The Wall Street Journal\u2019s editorial board on Friday<\/a> slammed recent comments by Vice President Vance on foreign students as a \u201cfalse choice\u201d amid tensions between the Trump administration and higher education institutions.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Newsmax\u2019s \u201cGreg Kelly Reports\u201d late last month, Vance said that an \u201cidea that American citizens don\u2019t have the talent to do great things, that you have to import a foreign class of servants and professors to do these things, I just reject that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Journal noted Vance\u2019s comments in a Friday opinion piece, alongside other comments in which he said \u201cwe invest in our own people\u201d and that he believes \u201cthat’s actually an opportunity for American citizens to really flourish\u201d when it comes to international student visa restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a classic false choice. Of course the U.S. has talent and should invest in it. But welcoming foreign students doesn\u2019t hinder Americans,\u201d the editorial board said in their piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cold, hard numbers show that too few Americans are pursuing STEM fields to meet the future needs of business and government. Of all U.S. bachelor\u2019s degrees, biology and engineering fields make up about 13%,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, limits were placed on foreign student visas<\/a> at Harvard University by President Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdmission into the United States to attend, conduct research, or teach at our Nation\u2019s institutions of higher education is a privilege granted by our Government, not a guarantee,\u201d Trump said in a Wednesday proclamation restricting the visas.<\/p>\n

In recent months, the Trump administration has targeted multiple higher education institutions over alleged inaction on campus antisemitism and policies<\/a> around transgender athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes the Trump Administration want to stop illegal immigration, or nearly all legal immigration, including foreign students? The evidence is growing that it wants the latter, which will sharply reduce the human capital the U.S. needs to prosper,\u201d the Journal’s editorial board wrote.<\/p>\n
