#2All those students, along with their talent and money and connections went _somewhere_ so that’s a shame for USA.

#3It's a shame that Canada also decided to shut the door on international students. The point was to ease the housing crisis (understandable) but the knock-on effect is to de-fund universities and surprisingly also public schools, which derive a great deal of revenue by charging international students.

I'm not sure you can equate university students with the nonsense happening at diploma-mills

#5Education, travel for education, and housing for education were important American export sectors, before Trump nuked them.

#6Next year will be even worse.
This was the first year of Trump's new term and most of the anti-immigration executive orders happened in the last few months. By August, most international students had already accepted offers, made travel and stay plans, and likely paid some part of their tuition already, and just continued due to sunk costs and hope that things will stabilize.
However, at this point, I think a lot more people will not even apply to US schools for next year.

99% of those students were not any more talented than the average US citizen

#8It's going to be a rough time for a lot of colleges that have been using foreign students paying full price to fund their operations. Especially now that the incoming college aged population is beginning to shrink and the percentage attending college has peaked, so the domestic population probably won't be able to fill the seats at less competitive colleges.
