Why did Trump say this? Nobody wants this: "Trump says he'll allow 600,000 Chinese students into the U.S."

600,000 Chinese students sounds like a HUGE #... until you break it down by states.
That's only 12,000 Chinese students per each of the 50 U.S. states.
California has over 600 accredited colleges. It's only an average of 20 Chinese students per each college.
New York and Texas has 400 accredited colleges. It's an average of 30 Chinese students per each college.
Florida and Pennsylvania have about 320 accredited colleges. It's an average of roughly 35 Chinese students per each college.
In many of those cases, large universities have well over 50,000 students. Texas A&M has 73,000 students. Arizona State has 75,000 students. University of Florida has 61,000 students. Ohio State has 66,000 students.
Penn State has 88,000 students.
When it all comes down to it, there are over 19 MILLION college students in the U.S. enrolled in undergraduate programs. 600,000 Chinese students sounds like a LOT... but that's only 1 Chinese student per every 31 other students, or roughly about 3% of college enrollment in the U.S..
Nice breakdown but there's still 1 problem. Its 600,000 too many. Doesn't seem very America first to me..
I have the solution!
There are about 130,000 Native American (American Indian) students enrolled in colleges in the U.S.. Native Americans have a very low college admissions or enrollment rate.
We should require that EVERY U.S. college, for every 1 Chinese student enrolled, must also enroll 1 American Indian student.
That would instantly cut down the # of Chinese students in U.S. colleges to only 130,000. If universities want MORE Chinese students... or if China wants to send more students... then someone has to pay for Native Americans to attend those same colleges. 1 to 1 ratio... or forget it.
Perfect Idea!

Good analysis. It's easier to calculate if it's zero.
