As long as they pay at least what students from affluent American families pay, qualified foreign students that are peaceful should be welcome to do undergraduate study in the USA.

At the graduate level, initiation by foreign citizens of study or research in national defense technology subjects should not be allowed.

There should be at least 50% participation by American citizens in graduate level activities, but I’m not sure that should be required by law at the current time.

Maybe a few thousand would be okay but we really shouldn’t allow more than that. Getting rid of them will cause schools to lower tuition to attract more Americans

That might be true if universities did not receive preferentaial tax treatment that is deferred by US citizen taxes. Not to mention Federal grant $.
Americans should not be subsidizing college or university spots for foreign students.
Americans have fewer opportunities because of these students and the Universities are orienting offerings and campus activities to encourage foreign students for monetary reasons.

Our universities have become bloated and their focus is distorted. The real purpose of higher education is no longer delivering education and value to enrolled students. It is instead indoctrination and adherence to curated “truths” a discouragement of any actual curiosity or discussion. The business aspect of foreign governments, foreign students and leftist funding has caused this realignment.
