primary and secondary education costs virtually nothing compared to college so thats a pretty weak point to make.

You could make the exact reverse point, that universities in the US have built their expertise over decades if not centuries and Foreign students are largely benefiting more from them than whatever they could get in their home countries.

Except that this isn't true at all.

I said compared to college. Not in absolute terms.

So... can you point me to a source showing high school students having years of debt?

It's a win-win thing for the U.S. and the students. (arguably a loss for the country of origin who sees their best and brightest fly away.) No one here is denying the impact of restrictions on students, we are pointing out it is also bad for the US.
