America first! Finally, someone in the White House dares to put our country ahead of cheap globalist interests. President Trump, with his crackdown on international students, is showing the world that the United States isn’t an open motel for every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a shiny student visa. Why should America be the world’s campus? Our colleges should prioritize the very citizens who pay taxes and support this great nation.
So, wait times are skyrocketing for U.S. visa interviews in China. Cry me a river! Maybe it’s time those students reconsider where their true loyalties lie. After all, if they’re facing delays and heading to Hong Kong or the UK instead, maybe they weren’t all that committed to the red, white, and blue, to begin with. Let them flock to other nations. America isn’t just any country you can stroll into because you want a degree bolstered by our prestigious institutions.
And here’s the kicker: the prestige of American universities isn’t built on the backs of international students. It’s built by Americans and for Americans. It’s been too long since liberal policies have allowed universities to grow fat and happy on the tuition checks of students who might, frankly, not even stay in the U.S. after they graduate. Education is supposed to uplift the young American minds who will innovate and drive our future, not act as a globalist pipeline.

Astoundingly, there’s a surge in international applications for British schools. Britain can have them! These students want the benefits of a Western education but have less patience to follow the rightful processes. Maybe it’s better they take their ambitions elsewhere if they can’t wait in line like everyone else. Western nations should honor visas with integrity, not hand them out like participation trophies.
President Trump’s stance frightens those who prefer a weakening America, wide open for exploitation. But the true question is, do we really want to cater to fleeting interest, or do we focus on building a stronger, more self-reliant nation? The choice is clear: Support the policies that put America back in the driver’s seat.
