Colleges Warn Foreign Students to Get to Campus Before Trump Takes Office
The New York Times ^ | December 12, 2024 | Sharon Otterman

With students at many colleges wrapping up final exams this week and preparing for their winter break, a number of schools, including Harvard, U.S.C. and Cornell, are advising their international students to return to campus before President-elect Donald J. Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20.

During his last administration, Mr. Trump imposed restrictions on entry to the United States from seven majority-Muslim countries, a policy that stranded thousands of students who were abroad at the time. Later in his term, Mr. Trump added more countries to the restricted travel list. And he has spoken of wanting to reimpose those restrictions once he is back in the White House.

“A travel ban is likely to go into effect soon after inauguration,” Cornell’s Office of Global Learning warned students on its website late last month, advising them to be back in the United States before the start of spring-semester classes on Jan. 21. “The ban is likely to include citizens of the countries targeted in the first Trump administration: Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Myanmar, Sudan, Tanzania, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Somalia. New countries could be added to this list, particularly China and India.”

Colleges are also warning all students to prepare for possible delays at the border and in the processing of paperwork.

***At an event in September with a Republican donor, Miriam Adelson, Mr. Trump said he would “seal our border and bring back the travel ban,” apparently referring to his restrictions on travel from some majority-Muslim countries. He also said that he would “ban refugee resettlement from terror-infested areas like the Gaza Strip.”

More than 1.1 million students from outside the United States were enrolled in American colleges and universities in the 2023-24 academic year, according to Open Doors, a data project partially funded by the U.S. State...

More winning. The colleges aren't happy because wealthy foreign student pay full freight. But these spots should go to US students not illegals and Hamas-nik troublemakers.

Trump should add a hefty tax to the tuition colleges and Universities charge foreign students. Why should we be educating the world?

They act like it’s tag and college is home base. Deport them all for the slightest infraction. We don’t need nor want muzzie trash. They aren’t smart, so it’s just some oil ape paying full freight.

Columbia has one of the largest international student and scholar populations in the U.S.

The U.S. can simply revoke visas for pro-Hamas students. We can ban certain countries from getting student visas for the next four years.

Yes, that includes the UK and France.

Not only do foreign students pay full freight, they bring a lot of money into the country and spend it big time. They stay at places like the Four Seasons. They lease fancy cars while they are here. Their family pays lawyers to get them out of ‘scrapes” e.g., speeding tickets, parking tickets, rapes, etc. A lot of people earn their living catering to these kids.

Majority muslin countries. Sounds nice. Nicer than neck cutting bombing maiming chaos countries.
