Trump says all college graduates should have a green card attached to their diploma

[Green Line]

Its not a real proposal and will never happen.  Just Trump riffing.

[Arson Plus]

Also, I was thinking; would online colleges count as colleges in the US? Let's say some guy from India decides to enroll into the Penn State World Campus and despite never setting foot in the US, he would get a green card via his graduation under this plan; wouldn't he?

Hell what's stopping people from just enrolling in University of Phoenix or Southern New Hampshire University?

What makes you so sure? The tech bros love this idea and Trump has been sucking up to them a lot lately. This is just the GOP returning to its anti populist norm.

And we all know, Trump is a man of his word.

The man has never made a campaign promise he didn’t keep.

If Biden had made this comment, you be raving about Democrats were selling America to foreigners. Be more consistent.

I’m sure Stephen Miller will be happy to implement this.

The party will never pass it if they’re in charge. Immigration is what they use to rile up the KKK base.

Rare Trump W, but if you like this policy and want it enacted, you're better off voting for Biden and a Democratic Congress.

Yup.

Trump had the chance to be pragmatic on immigration and bungled it. Schumer offered him wall funding early in his term for a legislative DACA solution. Both policies would have been popular, yet he walked away after Steve Bannon and Steven Miller told him so.

[wbrocks67]

Once again, Trump literally just lies and lies and says whatever he thinks the person in front of him wants to hear.

He floated this idea in 2015 when he first ran and then he had Stephen Miller running his immigration policy. It's all a lie, it's all a grift.

You also cannot be the person who says immigrants are poisoning the life blood of this country but also saying hey the "good" ones get a green card! It's not reconcilable, but Trump is not a rational actor, so of course it's not

As someone who broadly supports this idea in theory, it would need to be for people who came here to America to attend in person and didn't get into any trouble during their 4 years here, not someone who just signed up online from the other side of the world and got their degree entirely over there.

Horrible idea.

You're really not though. Trump has clearly turned far more establishment since all the legal troubles, why are you so sure he's lying here? Are you really that negatively polarized?

Do we really need more underwater basket weaving majors who shouldn't be in college?

Edgy!

He's just lying.  He's been lying for 8 years and telling people whatever they want to hear.  He hasn't all of a sudden become establishment.  He has no ideology.

If Trump wins, what do you think is more likely to happen in 2025, millions of deportations or a green card on every undocumented diploma? If he has no ideology why are you so sure he'll be a border hawk?

Going soft on the border or openly turning on Israel are the only two issues that I think could truly hurt Trump with his base, albeit each would take out a very different segment.

Tech bro Types aren’t the establishment and they are the only people who’s really support this policy . The establishment wouldn’t because doing so would require getting rid of chain migration and making student visa rules stricter which they absolutely would not want to do .

Also it’s undeniable Trump this time has been more influenced by tech bro types than he was in 2016/2020 and while Congress would never pass this policy regardless of what Trump wants , it does not mean he won’t be influenced by tech bros .

Absolutely not.
Trump will get this beautiful policy enacted and Biden will never be able to.

Would you have supported this (awful) policy before it got Trump's seal of approval?

I don't see how this helps him, most Americans supported his deportation plan. He had the opportunity to hammer Biden on borders. Why switch up now?

Absolutely. I'm pro immigration.

It’s not exactly what happens in Canada but there  are a bunch of food service and other useless degrees.

Neither are going to happen.  He’s weak on the border.

In Canada, plenty of South Asian “students” enroll in useless majors in diploma mills and after they graduate they work in completely unrelated fields which don’t require education.

Oh yeah, I've read about this issue before.

LOL I thought about commenting this might be the one thing that'll get jfern to criticize Trump. Yep!
