It's largely due to the Dragon Ball anime broadcast overseas. The series has an incredibly large following in LATAM and South/Southeast Asian countries in general.

This reads like "open your campuses or go fuck yourself". International students make up 6% of all the students in the US with certain institutions probably averaging very large numbers of international students.
This is the sad current state of affairs in this country. A pandemic became a political weapon.
I don't see anything to be gained from this call other than solidifying the current administration political stance. Unless I'm missing something, this seems to be an incredibly destructive decision creates little to no benefits to the American society... For instance, that "6% of all students" alone contributes a great deal to the US economy:
> According to the Commerce Department, international students contributed $45 billion to the U.S. economy in 2018.

Are you kidding? I've lived in Ireland, Kuwait, Holland, Greece... and only Greece was "hard" in any meaningful way.
Added an explanation to my comment.

People are not going to move. After every single election in France people say they will move to the US, or to germany, or to... I've never seen anyone moved anywhere.
ps: parts of my family moved out of Hong Kong when it became Chinese again. But that was quite a different situation.
Those who have not lived outside of the US (or NA) don't realize how hard life is for the rest of the world; most will just move right back within months.
Been there myself. Life ain't easy out there.
Edit - A little bit of context here: I am speaking as someone who was born and raised in a developing country rife with racial and political problems. My point is, a lot of people who are yelling about immigrating due to the election result are overly naive with their outlook. It takes an incredible amount of effort to adjust to a new environment, not to speak of giving up the connections and comfort they have in the US. It's not as easy as just "moving to another country".
Some do, and they think that they are using it as a replacement. I've been doing research on its use among college students and I've heard firsthand that some of them (especially from students in non-STEM fields) think ChatGPT can be as useful as, if not better than, search engines at times for _seeking_ information.
You may be talking to a specific subset of the population, but once you branch out and observe/hear from broader demographics, you'd be surprised to learn about people's mental model of the genAI technologies.
