1. Who And What Is
Responsible For The
Drop In Number Of
Foreign Students?

2. The number of foreign students attending college in
the United States has seen a decline over the past
couple of years and there is a lot of disagreement
regarding the cause of the decline. According to a
recent Reuters report, the number of foreign
students declined by 3.3% for the 2016-2017
academic school year and doubled to 6.6% for the
2017-2018 school year.

3. As the number of foreign students has decreased,
Salt Lake City deportation defense attorney
with Familia America Immigration has received
an increase in the number of calls from concerned
current foreign college students and foreign college
graduates who have remained in the U.S. The
concerns they share are likely related to the dip in
numbers of United States foreign college students.

4. Foreign College Students’ Concerns
Calls from current and recently graduated foreign college students
focus largely on the following issues:
1) The environment towards immigrants that seems to
be increasingly more hostile to foreigners and
minorities. Immigrants fear for their safety and being
stripped of their legal rights. They often feel
discriminated against and they fear retaliation for
raising discrimination issues.

5. 2) The number of deportations of undocumented
citizens is increasing, especially at the Salt Lake City
ICE office where according to the Salt Lake City
Tribune, deportations have nearly doubled since Trump
took office in 2016. Even those with non-violent crimes
and those without criminal records have not been
spared from deportation in the past two years.

6. 3) Trump’s immigration policy changes related to
‘unlawful presence’ after graduation and its retroactive
application is especially distressing to many foreign
college students and graduates who call with questions
about the possibility of being barred from the U.S. for
three years or ten years.

7. 4) Another reason for the decline may be the feeling
that the American dream no longer exists because
immigrants are no longer welcome. Clients call to
discuss options for studying in the United States and
the likelihood of being able to stay here after
graduation and it is clear that many of them feel
unwelcome and they fear that even stricter laws and
policy changes may be on the horizon.
