- Terr_ 1y agoWhat kinds of statistics can we watch that might illustrate the brain-drain from these policies, on various timelines? Some of it is going to be people who don't even bother to apply anymore, because nobody wants to study in a place where you get arbitrarily black-bagged halfway through your degree by thugs filling an arbitrary quota. I imagine there are also some students will be out there who really don't use public social media all that much, and the lack of activity will falsely be taken a sign of concealment...

- Terr_ 1y agoTrying to bracket-down the problem a bit, does this seem fair? 1. Ideological purity tests, as opposed to anti-fraud measures. 2. Investigation when issuing visa, rather than border-searches by customs etc. 3. Applies to tourists and students, as opposed to other visas which are part of a path to permanent residency.
