Asked about Harvard and MIT suing ICE over rule not to issue visas to foreign students, McEnany says, “You don’t get a visa for taking online classes from let’s say University of Phoenix, so why would you if you were just taking online classes generally?”

International students on F-1 or M-1 visas can’t remain in US if fall classes are online

In a statement, the U.S. State Department said that international students are welcome in the U.S., but the policy “provides greater flexibility for nonimmigrant students to continue their education in the United States, while also allowing for proper social distancing on open and operating campuses across America.”

Universities across the U.S. say the more than 1 million international students have an important place in their communities. Many schools have also come to depend on revenue from international students, who typically pay higher tuition rates. Johnson worries that even students who start off on campus will be prevented by travel restrictions from going home if a surge forces classes online mid-semester.

But Wessel, who runs the university's cognitive neurology lab, said it was more important to take a stand against the policy “and say politics should not use our students as a poker chip in whatever they are trying to do.” He said he would suspend his teaching if any of his students was forced out.

trump's doll!

TheView She probably attended the Trump University! She can't tell the difference between Harvard vs. University of Phoenix?!

You sicken me working for a devil and standing for what he stands for makes you the worker of hell.

TheView AllRepublicansAreFascists

TheView Bet you would get visa if it was TRUMP UNIVERSITY

She shows a fair point but keep in mind she’s debating if money or your own health and well being is more important. And she sides with money ofcourse

TheView Which end is she sucking

'CAUSE IT'S NOT U OF PHOENIX! These schools still have schedules to keep, lectures to give, just not in the classrooms. Does she know what time zones are? Did she expect a Japanese student stay up at 12 am for a 1pm class in Boston? Interactions real time with teachers?

That is exactly where she got her education, which explains so much.

Thank goodness she has that cheat sheet in front of her.

Why is this an issue of schools are being pushed to reopen or face fund cuts?

Don’t let anyone have a visa for that! Stay in ur own country and go to school

Punish the foreign students and watch they’ll still come out on top and prob be your next plastic surgeon.

East coast Elite Universities, affordable at very low tuition for every US hard working citizen !

This girl is not thinking about lives!

Worlds thinnest argument there

Oh gee, I don’t know... maybe because we’re in the midst of a worldwide pandemic? She’s as pathetic as her boss.

How did she get this job?

Harvard and MIT just want to sell Visas to rich foreigner and cash in.

They should not get a visa for online classes 🙄

She didn't answer the question. The question was, is this forcing universities to open brick and mortar classes?

Glad she went shopping. Now for that conture make up or spray on tan or whatever that is.....No ma’am😂

When they pushed out the Mexicans you did not say anything oh that’s not me no interest when they pushed out the Muslims oh that’s not me no interest when they came for me there was nobody left to say anything Love your neighbor treat others like you wanna be treated

Trumps McNanny is Enemy of the people! EnemyOfThePeople

Retarded

Ouch! Education is the future, no doubt... invest in safely educating the children... shift the paradigm now... 6T for trying to save the economy.. okay... ?T For nations future? While printing presses are spun up?

I would NEVER do a job like that. Every day, you KNOW, that you have to go out and lie to over 300 million Americans. How does she live with herself? She says, ''I have not read the book but it is full of trash.'' Amazing.

TheView There she goes flipping in her huge ass binder again

MC Enema says what?

She’s right 100%. Why would a student need to pay full tuition for taking classes online and self educating. Sue those universities refundourmoney

How do trump got such reps ?

Bad words, bad words, bad words!!

Some people are just evil and some do the devils work - not sure which description fits best.

Because this is a pandemic and her boss hasn’t handled the situation effectively.

Ugh what an ignorant answer. Not surprised

I guess team Trump doesn't see things changing back to normal anytime soon. Looks like we are stuck with the TrumpPlague for a while... Are we great again?

TheView Trump can win against a lot entities, public and private. Harvard ain't one of them. Nobody puts Harvard in a corner.

WorldNews I be wondering how these people sleep at night

What a idiot wish someone would of come back and said of course not because it’s a on line school only they have no campus for students. For the love of God she is stupid. These student should be allowed to stay who knows in persons could start mid semesters you don’t know.

She rocks!

There is something freakingly wrong with Trump and his crew of really ignorant staff. It's as if the mantra is wrong is right and right is wrong with them. Please America..vote this dumbshit administration out of office in November. This stupidity has to end.

Being it is an online class . I do not see any reason for them to need a visa . You can take that class from just about any country around the world. Without ever leaving ones home. You do not need a visa to login.

Did you use to get one while attending Trump University?

What’s the difference?

Not like paying someone to take your SAT is better.

For a smart person, that was one of the dumbest answers I've ever heard...

Puppet

Oh - good one.

This administration suffers from a gap of knowledge and lack understanding about what Universities are and how they function... not saying about the science they generate. Cannot understand such insistence.

To the people saying it’s fair...that’s ridiculous. These people have leases and ties in the US, may face drastic time zone differences with their online classes, may have living situations not conducive to learning and may have to return to American next year anyway

Is that where you got yours.

Pretty sure no one wants to go to the USA at the moment anyway

TheView All I see coming out of the White House is people don't matter only Big Businessmen matter. i realize that is the mind set of Republican's that because they provide jobs for the peasants, they should get all the breaks and special treatment

TheView Why does she always turn pages in that notebook? Is she looking at the script of canned responses or does it give her a minute to think up a lie?

They went through a legal, complicated and expensive process to just be thrown out of the country due to a situation that is NOT their fault. They are following all the rules to obtain a valuable degree. She doesn’t get it because she’s a close-minded spoiled brat!

She’s really hard to stomach

She should RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!

TheView UOPX is this true?

These are students that were to be in class if it were not for Covid so this is ridiculous waste of time and resouces. Give them a visa! Hope Harvard and MIT win! Wish our federal government would do something useful!

OMG she's still here !

There she goes again with all that damn logic. Even a Harvard man should be able to understand this.

Goes to binder tab that says “Visa”.

She will never work again, after he is voted out...

Wet noodle, pathetic

She’s defending Universty of Phoenix because it’s her alma mater.

She pretends that deportation has no negative effect on the students already living here for school and that our future partnerships with these very talented, hard-working people isn’t worth protecting. The policy is destructive and short-sighted.

Why are you reporters and journalists wasting your time going to these press conferences : It s nothing but pure BS and lies .

43% of current Harvard students got in because of legacy and “friends”. She is stupid as stupid can get.

Why can't immigrants take online courses from their own country?

Her answer makes sense to me, but why not issue visas? What is the harm? Especially, if classes will resume later this year?

It’s a no win situation... Push the schools to open or get the foreigners out ... That’s our choices

Does she really have a degree from Harvard.

This woman lives in Westworld.🤠🤖😎

if this was ordinary circumstances of course you dont get issued a student Visa for online class..but given we are currently living with an pandemic allowances should be made... they are enrolled as students & attending classes what difference does it make..

Seems like stupiditis is spreading faster than Covid 🤷🏽‍♀️

That’s stupid business right there🙄. They pay 3x more than American students, pay rent, pay for visas and participate on the economy. Most international students attending those schools are already privileged so again dumb business move🙄. I feel for the ones on scholarships 😥

She always look down when she lies 🙄

Because there are extraordinary circumstances

WorldNews Hay ass hole it is not their fault that the virus happened so you’re penalizes them for something they had no control over

She's not wrong.

Makes sense to me

I cant stand her....

Monkey see, monkey do!!!

FULL CONTEXT! Watch:

I know you hate her because she's republican and Donald Trump's press sec....but she's hit with ridiculous trap questions every day and absolutely destroys the press with common sense.

WorldNews She’s totally right

The Trump mouthpiece.

She’s hot

Surely, those with a visa, studying in the USA, can complete their courses, by any means, without being denied the right to stay? Come on America. Wake up.

Oh, I dunno..... Because shit is all fucked up and you morons didn't lock the country down in time or sufficiently enough and now nothing is normal? Fucking clown.

Okay, can I just say here and now that I hate this little twit? She's perfect for Trump and all his henchman. Pretty, unscrupulous and an out and out liar.

She looks like the typical blonde.

Dumb Blonde

Lol, her response was basically “There’s not just one issue, there’s actually a second, larger issue we’re also not addressing”

Because we are in a pandemic and no fault of their own.

Can’t understand normal thinking.

No exceptions for the present circumstances eh? How can this woman sleep at night.

Actually she shamed her alma mater Harvard for charging full tuition for virtual classes

Remember everyone she's only being paid to say the Bull.

WorldNews Who got her into Harvard?

jojo

Sure 😂

Harvard, MIT Sue Immigration Officials Over Rule Blocking Some International StudentsHarvard and MIT are suing the U.S. government — seeking to reverse a federal policy announced Monday that would bar international students from attending U.S. colleges that go online-only this fall. There’s also a trickle down effect no one is talking about. Most of them probably have signed leases for off campus housing for the 2020-2021 school year. Who eats that? Landlords or the students you just kicked out of the country? They don’t want American dollar. They want that foreign student top dollar. Shame on Harvard! Right on!
