Foreign Students Help Make America Great
The competition for economic supremacy between the U.S. and China is compounded by the view that American trade policy is unbalanced. This has led to some confusion—and perhaps some forgetfulness—about the value of international students to U.S. dominance.
President Trump has often expressed support for international students, most recently saying that he has 'always been in favor of students coming in from other countries.' His administration, however, is serving up policy that could restrict the entry of talented immigrants who would become catalysts for American innovation.
