US President Donald Trump’s decision to cap international undergraduate students to 15 per cent of a college, with no more than 5 per cent from any single country, has evoked sharp criticism from Telugu students, who form a considerable chuck from India seeking admission in American colleges.
Vishvanath Reddy, a student from Hyderabad who is pursuing his masters’ in the US, said “This is deeply unfair to international students. Immigrant students, especially from India, are the lifeblood of universities in the US. Trump cannot just put a five per cent cap on students belonging to a particular nationality. This will bring in a first-come-first-serve policy, essentially penalising talented students.”
Many international education experts warn that the move could greatly reduce the number of Indian students in US campuses, as India currently sends the largest number of international students.

Ever tried to travel on business to India? I used to.
$$$ to get in every time, even for a 3 day meeting.
My granddaughter said the foreign students in her lab....were VERY VERY wealthy.
Go develop your own country instead of being employment parasites off the American worker.
Another TDS trigger even if not an Indian.
The left is getting desperate.
Virginia democrats are now campaigning solely on TDS.
Slow uke day?
Utter BS: Employers pay the fee.
Go back to India, Sanjeep.
Don’t most of these Indian H1b workers come from very wealthy families anyway?
When students from India come to the US for their education, they really plan on staying forever in the US. They don’t plan on going back to India. They’ll stay here and then bring over their whole family.
Trump & Ludnick have gaslighted us with the help of corporate news. There are those who believe MAGA means make 'America' great even if that means replacing American jobs with foreigners. Others believe MAGA means make 'Americans' great.
H1B and other foreign work visa programs STEAL American jobs. Politicians unwilling to end (not modify) these programs are enemies of the American people.
If India is such a wonderful place why do many of the wealthy Indians come here for school and for an “extended stay
bringing over family members?
I disagree. One more aspect not thoroughly addressed and transcends DJT:
MAGADS. They are demonizing EVERYONE not in their camp.
But, more specifically, US.
MIGA
Stay home and live the Indian dream.
We have no more pieces of pie.
The ones who come here are the ones at the top of the social strata in India. They are not the down and out by any means as the left wants everyone to believe.
