    Harvard.EDU's Xinni (Sunshine) Chen on whether Donald Trump will attempt
    to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance to serve as his Deputy Chief Sales
    Critter for Trump's plan to commission Big .EDU presidents and deans,
    desperate to fill American classroom seats and laboratory stools with
    the 8.1+B globe's top two quintiles of full-freight tuition paying
    strivers, as privateers poaching scab workers for the Cheap Labor Lobby: <URL:https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/2/20/international-student/>
    | International students can work for 12 months after graduation
    | without applying for a work visa. Students majoring in STEM can work
    | for an additional two years. Once time runs out, international
    | students have to enter into a H-1B work visa lottery.
    |
    | Even after gaining acceptance to an American institute, obtaining an
    | F-1 student visa, going through customs countless times, finding a
    | job that sponsors, and graduating from college, our fates are
    | ultimately left to a lottery.
    |
    | Here at Harvard, my international friend's Datamatch profile
    | jokingly said: "I need someone... who can get me an American green
    | card."

    Will Tom Homan celebrate Kristi Noem's DHS.GOV CBP.GOV and ICE.GOV
    officers who catch immigration fraudsters at American ports of entry?
