Latitudes

A federal judge in Texas has ruled as illegal a program that has protected hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.

In withdrawing a Trump-era visa-rule change, the Biden administration notes overwhelming opposition to the proposal.

The University of California will cap international enrollments to admit more in-state students. But is it necessarily true that if someone gets in, someone else has to be left out?

International students can can work in the dining hall or campus bookstore — but wouldn’t be permitted under visa rules to profit from their “name, image, and likeness” by appearing at a soccer clinic or autograph signing, as the new laws allow.

Students are pushing back against a Trump-era policy that denies visas to people who studied at universities affiliated with the Chinese military.

“If we frame everything as a bilateral race between U.S. and China, we’re missing half of the system because we’ve really globalized.”

One in five entrepreneurs who start venture-backed companies in the U.S. are immigrants, a new study shows. Of that group, more than three-quarters came to America for college.

A new survey sends mixed signals: Americans, for example, have generally favorable opinions of international students but also believe they might have been sent to the U.S. to poach ideas.

Legislation to provide legal protections and a path to citizenship for DACA recipients and other young immigrants has remained stymied in Washington, although President Biden is supportive of such changes. And many immigration-law experts think a federal judge in Texas could rule the current program unlawful.
