Background
Universities will lose money because less international students will be able to enrol. International students have a significant economic and academic contribution to Universities. Residents lose the right to work making them vunerable to deportation. The fraction of these countries who are asylum seekers are very small so its inefficient to target these four countries. Myanmar and Cameroon not being in top nationalties list less than 1% with asylum claims, afghanistan with 6% and Sudan 8%.
