Fuzziness and discretion around the criteria contribute to spread terror among (potential) applicants who don't know or understand on what grounds they may be vetted.
It also reinforces the spectacle of unbridled power

The chilling effect of this will ripple across all U.S. colleges and universities.
The damage to U.S. soft power is immense.
The total disregard for its impact on current students is deeply troubling. Many future students will simply choose to go elsewhere.

Canada and Australia went exactly in the opposite direction to #Trump and labour/liberal parties succeeded

Designing an #immigration system that systematically renders migrant workers exploitable, underpaid, docile, and silent—that's what's truly #squalid.
And blaming migrant workers for the situation the UK policy have created is squalid too
