Looks like it's this same survey[1], which was already reported a while ago in the NYTimes[2], and when you actually look at it, contains this phrase, which adds a little more perspective:
> 39% of responding institutions reported a decline in international applications, 35% reported an increase, and 26% reported no change in applicant numbers.
Note that it also says the "final" report will be released March 30, so expect to see this story reported again after that.
Why should I enroll in a US college? I mean, I get probably the best education as an engineer for free, not counting that the scope and orientation of an american bachelors degree is more like german abitur than a bachelors degree here.
To clarify: Most countrys have cheaper high education. That's probably the thing you should fix First.
