   "#Vance let slip what is likely the real reason for this crackdown when he claimed that foreign students are "bad for the American dream.' He argued that intl students are bad "for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t b/c their spot was taken by a foreign student.' Like Usha's parents? Radhakrishna “Krish” Chilukuri & Lakshmi Chilukuri moved from India to the U.S. in the late 1970s. She's a biologist & provost @ UCSD; he an engineer @ SDSU.

     The number of “spots” in universities is not a fixed number. The universities can, and have, expanded.
     The foreign students bring a huge amount of money to American universities —they subsidize American students, contrary to vance’s bigotry. And their presence enhances the educational experience.
     The foreign students who stay in America add to our economic strength, and the ones who return home contribute to America’s soft power
