A relative of ours was a foreign grad student at Harvard. After he earned his PhD, he did not go back to his birth country. Driving out foreign students hurts the US.
That's true of most immigrants. Bluntly put, the ones who manage to reach another country are the most resourceful, the survivors. Those with fewer skills and resources are more likely to die before escaping -- except for a few small children and seniors carried as part of a larger group. These are valuable human resources. The ones who come as students for higher education are even more valuable.
