I’d start with folks that post things clearly indicative of their hate for America.

That’s just me though.

Amazing how students hate whites and Christians constantly for the past 15 years and it's fine but they become anti-Israel and suddenly we're strong against them and will vet each student's social media to make sure they're pro-Israel?

Under the screening process, consular officers would examine applicants’ posts, shares, and comments across platforms such as Instagram, X, and TikTok for content they deem to be threatening to national security, which has since been tied in to the Trump administration’s stance on combating antisemitism.

Not too difficult for them to stop posting the stuff.

One reason this is a bad idea is for medical doctors and medical researchers. We already don’t have enough doctors in the US. We need to keep Asian Dr.s in the US after medical school.

My daughter had surgery when she was 3 and there was less than 15 pediatric surgeons in the US that specialized in the type of back surgery she needed. Most of the surgeons were all foreign born. We were lucky because we had a Chinese surgeon at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City. At the time Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital was the only other hospital that wasn’t on the east or west coast with the type of specialist she needed.

Most of us have or have had foreign born doctors. My kids pediatrician is from Nepal and she is great.

This is a bad idea. 25% of the doctors in the US are foreigners

Is fine with me if we are going to give foreign students the honor of coming to the USA. If they don't like it and don't want to be fully vetted, they can stay on their country.

Most awards and Miney is already given to people that were approved in last 6 month. If this holds it will change for next year.

No way this turns into a way to keep conservative and red pilled students out in the future. No way.

Exactly this.

This board has become so overrun with the caricatures that the left has painted for a long time. I have spent years making the case to my leftward relationships that the way the right is portrayed is a ridiculous exaggeration.

Case in point: I insist that the right is not against all immigration. Only uncontrolled flooding of our borders with the undocumented.

Counterpoint: Many replies in this thread.

As the post above says, it’s stupid to think this won’t become just one more escalation that will be turned back on its proponents.

If its time to pull up the ladder, it's time, frixck anyone with the mindset that it is not for Americans to decide

Why should the executive branch have sole authority over this decision?
well, if you believe in a US representative republic it falls to the executive.

USA can still work to ban entry for any established reasons that are based on mandate

A lot of situations call for pulling up the ladder

like if 20 million undocumented suddenly get shipped to borders as has happened

There is a process and we should require it to be followed.

Rabid myopia.

This is a nation built on immigrants. Sure important to vet who we're letting in, but LEGAL immigrants on the whole are enterprising and have created tons of value

Sergie Brin, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Pierr Omidiyar... all immigrants, who have created economic value and jobs in this country.

Correct, it is a very, very bad idea.

I suspect you were lied to, or more likely, simply did not understand what you were told.

That why I highlighted the MAGA statement.

That can be viewed as hate towards America.

Its all bases on who is running the show at the time.

LEGAL migrants.

Not illegal immigrants.

They were given a [due] process and followed it.

Built on SETTLERS. settlers that earned their keep the hard way. People who take advantage of that hard work don't have the right to whine, but need to be thankful for the blessings others ancestors laid out for their future generations.

The ethics of it aside, it's going to weaken our country

If the best and brightest want to come here to study we'd be stupid to slam the door in their face
