Education is the manifestation of culture, and is an important component part of culture. International education and international students are vital for the country’s economy. The trump administration, under the slogan "America first," overhauled the U.S. immigration policy that has been in place for nearly half a century, with the core idea of prioritizing immigrants who can succeed in the United States and stand on their own feet economically, ensuring that immigrants identify with American values. Stop immigration in areas where terrorism is rampant and background checks are difficult to carry out. Deport illegal immigrants and reduce the number of immigrants; Encourage "quality immigration", eliminate "link immigration", abolish the green card lottery system, adopt points system and so on. The new immigration policy triggered heated debate, the American higher education and strict immigration policy or a willingness to stay in the United States, will affect the students work visa or reform will lead to high quality international talent loss, cumbersome application program, or will affect the quality of education for international students, the policy of science and engineering major is preferred, or will affect balance of American colleges and universities. The implementation of the trump administration's new immigration policy will not only affect the development of education, but also change the international competition pattern of education.
