it's magnified because of the current political climate. but that's what the liberals and conservatives have been running on. the international student problem has become an issue because this administration basically made it so easy to become an international studen compared to 10 years ago. you have 30k, you can get in...one issue is, some don't really have 30k. they loan it with the hope they get to stay here, become an immigrant (they were actually guaranteed according to some reports by the agencies that assisted or processed their application) now because of threat of deportation, going back to the country and owing 30k, can you imagine how bad it's gonna be? The international student program was a disaster because of it.
