and that the world ends at the country's frontier. In the end, it always leads to ossification and failure but it is more a symptom than a disease.

Education reform and more local control of schools will bring a bonanza of more brilliant american students and make more foreign students unnecessary.

Fashy, they were wrong then and they were dumped. They are wrong now and they will be dumped again. So says the historically ignorant. The current era of mass immigration must come to an end and it will.

A nation that ceases to control who can join us, ceases to be a nation...It becomes a dumping ground for any trash that wants our social benefits....The entire third world wants to come to America....Some may be good people; others are primitive goat rapists, banditos, opium smokers, and cannibals......

The exact same arguments were used a hindred years ago to keep Italians out. https://apps.bostonglobe.com/magazine/graphics/2017/01/immigration/ A hundred fifty years go Catholics were not welcome in America by many, a hundred years ago it was the Italians and Germans, now it's Muslims unless they're from prosperous nations.
