This is going to have a chilling effect on international students thinking of coming to the United States.

Many people who do end up getting kicked out will probably take their jobs with them back home, especially in tech.

Many international students come to the US to get a world class education. That won't change.

Not at all. For most of the universities, grad schools are absolute cash cows. International students come here for grad school largely because of the associated 3 year(2 for non-STEM) OPT period and ease of getting a H1B during it.

They take loans to pay for the world class education. If they have no option to repay those loans would they come to US?
