Yet not one of you idiots can tell us exactly where you mean taxpayer money is being spent, despite being asked. If you can point that out, others may agree with you. But you don't. Because you can't.

So, you: fail.

It is shocking in a forum about higher education that you wouldn't do the basic amount of research. Here's an earlier article from Harvard crying about the potential drop in Federal funding due to Trump:

I hope you don't follow up by asking for proof that Federal Funds come from taxpayers. If your kids get admitted to a good school, you likely had no contribution to that achievement.

Above comes from the Harvard Crimson article but

Why do we let students into the US that don't like us?
It seems there are plenty of international students
that like us and want to study in the US.

It looks like there was problematic material on the
student's phone.

I have plenty of Facebook friends who post political points of view that I don’t agree with. Don’t you? Or have they all unfriended you? He didn’t post any of it or like any of the posts.

Right, but neither the two of you are applying for a student visa from a location that is known to be a hotbed of activities that are hostile to US and our allies. Imagine your kid wants to have a sleepover with a friend from school, he is from a part of the neighborhood with a lot of drug use and domestic violence - lets say a trailer park. Are you going to have second thoughts about that kid coming over to sleep in your house? How many of you are going to sit down with your child and say "I don't want you hanging out with him". Is this fair to that kid from the trailer park? Life is not fair.

I'd be more concerned if I saw them wearing a MAGA hat, today's equivalent of a white hood.

I'd rather see that Harvard slot go to another hard working
American kid. I work with a lot of lower income students
on the Rio Grande border of the US. There are a lot
of smart low income kids in the US that would like to go to
Harvard.
