anyone cheering this on really has no idea how bad this is. higher education is an area in which the US has had a completely dominant position. the smartest and most driven people from all over the world come here to learn, and start businesses here afterwards. it's a tide that raises all ships. it's not at all a mixed bag like outsourcing or the loss of domestic manufacturing.

that dominance is ending now, because of the cruel whims of one man. none of this is based on rules or process. it's the exact kind of fickle brutality people come to this country to escape. the entire thing is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.

People need to stop blaming "one man." The entire Republican party is complicit in this. Congress has the power to end this. They are controlled by the Republicans. They are not ending this because this is what they want... power without accountability or consequence.
