They don’t have a leg to stand on. Screw ‘em.
H1B / Foreign Students - bump for later....
Immediately STOP All Federal Funds and Eliminate Any TAX Deductions for these 2 schools to mitigate any perceived conflict of interest.
If they can take classes online, they do not have to be in America to get internet access.
It does not take a college education to understand that.
It takes a Bigot to see xenophobia in that simple physical fact. (Or a Leftist bent on circumventing laws for treasonous reasons).
If the classes are exclusively on-line, why do the students need to be in the country. Can’t they attend the virtual classes from the comforts of their homes—in their homelands? Think of all the money they’ll save.
Wondering how the institution would have standing. Will have to read the complaints.
The only reason a foreign student needs to be physically in the US is to go to classes.
If there’s no need to be there physically, the rationale for their entry evaporates. Think the legal term is “extinguished”.
Since visa overstays and work without authorization becomes a problem with such alien students, the rule is completely justified, and entirely within the scope of the President’s power regarding “classes of aliens” who can be prohibited.
The United States in not exceptional says the Left.
But, these students need to be protected from going home.
Why would they need to be here? If you are not teaching classes in person, they should go home. If necessary they could take classes on line but I doubt their countries will go for that. Too bad,
Sue for what? POTUS has plenary power in these issues.
Do the universities have standing? The students should be the ones filing this frivolous law suit.
Xenophobic and harmful?
I thought this person was a journalist.
Love it. Hold classes you chicken babies. Do your job.
Use RICO to confiscate their endowments. Then spend the money on education.
They are exclusive diploma mills, and their graduates deserve no special place in educated society.
Novelist Sol Stein had a nonfiction book Bankruptcy: A Feast For Lawyers.
I think the minute Trump was inaugurated it has been a feast for lawyers.
Pause on terrorist countries incoming immigration? Build the wall to enforce existing immigration laws? Take out secured bank records to publish Trump’s tax returns for twenty years? Non disclosure contract violated by Stormy Daniels for bestseller? Security secrets blurted out in Bolton manuscript for book?
The skies the limit on lawyers’ billable hours.
Protect them from what? These are poor Indians or Chinese from the backwoods of either country, these are the children of RICH ELITES who pay full boat to come here and study.
Um, sorrry, but if all classes are online they don't need a student visa to be here in America to study. They can go back home and do it there.
“arguing that the decision puts students at risk.”
how? The U. S. has some of the worst stats in the world on covid-19 case counts. Who knows? Sending them home might even make them safer.
Interesting way to send Chinese F1 holders back to Winnie the Pooh, without an international kerfuffle.
At the same time, it puts the brakes on the F1/OPT/H1B Desi infestation for a while.
I don’t see a problem here. ;-)
