This would be a massive reversal from Trump's policies so far, which have threatened international students' ability to enter the country and jeopardized the admissions of many top institutions — and it also contradicts his prior moves to revoke visas for Chinese students. But the new pledge, which was backed up by Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, provoked instant fury from the MAGA world.

Did he suddenly get reminded of exactly how much money they pay to go to school here?

And the students have to go back when they finish. They come here, for a little while, learn how to be inventors, programmers, and scientists, then go back to one of the fastest growing economies on the planet. Meanwhile, we are firing all of the domestic scientists and telling our domestic students that we need them to harvest crops.

What could go wrong?

Who’s going to pay that kind of money to have a 50% chance of being deported before you’re finished with the degree?
