Bad idea to propose it in the first place.
He needs to do more rallies, to get crowd reaction to this stuff.
There are things that Trump (and Bannon) shouldn’t be touching right now. It’s just going to be used against us.
Well, if “who would never undercut American wages or workers” is real, then no foreign student will be allowed to stay once they finish school. Trump should clear this up. Besides, those foreign students will not be voting for him or Republicans, they cannot legally vote. There is no upside beyond his promises to big business to sustain and increase H1B, which this would compliment.
Now we know the impact of all the tech company donations to Trump (his prior statement of keeping immigrant students here). Good to see that Trump heard from his base and backtracked it a bit.

Trump was wrong to effectively say we need to import people to take our jobs.
How could be possibly be against illegals, when they help take US citizens’ jobs and lives?
Trump speaks, and his campaign team springs into action. To unwind the mess.
GOOD. I don’t often disagree with Trump, but I did on this.
Good thing he read the freeper thread yesterday !
Good to see him clarifying his statement
We really need to cut back on student visa scam in general
Who’s idea was this?
Getting the degrees Americans don’t want to get? WTF?! NO MORE “immigrants”, “migrants”, or “newcomers”, PERIOD! And get rid of the 50 million+ that are already here.
Whoever came up with this idea and the consumption tax idea need to be fired.
It is not difficult. Fire all of those involved with posting the original comment. The US Citizens have no oxygen for them in our country.
Is he announcing the Virginia Governor as VP after the debate?
Gobbledygook that will be even more obbledygook than this claim is in the work visa program.
Take away availability of foreign hordes and even the worst leftist fag companies and academic programs will suddenly launch programs to encourage and assist Americans to enter fields "they don't want to do." All of the shortages (mostly contrived, exaggerated, or self-fulfilled prophesies) will vanish in a couple years. It might be painful for those couple years in the interim, but it beats increasing, increasing and increasing reliance on foreign swarmers, and Americans basically being imbecile subject people in the eyes of majority foreign born doctors, engineers, and soon lawyers, making Americans are basically colonized in their own land.
Good news. I’m glad to see him walking this back.
In 2017, 2018, and 2019 - before Covid - Trump Naturalized more new citizens, Trump issued more Green Cards, and Trump issued more foreign work visas, than Obama did in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
90% of the foreign STEM students that Trump wants to give Green Cards are completely average scientists and engineers who compete against completely average American scientists and engineers - by crushing the wage scale.
When adjusted for inflation, the starting wage for USA software engineers has not changed for the last 25 years.
One final insult...
Almost 70% of foreign born voters voted AGAINST Trump in 2020.
