What's wrong with this, fundamentally? Foreign students are a huge cash cow for universities, not to mention the soft power/cultural influence advantages.

You don't think it's odd that China is being singled out when they're using every pretext to arrest and deport students of any other nationality?

All young men between the ages of 18 and 20, each of which will have a good solid military background. Seems legit.

Random Participation @nailclipping.bsky.social

What’s the problem? Those students aren’t taking placements from MAGA. I could understand if they were buying F-250s and driving up the cost for the knuckle draggers. Or is it just like how they’re so impacted by transgender swimmers?

But those uneducated idiots will vote for him and his ilk anyway... just like Maine's Collins, they are "concerned" but dumb enough to follow along no matter what the cost to themselves or to this country.

Well not really. China has a much better education system and the US needs to import intelligent students to major in science fields that American children are not equipped for. It stems from the lack of support to public schools

I'm sure China is ready to break it down for parts, just like it's doing with Russia. But trust? No, that's gone.

“I just don’t understand it for the life of me. Those are 600,000 spots that American kids won’t get,” host Laura Ingraham said. That’s right: the illiterate MAGA teens would be attending Stanford if not for foreigners taking their places. MAGA 🤡🤡🤡🤡

When will MAGA learn that Trump doesn’t care about them? Trump cares about one thing and one thing only - himself. Okay, two things - himself and money for himself.
