Open Thread | The Attempt to Scapegoat Foreign Students

Greg Sargent (@GregTSargent) posted at 6:00 AM on Wed, May 28, 2025:
Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he’s pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college.

Those things are connected. 1/

Trump opened a new front in his war on Harvard by saying foreign students are preventing American kids from going there.

If Trump wants to boost the upward mobility of working class US kids, he should get House Rs to stop cutting aid to higher ed! 2/

Telling working-class families that the real obstacle their kids face is zero-sum competition from foreign students makes it easier to take away resources boosting working-class kids to fund tax cuts for the rich.

This is a ghoulish turn in the saga. 3/

The bill that House Rs passed, which Trump is pushing, could result in at least 700,000 kids losing access to financial aid for higher ed, and raise costs for countless more.

All this comes as Trump blames foreign students for taking US kids’ slots. 4/

If Trump wants to put lots more money into vocational training, he and Rs can pass something into law that does this, with no strings attached. The GOP bill does put some more into trade schools but simultaneously makes it harder for many to get the $. 5/

Trump only gets seriously interested in the idea of putting more money into vocational training when he can say he’s taking that money away from Harvard first. Everything is zero sum. Everything must always serve the MAGA Two Minute Hate of the moment. 6/

Pundits often say elites gaming our meritocracy will fuel support for Trump’s attacks on elite institutions like Harvard.

I think people will see his attacks on universities for what they are: Corrupt, destructive, megalomaniacal. 7/

Always trying to blame THE OTHER.
Our colleges and universities being open to enrolling international students, goes a long way to help keep the United States going. We are poaching some of ‘the best and the brightest’ from other countries, and plucking them for ourselves. Many of them choose to remain in the US after college, and decide to build a life here. A well-educated immigrant base that helps keep America in the game on a global scale.

Here a link to an article in The New Republic:

Trump’s Fury at Harvard Gets More Deranged—and Exposes a Big MAGA Scam

The attack on Student Loans in the GOP Bill is about cutting off the access to higher education for everyone who wasn’t born RICH.

    Make no mistake, what’s going on in LA is planned by Stephen Miller.

    It’s in project 2025, that’s how planned it is.

    There’s no foreigners violently waving their nations flags in the streets. The only violence is that caused by ICE.

    They ran somebody over and then fled the scene.

    There’s no need for the way that they’re acting other than to instigate.

    Donald Trump wants to unleash the United States military on its own citizens. That’s been the plan since 2016.

    He wants so bad to use the insurrection act, that he’s planting people to cause disruption.

    One thing we can always count on with this administration is that they cannot think of anything new.

    So they’re just doing the same thing that they were doing before and think that we don’t notice.

    No insurrection, no national guard.

    A few interesting takeaways from our new poll…

    A slight majority feel the administration’s deportation efforts are prioritizing people they believe are dangerous criminals. Those who say this are very supportive of the program, and feel the program is making people in the U.S. safer.

    But if people don’t think it is dangerous criminals who are the focus of the deportation effort, support drops dramatically.

    Pam Bondi, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump have all stated publicly that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is definitely guilty of crimes and is going to jail. If I were his judge, I’d dismiss all charges on the grounds that the case is prejudiced by the POTUS, the AG and the Secretary of State.

    I’m Not ashamed to say I wanted Biden to have his second term and that I voted for Kamala Harris.

    Nothing about that is shameful to me.

    I’m content with my choices because my choices haven’t led to anything the Trump admin wants to do.

    You’ll never be able to shame me for it.
