The Trump administration proposed a new rule Wednesday that would limit how long foreign students are allowed to study in the United States.
The rule targets visas for foreign students, cultural exchange programs and foreign media, and comes as the administration has taken aggressive actions related to student visas and continues its crackdown on some international students it says have broken the law.
Foreign students who have the F visa can currently stay in the US for 60 days after finishing their studies. But the new rule would change the admission period for foreign students and exchange visitors to a fixed time period of “up to the duration of the program they are participating in, not to exceed a 4-year period.”

“For too long, past Administrations have allowed foreign students and other visa holders to remain in the U.S. virtually indefinitely, posing safety risks, costing untold amount of taxpayer dollars, and disadvantaging U.S. citizens,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement.
