I just hope students who have come for a legit purpose of studying don't get caught up in the mess.

But I've been really giving thought to what I can do as an average citizen to make the slightest change in public policy.

I hate to dash your hopes, but... Trump promised a Muslim ban. That's what his followers want. He's doing what he can to deliver.

Students, family members, and others following the rules are the targets. The goal is to increase hassle, expense, uncertainty and humiliation for Certain Visitors in order to have less of them.

They already have. That's why so many universities were outspoken about the ban, and many states filed amici briefs on behalf of the state universities.

In 2002 many of my classmates from Middle Eastern countries were not able to return after going home for the summer. This is going to create a similar issue for many students.
