It would be akin to admitting German grad students in Physics in 1935. At some point Americans will need to realize that realpolitik dictates you don’t educate your enemy at scale as a policy matter, lest we discover the hard way how this will go wrong.

Best to drop all international students then, because it seems that America considers all other nations as its enemy.

The metaphor might make more sense with US in the role that was invading on pretexts to try to recover the self image of a strange looking leader.

Umm. The best physics work in the world was being done by European academics and admitting them then and earlier was perhaps the best thing that happened both for American science & tech as well as the ability to wage war.

What? In fact, we did make it difficult for "German grad students in Physics" to immigrate here [1].
Fortunately for us -- very fortunately -- we found a way to accommodate them and keep them on our side.
