Trump Deputies Curb Student Visas, SInk ‘600,000 Chinese’ ClaimNeil Munro 29 Aug 2025
President Donald Trump’s deputies are capping migrant student visas at four years, making it more difficult for white-collar migrants to sneak into Americans’ professional jobs.
“For too long, past Administrations have allowed foreign students and other visa holders to remain in the U.S. virtually indefinitely, posing safety risks, costing untold amounts of taxpayer dollars, and disadvantaging U.S. citizens,” said a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, which added:
This new proposed rule would end that abuse once and for all by limiting the amount of time certain visa holders are allowed to remain in the U.S.
The new rule will make it harder for foreigners — mostly Indians — to hopscotch their way from job to job to green cards via various college courses and President George Bush’s huge Optional Practical Training work permit program.
The modest curbs are good news for American graduates and their parents.
The changes were denounced by pro-migration groups, especially by pro-Indian advocates. “The most brutal I’ve seen … over the last 40 years,” claimed one Indian advocate. “The new F1 rules effectively closes the F1 [to] H1B [program] pipeline,” lamented one Indian advocate.
The F-1 visa currently has no expiration date. That quirk allows young foreigners to snag short-term work permits by paying tuition to colleges. In turn, they use the work permits to jump from one white-collar job to another, often via co-ethnic hiring networks.
