The last two years of our immigration debate has centered around the discussion of widely sympathetic illegal or legally dubious immigrants, such as “Dreamers” and asylum seekers. While President Trump has sparred with Democrats about our southern border, only to reach a seemingly insurmountable stalemate, there is one arena of immigration Republicans and Democrats alike could greatly gain from reforming: our student visa program.

Our F-1 visa program, which permits foreign nationals to study in the U.S. full time, comprises the overwhelming majority of our student visas. A few thousand dependents of F-1 visa holds gain entry to the country with F-2 visas, and a few hundred border commuters who live in their own countries full-time obtain F-3 visas. Our F-1 visa program is not just extremely lax, approving roughly 4 out of every 5 applicants, but it’s also extremely generous towards our foreign adversaries.
