[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t believe it will change. Student visa holders face scrutiny now depending on what country they’re traveling from. I know we’re not supposed to say that because Biden but it’s already a concern. I work at a public university and we see this. It’s also not a surprise to us when they get stopped and we advise them accordingly.[/quote]

Why is that a problem?[/quote]

It’s not a problem. The point is that people are already stopped and sometimes temporarily detained or denied re-entry under the current administration. It happens every semester or break. It is unlikely that this pattern will change or worsen under the next administration. I think people are largely unaware of how often it happens now and will think that any reports of this next year are novel occurrences.[/quote]

But a LOT of people were barred/delayed entry starting in late January 2017. More so than before. And I used to work in a offshoot of this for a living. [/quote]

Right. I’m not defending that action but it initially impacted the citizens of seven countries that had been identified as countries of concern. Even now, we can barely clear citizens of those countries to study anything but the most fluffy liberal arts curriculum. If we can clear them at all. [/quote]
