This is evident based on a slew of Biden\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/\">executive orders<\/a>, many of which revoked immigration and travel restrictions imposed by the Trump administration. Additionally,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/01\/20\/fact-sheet-president-biden-sends-immigration-bill-to-congress-as-part-of-his-commitment-to-modernize-our-immigration-system\/\">Biden sent a bill<\/a>\u00a0to Congress aimed at reforming the nation\u2019s immigration system.<\/p>\n<p>As a university administrator who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.umbc.edu\/david-di-maria-umbcs-new-vice-provost-for-international-education-studies-debunks-common-study-abroad-myths\/\">specializes in international education<\/a>, I foresee five major ways the United States may once again become the top choice for students from around the world during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Reform of the immigration system<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In 2019, the total number of enrolled international students \u2013 that is, newly-arrived students as well as those already studying in the U.S. \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/best-colleges\/articles\/annual-study-international-student-numbers-in-us-drop\">dropped for the first time<\/a>\u00a0since 2005. And the economic impact of international students\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/student-union\/new-international-student-enrollment-falls-43-us\">decreased by US$1.8 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the declining number of international students\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/student-union\/us-universities-brace-big-decline-international-students\">wreaked havoc on U.S. colleges and universities<\/a>, as well as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-08-11\/coronavirus-pandemic-international-students-keeping-college-towns-in-business\">communities<\/a>\u00a0in which they are based, there is renewed optimism that things will change.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the Biden administration has expressed a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academized.com\/joe-biden-immigration\">commitment to modernizing the nation\u2019s immigration system<\/a>\u00a0in ways that respond to economic needs and prevent the U.S. from losing talent to other nations. This includes making it easier for international students who are working on advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics \u2013 or STEM \u2013 to stay and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.natlawreview.com\/article\/new-biden-immigration-bill-announced-day-one-administration\">work after graduation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How much Biden can actually reform the immigration system remains to be seen. But international applications to U.S. colleges for this fall are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/applications-for-next-years-freshman-class-are-on-the-rise-with-warning-signs-for-equity?cid2=gen_login_refresh&amp;cid=gen_sign_in\">already up 9%<\/a>\u00a0compared to a year ago. This suggests a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thepienews.com\/news\/us-intl-education-biden-president\/\">renewed interest<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. as a study destination. It also serves as a hopeful sign that international enrollment will soon rebound, presuming Biden\u2019s handling of the pandemic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/insights.navitas.com\/covid-19-is-changing-the-fortunes-of-international-education-destinations-part-1\/\">instills more confidence abroad<\/a>\u00a0than that of his predecessor.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Elimination of discriminatory bans<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On his first day in office, Biden revoked the Trump administration\u2019s so-called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/proclamation-ending-discriminatory-bans-on-entry-to-the-united-states\/\">Muslim ban<\/a>\u00a0and other discriminatory restrictions on travel and entry in favor of strengthening information-sharing relationships with foreign governments.<\/p>\n<p>While many of the country-specific restrictions did not directly affect people with student visas, the policy had a broad cooling effect. Consider the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2018\/02\/01\/year-later-trump-administrations-travel-restrictions-opposed-many-higher-ed-are\">sharp decline<\/a>\u00a0in student visas issued to applicants from countries included in the bans. For instance, student visas issued to Iranian nationals fell by 59%, from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/visas\/Statistics\/AnnualReports\/FY2016AnnualReport\/FY16AnnualReport-TableXVII.pdf\">3,139 in 2016<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/visas\/Statistics\/AnnualReports\/FY2019AnnualReport\/FY19AnnualReport-TableXVII.pdf\">1,970 in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approach to national security aims to keep would-be threats from entering the U.S. while allowing for citizen diplomacy efforts, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/citeseerx.ist.psu.edu\/viewdoc\/download?doi=10.1.1.352.4946&amp;rep=rep1&amp;type=pdf\">student exchange programs<\/a>, to resume. This tactic will ultimately\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/opendoorsdata.org\/data\/international-students\/all-places-of-origin\/\">increase the diversity of nations<\/a>\u00a0represented on college campuses. Such diversity\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/how-diversity-makes-us-smarter\/\">enhances learning opportunities<\/a>\u00a0for all.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Protections for Dreamers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children \u2013 often known as Dreamers \u2013 faced an uncertain future under Trump. The Trump administration\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/07\/15\/891563635\/trump-administration-rejects-1st-time-daca-applications-violates-scotus-order\">refused to accept new applications<\/a>\u00a0for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program \u2013 which extends certain protections to Dreamers \u2013 that was established under the Obama administration. And this occurred even after the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/06\/18\/829858289\/supreme-court-upholds-daca-in-blow-to-trump-administration\">program was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden issued a memorandum aimed at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/preserving-and-fortifying-deferred-action-for-childhood-arrivals-daca\/\">preserving and fortifying DACA<\/a>\u00a0the same day he was sworn in. While further actions are needed to achieve these goals, the memorandum should provide the country\u2019s more than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidentsalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Undocumented-Students-in-Higher-Education-April-2020.pdf\">200,000 DACA-eligible college students<\/a>\u00a0with the hope that a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joebiden.com\/immigration\/\">pathway to citizenship<\/a>\u00a0is not far off.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Options for graduates to stay<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Even before he was elected,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4386240\/donald-trump-immigration-arguments\/\">former President Donald Trump regularly claimed<\/a>\u00a0that immigrants were taking jobs away from American workers. This is a notion largely\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamiltonproject.org\/papers\/what_immigration_means_for_u.s._employment_and_wages\/\">disproved by economists<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/22\/business\/economy\/trump-immigration-employers.html\">disputed by employers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2019\/12\/17\/views-on-race-and-immigration\/\">rejected by 64% of the general population<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In sharp contrast to his predecessor,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joebiden.com\/immigration\/\">Biden has proposed<\/a>\u00a0making it easier for international students with advanced degrees in STEM fields to receive work visas and apply for permanent residency. If successful, Biden would enable the U.S. to retain a greater number of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org\/research\/foreign-born-stem-workers-united-states\">STEM workers<\/a>\u00a0who are critical for continued economic growth. Just consider that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nfap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-BILLION-DOLLAR-STARTUPS.NFAP-Policy-Brief.2018.pdf\">nearly 25% of billion-dollar startup companies<\/a>\u00a0had a founder who first arrived to the U.S. as an international student.<\/p>\n<p>STEM products and services are the focus of many of these companies, which create an average of 1,200 new jobs each.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Boost for global science<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.net\/news\/memo-biden-science-think-global-survey-results\">According to a recent survey<\/a>, the top recommendation that researchers around the world have for the Biden administration is to expand scientific collaborations between the U.S. and other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange of ideas between students and scholars from different parts of the world is important for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencediplomacy.org\/article\/2016\/how-collaborating-in-international-science-helps-america\">advancing knowledge<\/a>\u00a0and addressing global threats that range from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/news\/2021\/01\/informing-the-new-administration-advising-the-nation-on-climate-change\">climate change<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/sti\/science-technology-innovation-outlook\/crisis-and-opportunity\/STIO-Brochure-FINAL.pdf\">COVID-19<\/a>.
