“We’re going to allow, it’s very important, 600,000 students,” Trump told reporters. “We’re going to get along with China. But it’s a different relationship that we have now with China.”

There are currently 270,000 Chinese students studying in the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times. Back in May, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration would begin to "aggressively revoke" the visas of Chinese students.

This land has been under attack via the new comers processes ever since Columbus sailed in 1492. The new comers began placing the originals under locations for their tribes and began to eventually bring in natives of Africa.

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union[e] (”the North”) and the Confederacy (”the South”), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union to preserve African American slavery, which they saw as threatened because of the election of Abraham Lincoln and the growing abolitionist movement in the North.

Within the next 100 yrs or so you'll be seeing them living in outer space locations and food will be a pill or injection of some viratity. Forget planting, collecting and cooking. Human bodys will creamated and the ashes place in various locations including outer space. You can now place the ashes in the oceans provided they are dispursed three miles off shore.

The headline should be “Trump announces end to CCP students in the U.S.” with a subheading of “U.S. schools dependent on Chinese students plan record staff reductions”.

He should restrict their degree programs to Women’s Studies, LGBTQ Studies and other such useless degrees.

Cuz the institutes of higher learning make serious coin off of the ferrigners. Sadly, try taking a class when one of them is the teaching assistant. I made C’s in Calculus 1 and 2 cuz my “professors” were from Russia and China. The spoke gibberish.

My best guess is that it’s been so long since the federal government has been involved in education that the indoctrinated are now their children and grand children. The U.S. Department of Education has been around for almost half a century at this point, and it’s going to take decades to undo that damage. If I remember right, President Trump gutted their funding and is trying to dismantle it, but undoing the damage won’t be easy.

I don’t think Trump has any intention of really doing this.

Why is he doing this?

Something is not quite right here.

Terrible, terrible idea.

I seem to recall PDJT saying something like, “America first”. I could be wrong

““We’re going to allow, it’s very important, 600,000 students,” Trump told reporters.”

This is a truly rotten proposal. These 600,000 “students” will steal everything not nailed down. I agree with the President on a huge majority of matters, but not this one.

I'd take 600,000 high IQ Chinese over the millions of Somali thieves/fraudsters, Afghani terrorist, Venezuelan drug cartel killers and rapists etc that Biden imported any day.
