The COVID-19 Pandemic has been nothing more than a life changing experience to almost everyone is the world. In the United States with the ongoing pandemic and people going through rough times, socially and economically. ICE which is the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement has implemented new regiments that require international students to ask permission of extension to stay or leave the country. Department of Homeland Security says their doing this to “decrease the risk to national security”, which sounds like a bunch horse crap. These policies would force international students to stop research and other future academic plans, during this wait students might miss important information regarding their work. Universities are losing diversity to their school as well as funding causing racial and financial problems internally. These polices clearly did not take graduate students into consideration which sometimes needs more than four years to complete their requirements, which adds more stress for these international students. Overall this policy needs to either be rewritten or thrown in the trash.
