I'm surprised they could write this article in September 2025 and not mention international students once.

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!).

This is wrong. Many US colleges don’t get the “top students” from other countries but on the contrary get absolutely horrible students from other countries, but they pay more than mediocre-but-better American students. American students do not see any discount for it, savings are not passed to students. A majority of US universities are not top-tier Ivy League schools. It may be different for those schools and for PhD programs.
