      two questions (both serious): (a) if the foreigners aren't attending f2f school, why do they need to be here? What's wrong with having them live at home while they study? (b) why is it in the national interest or in the personal interests of Americans to have them here?https://twitter.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1280207487573069827 …

      This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-modifies-temporary-exemptions-nonimmigrant-students-taking-online-courses-during … pic.twitter.com/OfkWRKFZZE

      A college student isn’t in a particular location merely to receive instruction. They become residents of a community, where they live out their lives, some of which involves receiving instruction. This is true regardless of the student’s citizenship. +

      It is no more reasonable to require a student to return to India merely because their school is no longer delivering lectures in person than it would be to require them to return to Kansas. +

      The mere fact that under our immigration, citizenship, and interstate travel laws we are ABLE to require them to return to India but not to Kansas does not mean that we SHOULD. /f

      non sequitur the fact that we are ABLE is orthogonal to whether we SHOULD in fact, we probably SHOULD regardless of whether we are ABLE or not

          Nonsense. Students have roommates; people in every state are visiting those close to them; places are open with various limits everywhere. And the two issues are orthogonal anyway; lockdown could be lifted and yet schools remain virtual for the year. https://twitter.com/morlockp/status/1280263799107399683?s=21 …https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1280263799107399683 …

          Large swaths of the US have lockdown orders. Very few people are capable of acting as members of community these days.

          Eddie, Son of Richard Retweeted ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs

          The reason we allow non-citizens to reside in the country while they are students is not so they can receive instruction, it is so they can go to college. Going to college is much more than receiving instruction. https://twitter.com/morlockp/status/1280264314604175362?s=21 …https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1280264314604175362 …

          our policy says that the only reason that they're here (something they do not, by default, have the right to do) is for education if they're not getting education f2f, they have no need to be here if education is not why they're here, why not let 6 billion in?
