Missing in the debate here is the issue of the benefits these international students bring to Oregon and the USA, and what is being lost with the decline--
Besides the billions of dollars from all that lost tuition, there's the cultural enrichment  they bring our community, and most of all the future goodwill ambassadors we've sent  all over the  world.  Most anyone who has travelled overseas has a story about someone they met in some obscure corner of the globe  who was full of praise for Oregon and the good time they had here.
We're going to lose some  of that goodwill now, and with "America  First"  our formerly welcoming nation is increasingly viewed as unfriendly to outsiders.   I admit to  being sad about that.
