This is a huge blow to the more than a million International students in the US almost 3/4ths of which arrive from Asia.
China ~ 400,000
India ~ 200,000
S Korea ~ 50,000

Sums it up.
Trump on why #StudentBan is a dumb & cruel idea. In 2015. Coz #ThereIsAlwaysATweet
MIT/Harvard file lawsuits supported by Massachusetts Attorney General. #StudentBan
"The order came down without notice—its cruelty surpassed only by its recklessness...We believe that the ICE order is bad public policy, and we believe that it is illegal” thecrimson.com/article/2020/7…
"ICE’s decision reflects an effort by the federal government to force universities to reopen in-person classes...the effect—and perhaps even the goal—is to create as much chaos for universities & international students as possible."
This is what a million intl. students are going through. "Shortly after ICE announcement, Chinese intl students circulated a flowchart depicting how the virus, China’s flight policy & Trump’s immigration policies have combined to scramble their lives" politico.com/newsletters/po…
Wonderful news! The Trump admin increasingly looks like a paper tiger.
The famous 1927 Solvay conference had just 2 Americans. 10 yrs later, after Europe went fascist, the scientific research frontier moved entirely to the US. If US turns away students & researchers, its loss will be other countries gain. ht @curiouswavefn
