Name a single time that Donald trump has said that he wants to prevent highly intelligent, highly educated people from other countries coming here. Name a single instance of it. I defy you to.

Regardless of what the guy says, the fact is there have been numerous quiet policy changes that target legal immigration.

Why have the RFE rates at target companies sky rocketed ? Why has the EAD waiting time gone for <90days to ~120 days? Actions speak louder than words here.

Welcome to HN. A quick Google search on "Chinese grad student restrictions" yielded an article [1] from December 2018 with the headline "US Considers New Restrictions on Chinese Students". The source is the US government's own news outlet, Voice of America.

  If your user name is accurate then I should be welcoming you because I’ve been here a decade. Good job, you actually responded in a rational way. I hadn’t heard of this. Still, this is not what I asked for. This is not hateful rhetoric. Furthermore, it is not a statement by trump or his administration that highly skilled and educated people are not to immigrate here. It’s an expression of intent to stop Chinese people specifically from committing espionage. It has nothing to do with letting people immigrate here who actually intend on immigrating here and nothing else. The reason I’ve never heard of it is because Chinese espionage is a real problem and doesn’t fit well into the liberal dogma.
