I'm not sure, I think someone there has realised schools could essentially sell visas - if the course is fully online, the student just needs to pay for it, so they don't really need to be a real student. I'm all for opening or abolishing borders (and keep recommending No Wall They Can Build (2016), free as a pdf to people), but I'm not sure if this is simple or that thing you said.

A sensible solution would be to "grandfather" existing and in-process Visas, and then restrict new Visas by putting limits on total foreign students a school can accept. Base those limits on the number of foreign students each school had last year. The proposal is like many others from this administration: blatant arm-twisting with an obvious intent but an obligatory excuse for the courts.

These are non-immigration visas that don't allow you to work in the country, or entitle you to any particular benefits besides 'you can learn and spend your money here, for a few years'.
