"The president wants to balance US trade deficits? He can’t do it w/o this industry he hates.

Trump says he wants to reduce our trade deficit. Yet he’s destroying one of our winningest exports: higher education.

Colleges & universities are among US's most competitive INTL exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the US sold more EDU svcs to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas & coal combined."

With Marco Rubio's State Department canceling #student #visas and jack-booted #ICE officers "disappearing" foreign students, these students shouldn't be forgotten. Universities and student unions should widely distribute Know Your Rights flyers and cards. Provided they consent, their names and stories should be local knowledge with the help of local news reporting. The universities should show some spine and memorialize them, too. What's happening isn't normal.

I think some of us need a reminder that in January an American green card holder born in Morocco flew all the way across the ocean to Tel Aviv to stab 4 random civilians because he has been radicalized

If someone had checked his social media and asked him a couple questions about it before giving him a US green card, the attack would have been prevented

This is not about theoretical harm
