quote:
In the 2024/25 academic year, students from India (363,019) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) (265,919) made up 53 percent (India, 31 percent; PRC, 23 percent) of all foreign students (1,177,766) at the post-secondary level, according to the Institute of International Education’s (IIE) annual census. Yet, the number of F-1 student visas the U.S. State Department issued from May to August 2025 to Indian and PRC nationals fell dramatically from prior years’ levels.
Comparing the number of F-1 visas issued during the May-August period from 2017 to 2025 (excluding 2020, when visa issuance fell dramatically because of the Covid pandemic), in 2025:
The number of visas issued to nationals of India (22,149) declined by 60 percent from the average number issued during 2017-19/2021-24 (55,717), and by 62 percent from 2024 (58,694); and
The number issued to nationals of the PRC (40,034) declined by 46 percent from the 2017-19/2021-24 average (73,853), and by 34 percent from 2024 (61,075).

Guess they have to wait for Boasberg to rule on it before cancelling their flights.

Wed be so fricked without Trump and the haters have no idea.
It's almost as if the people that constantly shite on Trump are actual democrats that want mass migration and less jobs.

Congress

Only lawmakers in the House of Representatives and the Senate can vote to completely scrap or phase out the statutory cap for H-1B visas.
What we can do and Trump has done. But this would only last until the next one is in.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can alter how applications are processed, change wage requirements, eliminate grace periods after job losses, or replace random lotteries with weighted selection systems to sharply curtail approvals.

Cut it to zero in my book.

Let’s see what happens.
Trump promised Xi that the US would allow hundreds of thousands more student visas from China.

Individual members of Congress occasionally introduce bills—such as bills aiming to reduce caps to zero or phase out the classification—though these require majority congressional approval and presidential signature to become law
Probably never going to happen because the people that cry the loudest about it won't vote the people in to make the change.
If you want it to zero, you should only be voting for people saying they will end visas.

And while all the people were crying over Trump's words, they were ignoring his actions.
While conservatives cry about visas, Trump is quietly reducing the number of foreign students and new h1bs.
I remember a time when conservatives understood that Trump said crazy things to keep the democrats chasing their tails while he went to work in the background.
Unfortunately, conservatives are emotional and have short memories, so they've now been fooled like the democrats.

Great news, but it needs to be cut even further, MUCH further

It would be great to see Trump not capitulate to China on this issue.
