The largest group affected by this new regulation is students on F-1 visas. These approximately 1.2 million people account for around 6% of students in the United States. International students’ tuition payments also support domestic students. On average, for each additional international student who enrolls in a public university, two additional in-state students enroll. If students choose to study in another country, they are very likely to end up staying there, depriving the United States of their economic benefit.
