How Trump’s immigration crackdown is killing the American dream for these three students

President Donald Trump had promised to grant green cards to foreign students graduating from American colleges, but that promise never materialized. Instead, his administration has introduced policies that have triggered lawsuits, countersuits, and confusion among international students. Trump recently signed an executive order barring nearly all foreigners from entering the country to attend Harvard. International students are feeling targeted, anxious, and insecure, and many are rethinking their dreams of building a life in America. Markuss Saule, a freshman from Latvia, feels expendable and is planning to leave the US as soon as possible. Avi, a 24-year-old Indian physics major, is afraid of losing everything he has worked towards and is considering moving back to India. Vladyslav Plyaka, a Ukrainian student, is stuck in the US and is worried about not being able to visit his family due to suspended visa appointments. International students are feeling a sense of inferiority and are constantly worried about being deported. Trump's policies have a clear subtext: leave. The administration's stance on welcoming foreign students has dramatically shifted, and international students are paying the price.
