Former U.S. President Trump made a striking suggestion in a recent interview: He wants to provide automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from American universities, a stance that contrasts with his past anti-immigration rhetoric on the campaign trail. Compared.
In a podcast recorded with venture capitalists and tech investors on Wednesday, Trump was asked about a plan called "All In" to attract the "best and brightest" talent from around the world. He said bluntly: "I think when you graduate from an American university, you should automatically receive a green card as part of your diploma, giving you the right to stay in this country. This does not only apply to undergraduate graduates, but also to college graduates." The same applies. Whether you study here for two years or four years, you should have this opportunity.” Trump even promised to immediately address this issue once he is re-elected.
This proposal is undoubtedly a major expansion of the U.S. immigration system, which is very different from Trump’s harsh attitude towards immigrants in the past. During the campaign, Trump frequently emphasized the dangers immigrants pose to American society, claiming they enter the country illegally, endanger public safety, steal jobs and government resources, and suggest they are "poisoning the blood of our country." He has promised to carry out the largest deportations in U.S. history if elected.
However, Trump’s statement this time shows a significant change in his views on immigration. He emphasized that he distinguished between those who entered illegally and those who entered legally, and was willing to provide opportunities for those legal immigrants who are talented and contributing. He said he knew many foreign graduates from top universities who wanted to stay in the United States but were unable to do so due to visa issues. He believes that these talents can make significant contributions to the economic and social development of the United States.
Trump also blamed the coronavirus pandemic for being unable to implement his past immigration restrictions. He said he knew of some foreign students graduating from top universities who were forced to return to their home countries because they were unable to obtain visas, particularly those from India and China. After returning to their home countries, they went on to become billionaires, employing thousands of workers and making significant contributions to their respective countries' economies.
Trump emphasized that companies need smart and talented talents to promote development. "You need a group of people working for your company, and they have to be smart people. Not everyone can be unsmart. You need talented people," he said.
Hours after the podcast was released, campaign press secretary Carolyn Lay Vitter released a statement further elaborating on Trump's position. She said: "President Trump has outlined the most aggressive vetting process in American history, excluding all radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, American haters and public threats. He believes that this rigorous vetting process can only be implemented if We should only retain the most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America after the most thorough vetting. This policy applies only to the most thoroughly vetted college graduates who will never lower American wages or rates. Harming the interests of workers."
Trump's change undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion. Whether he can successfully implement this policy and how this policy will affect the immigration pattern and social development of the United States are issues worthy of further observation and discussion.
