Foreign student visas need limits

The State Department had revoked about 1,500 visas throughout the United States as of late April, Inside Higher Ed estimates. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has investigated some of them, and some will be asked to leave or be deported if they have broken the conditions of their student status per U.S. immigration law. A small number may be deported if the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, deems their presence detrimental to U.S. foreign policy.

Two professors at Cornell and Yale claimed in the Washington Post that “our foreign students are terrified, and they’re right to be.” Please. No foreign student who is obeying the conditions of his visa and staying focused on his studies has anything to worry about.
