U.K. has suspended visas to student applicants from India, should U.S. follow suit?
Is is known to us that student applicants from India are not really coming to pay tuition and study. They are taking advantage of our system, and exhaust our college resources. Once they come, they will illegally work on jobs which would other wise go to Americans.

My experience with Indian students is that they are bright and hardworking. I like them. This is a temporary suspension in the UK, which is a much smaller country than ours and receives, for historical reasons, an unusually high number of visa applications from Indians. The idea is simply to sort out the possibly deceptive applications from those of genuine students. So, no, I don't think we should follow suit.

Something like that should probably be considered. There are many excellent Indian students, but many others are attracted by so-called "rupee whore" universities who accept just about any Indian student willing to pay high tuition fees. There is no delusion on either side รข€” the schools know many of these bogus Indian students will sooner or later disappear into the illegal economy, maybe working for their cousins in some rundown motel. There is a lot of marriage fraud for green cards.
