Last night, I stumbled upon a very interesting post. Unfortunately, it has been deleted but let me give you the gist of the plea.
It was a young woman from India. She just made the Twitter (X) account that day because she was desperate for someone in America to help her. She claimed she had been accepted to Harvard Law and received a scholarship to pay for 90% of her school. Sounds great, right? Wrong!
Apparently, she had been unable to get an appointment with the personnel in America who could approve her visa. If she did not have that approved visa in about 30 days (give or take), she would lose her spot at Harvard. She was hoping someone in government or a legislator would see her post and help.
Quickly she encountered a whole bunch of unsympathetic Americans.

This is the woman. There probably is no record of admission to Harvard because she hadn't started yet. I wish the original post hadn't been deleted, but I'll share some of the replies people posted before she gave up and ghosted the internet.
Why are women from India essentially getting full ride scholarships to Harvard Law School? https://t.co/Szytoi0qp2

Some wondered why those scholarships weren't reserved for American students. That seems like a fair question.
I would much rather see an American student whose parents make 110,000k a year so they don’t qualify for any help so their kid will have hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans when they get out of law school receive this scholarship https://t.co/NkSnmIFesl

This was my response. Middle class students are in a real bind. They don't get help reserved for students who come from poverty, and they don't have wealthy parents who can afford to cover their school. So, they take out tons of loans and start young adulthood in a real bind. None of those students need a scholarship?
India has law schools. You’re going to crush it.

Others suggested she go to school in India, her own country.
You do not belong in Harvard Law School becuase you’re taking a slot from an American citizen.

You are not a U.S. Citizen, so what use is it for you to study US Law?

Many suggested she remain in India and work on making her own country great.
Our immigration policies need to be reformed to allow the best and brightest to be educated in the USA and stay here to create value for our country. As long as their values are aligned with the long-term interests of our country, their visas should be fast tracked.

One prominent tweep went to bat for her, but his opinion was not popular.
I’m not so hot on someone from India getting the 90% scholarship and not an American getting to go to Harvard.

Sorry. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
A growing number of young Americans are frustrated and angry. They struggle to find good-paying jobs, build careers, and afford homes in the country they grew up in. This isn’t just bad luck—it’s the result of misplaced priorities.
We must put American students first. Our colleges and universities have aggressively expanded foreign enrollment, often at the direct expense of domestic applicants who face higher barriers to admission, rising costs, and limited financial aid.
When young Americans see opportunity after opportunity redirected elsewhere while they’re left treading water, resentment builds. Economic despair creates fertile ground for radical ideologies like Marxism, which thrive on hopelessness and the narrative that the system is rigged against them.
The solution is straightforward: refocus our education system and economic policies on helping American citizens succeed. Prioritize domestic students for admissions and aid. Invest in practical skills training, apprenticeships, and career pathways that lead to real wages and homeownership.
Restore the promise that hard work and talent in America will be rewarded here first.
