NBCAsianAmerica Priyankaa Krishnan says she hasn’t been in India since she was a child. Part of applying for student, work and visitor visas is affirming that you have a residence abroad and ties to your country of citizenship. She clearly does not. How exactly is she an international student?

NBCAsianAmerica Can the Admin make this decision without Congressional approval?

NBCAsianAmerica This is the law, if you don’t physically attend college you lose your visa. American students are home why shouldn’t international

NBCAsianAmerica Lol they feel entitled to stay here. You are taking online classes bro, 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

NBCAsianAmerica How about a Blue Ribbon Panel on a National COVID-19 recovery Plan Members: George W. Bush Barak Obama Bill Clinton Jimmy Carter Deborah Birx Anthony Fauci

NBCAsianAmerica

NBCAsianAmerica If the program is online, why can’t they take the courses from their country of origin?

NBCAsianAmerica It is a privilege to come here for schooling. Remember, a privilege, not a right. And you're welcomed. Trump is likely doing you a favor by not getting yourself indoctrinated with the radical leftist garbage coming out of academia today.

NBCAsianAmerica But liberal AA says we have too many Asians in college.

NBCAsianAmerica The law is clear: If you're here to attend college on a student visa, and you're not attending college, then the visa is violated and you must return home and not stay behind and work off the books, like many do do even while attending college. Sayonara!

NBCAsianAmerica Really dumb and really mean on a personal level, throwing their lives into even greater chaos and danger. But also dumb and mean for world relations. However, totally predictable from this dumb and mean Trump administration.

NBCAsianAmerica Trump's decisions against immigrants, students, people who wish and love to live, study or travel to all of America are arbitrary, injustice, I do not know why everyone who loves America hates his wife, the first lady is not an immigrant to America.

NBCAsianAmerica The schools should open up then
