The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Enhanced student screening protects U.S. national security by identifying potentially hostile individuals before they enter the country. The comprehensive vetting ensures proper screening of every person attempting to visit America, addressing legitimate concerns about foreign students who may harbor anti-American sentiments or engage in activities contrary to U.S. interests.

Establishment-critical narrative

This draconian policy transforms consular officers into censors and will inevitably chill legitimate political speech both inside and outside the United States. It is extremely harmful for the U.S. to be eroding its long and enriching tradition of welcoming international students — this will be detrimental to the social fabric and economy of the United States.
