Why This Matters
Your Education Costs:
International students pay full tuition that subsidizes financial aid for American students—banning them could force universities to raise costs for your family or reduce scholarship availability
Innovation Economy:
International graduate students contribute to research that drives American technological leadership—Trump's ban threatens the scientific advances that create jobs in your community
Presidential University Control:
Trump is using federal power to pressure individual universities into political compliance—this precedent could target any college that criticizes government policies your children might attend
Judicial Checks Working:
Federal courts blocked Trump's overreach, showing how independent judges protect constitutional rights even when presidents abuse power—but these protections only work if courts remain independent
