Greenfield: "America Doesn't Need 'International Students'"

Daniel Greenfield writes that "America Doesn't Need 'International Students'." While he begins with how countries like China and India take advantage of the programs to steel American technology and know how, the bulk of his article is how these programs provide doors for America-hating radicals to enter and remain in the United States. He writes:

    International students are mostly non-westerners and that’s by design. The Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, after extensive lobbying by Ivy League colleges, began bringing third world students to America to counter Communist influence. Beneficiaries included Barack Obama Sr and Shyamala Gopalan, the mother of Kamala Harris, along with other radicals, who found positions in the United States and left behind radical children who undermined America.

    Whatever benefits we may gain from foreign students are more than outweighed by 8 years of Obama and by the destruction wreaked by the wayward children of other ‘international students’. And those benefits are at the heart of the debate taking place right now.

After explaining how these students are heavily subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, Greenfield continues:

    What is painfully clear is that the costs of foreign students, whether it’s 9/11, the Hamas campus riots, Obama administration, a hypothetical Kamala administration or Chinese intellectual property theft far outweighs whatever limited benefits they provide to anyone outside Harvard, Yale, Columbia or Georgetown. America doesn’t need international students, colleges do.

    And as has been obvious for a long time: what’s good for colleges, isn’t good for America.

    American taxpayers subsidized wealthy nonprofit institutions. These institutions demand an unlimited flow of foreign students to further enhance their revenues. And these foreign students, whatever tuition they pay or don’t pay, are benefiting from taxpayer-subsidized institutions.

    It’s a good deal for Harvard, but it’s not a very good deal for America.

    The original idea of bringing foreign students to America was that they would learn about ‘democracy’ and our way of doing things, then go back to their countries imbued with the American spirit. This hasn’t worked very often because foreign students are usually members of foreign elites, like the Obamas or Kamala’s family, who despise America. Rather than teaching the rest of the world about America, we import foreign and domestic enemies into our country.

    Foreign students haven’t Americanized the world, they’ve radicalized, Islamized and terrorized America. Many of those third world students who moved here undermined America and even those who went back home, returned with an insider’s understanding of our weaknesses.

    And American campuses, in their current state, are hardly likely to do anything other than radicalize foreign students and teach them to hate America. The original purpose of the foreign students programs introduced under Eisenhower and Kennedy failed even as the number of foreign students shot up from 400,000 in the 1990s to over 1 million.

    Instead of making America or the world, foreign students set up Muslim Brotherhood operations, Chinese spy organizations and radical groups calling for the destruction of America.

And, I would point out, one less foreign student means one more slot available for a deserving American.
