    First Post's Simantik Dowerah on whether Donald Trump will enlist
    VP JD Vance to serve as Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's plan
    to commission Big .EDU's presidents and deans poaching the 8.1+B
    globe's top two quintiles with promises of Staple a Green Card
    immediate access to the American labor market in return for full
    freight rentals of American classroom seats and laboratory stools: <URL:https://www.firstpost.com/world/is-the-charm-of-us-universities-over-for-chinese-hk-students-13837572.html>
    | Policies under former US President Donald Trump and their
    | continuation under the Biden administration have created an
    | inhospitable atmosphere for many international students.
    | Restrictions on visas, especially for Chinese graduate students in
    | sensitive fields like aviation and robotics and bans on those
    | suspected of ties to the Chinese military, have raised barriers.
    |
    | For students already in the US, frequent status renewals and the
    | limited availability of H-1B visas make long-term planning
    | difficult. Rising anti-Asian sentiment and gun violence in the US
    | have also contributed to perceptions of an unsafe and unwelcoming
    | environment.

    Will Marco Rubio's State.GOV foreign service officers continue to
    serve pitchmen for Big .EDU and the Cheap Labor Lobby's F-1 to OPT
    to H-1B scab worker import pipeline?
