The whole international student thing with them is incredibly frustrating. It's practically a scam the US is pulling on the rest of the world, and somehow it's "winning" by ending it. We get the top students from other countries to come here and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each in money from their own country. American students get a discount on their tuition paid for by international students overpaying. Now, Americans will be out of jobs and have a harder time getting a college degree.

For PhDs it's a bit different, but we still could get the top students from the rest of the world to come here to contribute to our research projects (and most of the stipend they're paid is directly injected in the local economy anyways!).
