“...She (Shelley Luther) also called for Chinese students to be barred from attending Texas universities...”
That would get her my vote. Most major universities coast to coast have a thousand or more Chinese “students”. At Auburn, the last count I saw was 1400. Many are nice and polite and serious-minded. But they are all at the mercy of the Communist Party of China who can recall them or threaten their family back home.
When filling out an employment application at Auburn one has to commit to a “diverse” campus. How many Chinese are required for a diverse enough campus? Is 1400 enough? Is 3000 too many? And how many should be from Bangladesh? We have lots and lots of them.
Given there are no, that is zero, jobs available now in China, the likely hood is the students will stay here or go somewhere else. The over seas Chinese population is very large in Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Taiwan. American cities are in decline and there may be better choices for the young American educated students.
