Trump DOJ Backs Down On Cancelling International Student Visas: 1,500 Will Be Restored

[Anonymous]

After being sued by individual international students whose visas were terminated and facing a class action suit from a group of others, the administration once again caved in and backtracked on an issue that were on the wrong side of.

The Trump administration said on Friday that it is restoring the previously terminated legal statuses of hundreds of foreign students in the United States while it develops a new policy that will provide a framework for potentially ending them in the future. The decision was announced during a court hearing before a federal judge in Boston who is presiding over a challenge by one of the many international students across the country who is suing over actions the administration took against them as part of Republican President Donald Trump's hardline crackdown on immigration.

I’d say that Don will be mad but I doubt that he knows. He lives in whatever reality is presented to him by the person next to him. He thinks that he’s winning.

Those US students can attend any college they apply to and are admitted into. I’m not sure I follow the logic of them taking away US seats.

Foreign students are full pay and help support universities while American students often receive financial assistance. Foreign students aren't taking spots, they are actually making spots for American students.

There's room for both.

Stephen Miller--the real president--hates brown people and foreigners.

Wrong, there are more than quadruple full pay Americans seeking entry , no need to allow these people when the acceptance rate and full pay is so high. America first.

Restoring SEVIS status is different than restoring revoked visas. It sounds like they're only restoring SEVIS status, not the revoked visas. Which makes sense because it's State that deals with visas, not ICE.

At the end of the article- "U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin in a statement said the agency, which oversees ICE, did not reverse course on visa revocations but restored SEVIS access "for people who had not had their visa revoked.""

University education is a big and important export for the US. Many (most?) of the international students don't go to selective schools. And whatever college/univ they are at, they contribute to the leaning environment. Maybe you've never met an international person, but they bring different knowledge and perspective to all sorts of subject. If you don't understand that, I suspect you don't know what being "educated" actually entails.

If Trump did nothing else to mess up everyone's lives except this as his legacy, it would be alone devastating to the US on so many fronts.

It would impact the vitality of higher ed esp at the top schools, our rep globally as a place of opportunity for knowledge and opportunity as well as the pride of being a leader in the world. Make no mistake how much value international students are to the health of US from a cultural and economic perspective.

Those who don't understand and appreciate this are either idiots are just totally uneducated. There's no way we keep our rep globally without continuing leading the way on higher ed front. We have already lost on K-12 front!

Admittance into top colleges is a zero sum game. Every slot taken by a foreign student is one that could have gone to a US citizen.

Exporting education is stupid though. Don't train your competition. Why do they want us to compete with them if it isn't a zero sum game. Oh we're supposed to bring them here then compete with them.

No one wants to take an engineering course with a bunch of foreigners, they do not contribute to the educational experience. If I wanted to take a course where ethnicity was import I would take a foreign language or something. Why do they make engineers and computer scientists train with foreigners. What about tech has anything to do with tech. All the Indian and Chinese grad students cliqued with each other and wouldn't say two words to anyone else.
