As I understand these NSF-funded research projects are only part of the entire curriculum. So it would be a misrepresentation to say that the US is "getting rid of" these students. They will still study and get a degree, they'll just have a harder time finding an appropriate research project. That's still bad, but not the same as what is claimed by the tweet.
