UNITED STATES, JUN 16 – Aggressive immigration enforcement under Trump and declining international student interest have contributed to a global decline in the U.S. image as a preferred destination, Pew Research Center found.
- President Donald Trump initiated a widespread immigration enforcement campaign amid the U.S. population surpassing 340 million in 2024.
- This campaign addressed fears held by Trump and his supporters that undocumented immigrants pose risks to the nation's security, employment opportunities, and cultural identity, contributing to widespread tensions across the United States.
- Meanwhile, international student interest in studying in the U.S. declined to its lowest point since the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating a shift in global perception.
- A June survey found 46% of U.S. adults approved of Trump's immigration actions, while leaders like NAFSA’s CEO Fanta Aw noted students seek predictability and security for their futures.
- These developments suggest immigration enforcement is reshaping public opinion and may reduce the U.S.’s appeal as a destination for international students and migrants alike.
