Why? Do they not have valid student visas?[/quote]

Are you really that ignorant?

Trump’s 2017 Muslim Ban trapped international students with valid visas outside the United States. They were not allowed to re-enter the U.S. until something like 12+ months later, completely derailing their education. [/quote]

"Valid visas" from failed states like Syria, Yemen, Libya and Somalia or known adversaries like Iran.  Yeah, I was OK with a re-vetting.[/quote]

Per usual, people criticizing immigration policies have no idea how they work. Visas to visit, study, work, whatever in the US are granted by the US government.  No one is getting a visa [i]from [/i]Syria to come study here. Any failure is our own system's fault, not the failed nation's. [/quote]

This is not true. In 2017 there were 17,000 students from the 7 countries banned. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/01/30/students-and-scholars-are-stranded-after-trump-bars-travel-nationals-7-countries[/quote]
