During his campaign, President Donald Trump devised a creative concept to attract the best minds to America: if elected, he would provide green cards to all international students who graduate from US universities. Trump stated in a June podcast interview that “it’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, and from the greatest schools. “That will stop on the first day.
That promise was never fulfilled. Trump’s position on accepting international students has undergone a significant change. As his government combines a crackdown on immigration with an attempt to transform higher education, international students have found themselves at the centre of an increasingly intense push to expel them or prevent them from entering.
International students say they feel singled out on several levels due to the Trump administration’s avalanche of policies, which include banning foreign enrolment at Harvard, stopping all new student visa interviews, and ending students’ ability to study in the US. These actions have led to lawsuits and countersuits.
Students from all around the world talked about their experiences as international students in America today. Their stories reveal widespread emotions of dread, worry, and insecurity that have caused them to become more watchful in their day-to-day activities, divert their attention from their academic work, and drive many of them to postpone vacations home out of concern that they won’t be permitted to return.
