Can anyone explain a rational political motivation behind this? I realize "less immigrants" is the hand-wavy explanation, but how does this benefit those in charge?

It aligns with their effort to ruin the economic situation of American universities.

Please refer me to the part of the Constitution that enumerates the responsibility of the US government to preserve the business model of the modern university system?

The recourse to the constitution is silly. It has barely any relevance to the country we've become.
