Deporting Foreign College Students Would Be Really Dumb

The Trump administration might even learn why if it just invited public comments on its latest threat.

1. What country will let them in? Even if they are not citizens, they are persona non grata from the US

2. Some of the top research groups at universities are staffed by international students

I worked at a research center at a top university and it was the foreign students in most of the leading edge research groups who led the way. They often worked extra hours and weekends while American students were playing beer pong. This country needs these students and many of them stay here to become leading researchers and professors that benefit our country in numerous ways.

4. I worked at a university also and can agree 100% with you.

Some of those students and/or professors on visas may end up being the one(s) who comes up with the life saving vaccine. I've met and gotten to know many of our university's professors/researchers, etc. and many of them had resumes with accomplishments that they racked up by the time they were 30 that could knock your socks off.

7. Great point

This is just shooting ourselves in the foot (what else would we expect from drumpf) because these people are often the ones coming up with vaccines as you say or the next biomedical technological advancement. Or they might be our doctor in a few years because we are so underserved in that regard in this country.

3. Is this another tactic to force schools open? Nt

5. Were they thinking since classes are online, than students no longer need to be in the country

to take them. ?

That is the only reason I can think of?

6. Of course it would be

But look at the idiot who wants it done.
