20 18 the United States restricts STEM visas. What should international students do?
In his speech at the end of 20 17, Trump pointed out that the government will consider restricting foreign students from certain countries to study STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in the future to ensure that intellectual property rights will not be transferred to American competitors, and stressed the importance of recruiting the most advanced technicians for the United States.
American priority rule
Trump signed a "Mu Ban Order" in his first week in office, prohibiting citizens from seven countries from entering the United States and suspending the refugee reception program 120 days.
Trump signed the H 1B New Deal in his third month in office, greatly reducing the number of work visas.
Seven months after taking office, the "Deferred Repatriation of Children Arriving in the United States" (DACA) policy promulgated by former President Barack Obama was cancelled.
In his ninth month in office, after controlling "illegal immigrants", he was upgraded to "legal immigrants", and the annual green card issuance dropped sharply from 645,000 to14-540,000.
Until the end of 20 17, trump pointed the finger at international students.
Visa restrictions are mainly aimed at China people.
Although he is talking about international students, Trump's main goal is to restrict visas for foreigners in China, starting with China people. In order to prevent intellectual property rights from being stolen, foreigners, led by China people, will be restricted from coming to the United States to study STEM. And if China continues to develop like this, its dominant position will definitely weaken the authority of many other countries in this region and other regions.
So Trump is not allowed to make any mistakes.
So, what is the STEM major that makes Chinese and foreign students flock to it?
STEM is the abbreviation of the four major scientific fields in the United States: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is the key department of many international students, but it is the key choice for international students to study in the United States after graduation.
Moreover, international students in the STEM field have a three-year internship after graduation. , while other departments graduated only 1 year. Therefore, it is much easier and more convenient for STEM students to find jobs and apply for work visas than others.
Once Trump's policy comes true again, many popular American study abroad subjects such as computers and statistics will be reduced.
