If you know an international graduate student or postdoc you’ll understand why we have so many of them. Americans would sue for mental issues if we worked as hard as they do.

my friend from India literally grew up in a poor ass village and worked his ass off earning top scores on all the tests and learned English to get here. Bro literally comes in at 8am every morning and leaves at 9pm every night taking barely any breaks. He’s also won departmental awards on how good his figures are and works at an insanely high level

As a graduate student myself I can verify this. I have to work very hard to keep up with my foreign coworkers and they earn less than me based on their foreign student contracts. Huge mistake turning these people away, although trump will be dead long before we see the last of impacts of his actions
