With public funding getting cut (atleast my university does'nt get the MIT kinda money), most American universities are targetting international students as a source of revenue. Placing restrictions on the quality of education besides being detrimental to science is also harmful to the economy.
There is a system called SEVIS to track international students now. It seems to be a reasonably effective one. Why get paranoid ?
If MIT operates similar to my University then the chances of getting any such project done without international student participation is difficult if not impossible.
