    Apparently the trump administration's war on immigration and foreigners in general is meeting Millerian expectations.

    Seems since 2016, US economy has lost $11.8B and roughly 65K jobs because foreign students are staying away in droves.

    They are staying away because Socialists like Obama and AOC have turned Universities into a place where diversity of opinions are no longer tolerated.

    Same thing happened after 9-11.. Foreign students stayed away. It really hurts American universities and drives up tuitions without them.

    Which means, those ideals Americans have formerly valued as different & more progressive than found in most other parts of the world, will be spread by fewer & fewer educated people from other countries. That will continue reducing America's impact on improving the world around us. Trump isolationists will celebrate this change, but future generations will pay the price for this ignorance.

    During the 2016 campaign, Trump commented on how much he loved "uneducated Americans." They are his most dependable base. Hating immigrants, demeaning & devaluing women, spreading distrust of a free press, blurring the natural distinctions between truth & falsehoods, spreading fear of anything different, are all characteristics of the uneducated & under educated. Trump & Trump-Republicans are taking America from the nation that explored space & landed on the Moon--the America that for decades won most of the Nobel Prizes in scientific research--to an America rapidly descending into a self-imposed dark age of global ignorance & self-absorbance. Those who support Trump do so because they lack any vision beyond that which impacts them personally.

    This also accomplishes another life-long goal by the right: keeping intellectuals away. so they can dumb down the population.

    It's not just foreign students declining it is also foreign tourists.Foreign tourism to the USA peaked in 2015 with 77.5 Million foreigners visiting and spending in our country,it has declined every year since Dirty Donald was voted into office by the Electoral College.This is hurting the hotels motels and car rental agencies throughout our country as well as all of the tourist attractions throughout our country.Less money being spent and less people employed.

    That's exactly my point. I offered a different perspective and you resort to name calling.

    We HAVE A DECLINING population with deaths exceeding births,this will result in less business leading to less employment and a shrinking economy.We are not alone,the entire European white population regardless of where in the world they have settled is in DECLINE.more dying than are being born.Japan is also experiencing this as is China to a lesser degree,but it is the reason China ended it's one child policy.We need immigrants far more than they need us.

    Well I actually have issue with turning education into a "service export" industry. It pushes the prices up for local students, and it seems the academia then prioritise money above the education of their local students
