US Revokes 8,000 Student Visas To Keep America Suspiciously Safe

KEY POINTS

•Graduate international student enrollment in US colleges fell by 5.9% in fall 2025, losing nearly 10,000 students.
•The State Department revoked over 100,000 visas, including 8,000 student visas, to apparently 'keep America safe,' announced January 12, 2026.
•Applicants must now set their social media accounts to public, a requirement extended to other visa applicants just before Christmas 2025.

In a masterclass of mixed messaging, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reported a 5.9% drop in graduate international enrollments this fall 2025—exactly 9,999 fewer hopefuls dialing into college dreams thanks to the Trump administration's immigration hammer. Meanwhile, undergrads climbed 3.2% with 5,000 fresh foreign faces escaping visa nightmares—because who doesn’t want a few extra tuition checks with an ominous side of social media surveillance? The State Department’s tweet on January 12, 2026 proudly announced the visa massacre exceeded 100,000, including 8,000 student visas and 2,500 'specialized' ones, all revoked in a patriotic purge to 'keep America safe.' Applicants now must leave social media accounts wide open—because privacy is apparently only for criminals—and the National Student Clearinghouse went radio silent when asked for comment, too busy probably reinstating their own visa status.

Nothing says 'friendly campus welcome' like revoking 8,000 student visas while demanding open social media accounts. America: still the land of opportunity, just with more background checks.

Congrats to the State Department for revoking more student visas than some countries have students. Maybe next year, fewer exams, more interrogations.
