Fellow Americans,
Our nation is facing a critical decision that will shape the future of our security, education, and economy. The proposal to issue 600,000 student visas to Chinese nationals raises serious concerns that cannot be ignored. This mass issuance risks compromising our national security, overwhelming our educational institutions, and placing foreign interests above the needs of American students and families.
We cannot remain silent. Every citizen has a voice, and now is the time to use it. We urge you to write your own letter to President Trump and Congress expressing your opposition to this policy. Together, we must stand firm and make it clear that America’s priorities must remain with its people first.
Here was my letter I sent:
08/27/2025
Dear Mr. President and Congress,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the proposal to admit 600,000 Chinese students into American colleges and universities. While I strongly support international engagement and cultural exchange, I believe this policy would present serious risks to our national security, economic stability, and educational priorities.
National Security Concerns
The Chinese Communist Party has long been documented as using academic exchanges to access sensitive research and technology. Admitting such a large number of students without strict vetting and limits in key scientific and engineering fields could expose the United States to espionage, intellectual property theft, and undue influence in our institutions.
Educational and Economic Priorities
Our universities should prioritize American students first. Expanding visas to this scale risks crowding out opportunities for U.S. citizens and making our schools financially dependent on foreign tuition dollars. This dependence creates vulnerability, as decisions about admission and curriculum could become driven more by revenue needs than by the interests of American students.
Balanced Approach
I urge you to protect America’s security and academic independence by rejecting this proposal. A more measured approach would be to limit student visas from adversarial nations in critical STEM areas while maintaining selective cultural exchange in fields less tied to national security.
Mr. President, your leadership has always put America First. I strongly encourage you to apply that principle here by ensuring that higher education policies serve the interests of our nation and its people above all.
Respectfully,
Keep America Great
Together we can and will
Let me know what you think!
