International students often end up subsidizing US students. Restricting student visas might end up actually increasing tuition.

Also, I disagree that $1m/year for the president of Harvard is ridiculous. That's less than the CEOs of many regional hospital systems are paid, and I think the impact of Harvard is much greater.

With you on restricting student loans for non-STEM programs, though.

What does not make sense is we let foreigners invest $500k to buy a green card and ability to live in the US.

But a young, potentially productive and educated student who would ostensibly be looking to start a family and make more productive and more patriotic Americans, who has sunk a couple hundred thousand dollars into our higher education institutions still has to go through the gauntlet to earn the right to live in the US.
