Donald Trump's rhetoric is steadily chasing Indians out of the US--towards Canada

[OnlinePoker]

Indian students are slowly getting over their fascination with the US.

The number of Indians enrolled in graduate-level computer science and engineering courses at American universities declined by more than 25% between 2016-17 and 2018-19, according to an analysis of government data by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

The key factors for this decline are “more restrictive immigration and international student policies under the (Donald) Trump administration and the difficulty of obtaining green cards in the United States,” the think tank focused on public policy research on trade and immigration said in a report published on June 8.
