Seems to me that the international student business is about selling a path to American citizenship.
How expensive can it get before the millions of students stop coming? How bad can the education be? How bad can the politics be?
I think the answer is a lot worse. USA is still attractive to billions of people on the planet.

It's the EB-5 visa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-5_visa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-5_visa The purchase price of US permanent residence is as little as $900k, and until last November 21 it was as low as $500k. Sure, the international students often don't pay that much, but in many cases they don't end up with good access to permanent residence either, let alone citizenship.
