Dear MEL Topic Readers,
By limiting student visas, the US is losing more than students
This article is strongly opinionated but doesn’t seem so far off the line. There were a little over a million foreign students enrolled in US colleges in 2019, about 430,000 of whom were undergraduate and 378,000 were graduate. As for their nation of origin, China with 370,000, India with 200,000, South Korea with 52,000, and Saudi Arabia with 37,000 students. On the other hand, approximately 340,000 US students studied abroad for academic credit. This imbalance indicates that the US’s higher education is well regarded and beneficial for international students and their parents. This also brings longer-term benefits to the US as was once presented on the Department of State’s website, foreign students yesterday, world leaders today. True. Those who studied in the US are usually influenced by the open-minded culture, practical approaches, open environment, and innovative spirit. Also, they are more likely to become pro-America through education, living, and friendship.
However, the current administration has been extremely stingy about granting student visas not only to the students from hostile countries but also from allies. Many US colleges will lose not only tuition from foreign students but also the diversity on their campuses. In the long run, the US could suffer a loss of intelligence, support, and respect from other countries.
Enjoy reading the article and think about the long-term benefits of having foreign students on the college campus.
