How about we improve the education of OUR youth? ....Good-we don't need'em.First time in 10 years FEWER foreign students attending American colleges
New international student enrollments continue to decline at U.S. universities
New enrollments of international students fell by 6.6 percent at American universities in academic year 2017-18 compared to the year before, marking the second straight year in declines in new enrollments, according to new data from the annual Open Doors survey.
Among the findings, institutions in the center of the country -- specifically the South Central region, which includes Texas, and the West North Central region -- are seeing sharper declines than are institutions on the coasts. Less selective institutions are also seeing steeper declines.
(some could argue they just donāt want to go to a shit hole part of the country)
There were also declines in the overall number of students coming from America's neighbors, Canada and Mexico, two countries where President Trump is deeply unpopular.
The first recorded drop in new enrollments came in academic year 2016-17.
Among the top 10 states hosting international students, there were increases in the total number of international students (including OPT participants) in No. 1 destination California (+3.2 percent), No. 2 New York (+2.4 percent), No. 4 Massachusetts (+8.4 percent), No. 5 Illinois (+2.2 percent), No. 6 Pennsylvania (+1.3 percent) and No. 7 Florida (+1.7 percent), and declines in No. 3 Texas (-0.9 percent), No. 8 Ohio (-2.8 percent), No. 9 Michigan (-0.7 percent) and No. 10 Indiana (-2 percent).

You canāt attract the best in the world if theyāre afraid to come here.
They can look up the statistics the same as anybody else can and see that right wing terrorism is a major threat to people from overseas.
Yes, we do.
They are not mutually exclusive, dumbass. In fact, one of the issues China has been trying to address for well over a decade is a ābrain drainā resulting from students coming to the US to study and then staying here with their valuable education to Americaās benefit.
All this not to mention the very significant money international students and their families spend here.
