Yay!! Participation trophies for all our American snowflakes, who can only win when their competition is locked out. |

Is this true? Or did he just keep the visas at the same level? |

| I thought MAGA hated post-HS education because it makes you gay and woke. Why do they even care if foreign students go to colleges they hate? |

Need to shut down certain majors that are not popular or are unprofitable at small and mid-size schools. Not every college or university needs one of each of these majors. |

Or we could have foreign students pay tuition and not shut down those majors. Which is more important? Educational opportunities for Americans or your xenophobia? |

MAGA: Xenophobia (if we knew that word) Look at how many are suffering under him who voted for him but still trust that "he just needs a little more time." |

| So now, because of Trump’s stupidity, the US can become like most other countries, whose universities attract only their own citizens. Based on their reputations, would you send your child to the University of Havana, the University of Warsaw, or New Uzbekistan University? Soon the truly smart international students (and the rich international students) will no longer come here. They’ll instead head to Peking University, Oxford or Cambridge, McGill or the University of Toronto, the Sorbonne, or India’s Institutes of Technology. And they’ll stay in those countries. We won’t have immigrants like Sergei Brin, Madeleine Albright, Nikola Tesla, Andrew Carnegie, Yo Yo Ma, or Albert Einstein. They’ll go elsewhere. |

+1 Our Second Lady's parents are immigrants, as is our FLOTUS, as was POTUS' mother. Oh, nvm, Trump's mother was uneducated, and FLOTUS came on an H 1B herself. They made America great again, right? |

To be clear, ag payments (commodities, not just soybeans) are predicated on acres actually planted in 2025. Farmers must certify their acreage each year during the growing season. USDA uses, among other things, aerial imagery and spot checks to confirm acreage reports. There are zero programs that pay farmers to "do nothing." Even conservation reserve programs have requirements: for a small (9 acre) parcel enrolled in a particular program I had to provide seedbed preparation, seed, and seeding itself to plant native grasses. There was a 50% cost share (with a cap) the government paid and mid-contract mowing to control weeds is also required. The native grasses are much more effective than crops or just cover crops at controlling erosion (500 million tons topsoil saved annually) and also sequesters more carbon. |

+1. Unless you’re a Native American, someone in you family was “desperate” enough to make that journey to the USA too. |

| There was an Indian-American woman (physician) I saw on a debate panel (never Trump Republicans vs MAGA) who was one of the most vociferous supporters of Trump immigration policies. There was also an Iranian-American woman (based on utter lack of accent she must have grown up in the US, but she came by way of illegal immigration to Pakistan first) who was also super MAGA. Is this the pull up the ladder phenomenon? |

white people in this country have done this since the 1800s. The English didn't want the Irish, the Irish didn't want the Italians, the Italians didn't want the Germans, and the list goes on. And no white person wanted Asians. |

It is not. We will be mad when all of the innovation is happening elsewhere because no one to come here. |
