...international students are largely bracketed to those who are wealthy enough to afford the cost of attending school in a different country. They are not eligible for federal aid and have to factor in expenses such as travel. As a result, socioeconomic diversity is sorely lacking amongst international students. Visas fees ought not add to the prohibitive barriers for students to study in the U.S. Most worrisome is that these federal regulations place the culture of welcoming international students at stake. As the digits of the fees climb, resentment and anti-American sentiment will too. That the fees actually fund...

...years of American politics have witnessed an extraordinarily duplicitous—and, unfortunately, extraordinarily successful—program by conservative politicians and commentators to annex small-town America by shamelessly pandering to ugly stereotypes that paint rural voters as religiously minded, gun toting, nativists. Now that tradition can count amongst its ranks another prominent practitioner in the form of Hillary Clinton, who, in the face of increasingly onerous roadblocks in her path to the nomination, has elected to employ the tired old cultural bludgeons which have long misrepresented rural voters as something that they themselves rarely recognize...
