Incoming Harvard Freshman Deported After Visa Revoked

Anonymous
Hope the kid gets a spot at a top school in the UK or Canada.

People should stay away from Trumpland. This is all so unnecessary, putting that kid through all this trauma.

Let Americans deal with the trump side effects.

The kid had a valid Visa and a scholarship, and no doubt is smarter than many who have posted responses to this thread. FFS. The ignorance and racism of some of these posts are just astounding.


And, even if the kid actually has foolish views: The ideal way to handle that is let him go to Harvard and expose him to many different kinds of students.

All sending him home teaches him is that the United States is fool of jerks.

+1. Seriously. More than 1 million overseas students come to the US every year to start studies. Universities like it because it shows the university to be a "world leader" but the situation has gotten absurd, with little SLACs like my own boasting about its huge international student body. All the colleges follow Harvard. Yes, Harvard, Yale, etc. are world-class universities but not all institutions in the U.S. but due to the ranking publications, ALL institutions now have to seek out student bodies that come from all 50 states and 83 countries, and that's just not right.


-1. Do you even know *why* they seek out and admit so many international students? It's money, genius. Most international students pay full tuition and fees IN FULL. Most American students DO NOT. The international students subsidize scholarship for Americans.

P.S. These are PRIVATE schools. They can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, don't go there! That is the end of your influence in the matter.


This is very true. They pay international tuition rates which are equal or higher than out of state fees.

Yes, even with a 40B endowment Harvard is still desperate for full-pay international students.

You people are so stupid.

Yes, don’t just rely on WIKI or DCUM for your daily news...



Yes, but look at the all the pages devoted here to unwarranted hysteria over a Harvard Crimson piece - some even calling this part of Trump's America. Come on, the customs agents were just doing their job and the student didn't have the correct paperwork and suspicious "hate America" stuff on his phone. Harvard will sort this out within a week if they still want the kid. There's no story here.[/quot.





Precisely my point!

+1 Harvard doesn’t NEED to charge tuition. That’s how massive their endowment is. They haven’t been tuition-driven in decades.

They sure look desperate to get govt grants for research, some $500M per year, according to the current lawsuit.

Yet another idiot who doesn’t understand what research grants are, how they are awarded, and what is given in return.

They don’t believe in science. Probably think it’s better to give to Liberty so we can all pray our problems away.

This was my thought as a former consular officer as well. What is the point of training and employing consular officers only to reverse their decisions?



I had the same thought.

+1 Excellent. No thanks to the idiot CBP officer that made a snap judgment based on biases that cost thousands of dollars.
