Former President Trump proposed giving green cards to international college graduates in a podcast interview released Thursday.
“But what I want to do — and what I will do — is if you graduate from college, I think you should automatically get, as part of your degree, a green card so you can stay in this country,” Trump said. said no “All inclusive” podcast.
Trump’s words seem mirror language used on former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s website during her 2016 campaign, which said that in “a comprehensive immigration solution, Hillary would ‘staple’ a green card to STEM master’s and doctoral degrees from accredited institutions – allowing international students to complete degrees in these areas to move to green card status.
Trump also said he knows “stories where people graduated from a top college, or a college, and they desperately wanted to stay here. They had a plan for a company, a concept, and they can’t do it. … They go back to India, they go back to China.”
Trump recently went after 2024 election rival President Biden on immigration at a rally in Wisconsin, following a White House announcement about executive action that would allow some immigrants without legal status but married to U.S. citizens to remain in the country and work legally. .
“Crooked Joe is sending a message to the world that it rewards illegal entry, and that is what is happening,” Trump said.
“Do not deceive yourselves, those who suffer most, the black population, the Hispanic population,” he continued. “And do you know who else is seriously injured? Unions.”
