I have long written and spoken about the many ways US immigration policy harms international students and scholars. This has been true for as long as I can remember, including when I first came to the US on a single-entry student visa more than 20 years ago under a process formerly known as muslim registry program. But the current administration has gone much further, through arbitrary policy changes, travel bans, and broad visa processing pauses that leave folks unable to work, travel, or train. These policies affect a minority of scientists, and in the current state of the world they can be easy to overlook. But we should not let that happen. I wrote about the quiet loss of Iranian scientific talent in US labs for @TheScientistLLC: the-scientist.com/the-quiet-loss…


Trying so hard to be normal







@razibkhan In theory the quality will decline eventually but idk if we're anywhere near that point yet. In the past couple decades the quantity AND quality of Indian immigrants has gone up You didn't see stats this absurd in previous decades





Indians doubling and tripling down on arrogance, resentment, and entitlement in response to growing anti-Indian sentiment will never not be funny.

Hindus and Indian Americans have had ENOUGH. The normalization of racism, anti-Indian hatred, and xenophobic grievance politics inside parts of the Texas Republican ecosystem is disgusting. Harassing legal immigrants in the name of “finding fraud” is not patriotism. It is racial SCAPEGOATING. Many Indian Americans helped build modern Texas as doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and job creators. Now they are being targeted by the very political ecosystem benefiting from their success. The Republican Party of Texas is increasingly becoming the party of online extremism and xenophobia. Indian Americans SHOULD REMEMBER that at the ballot box.

Today, the Trump administration increased the FY2026 refugee ceiling by 10,000 slots reserved for Afrikaners from South Africa. At the same time, Afghan allies remain shut out of every pathway built for people who served alongside the United States.
