Donald Trump on Thursday night said he's changing his stance on visas for highly skilled immigrant workers.
"Im changing it, and Im softening the position because we need to have talented people in this country," Trump said at the Fox News GOP debate in Michigan.
Trump's comments came after debate moderator Megyn Kelly raised the issue. Kelly noted that Trump had previously opposed those visas, saying they "decimate American workers," but appeared to change his position at an earlier CNBC debate. Trump said recipients of the visas go to high-profile U.S. universities and "desperately" want to remain in the country. He said they should be allowed to stay and work in places that need high-skilled workers, such as Silicon Valley.
"We need highly-skilled people in this country," Trump said. "For that purpose, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brainpower in this country."
Trump is done. I’m off at the next stop.
The evolution continues.
If there are two sides to every issue trump is on three of them.
Uh-oh.
This is BAD.
We need highly skilled spies who can swipe our tech and take it home to their countries.
First there was Potomac Fever.
This is PRE-Potomac Fever..?
Oh the let down is going to be the let downs of let downs. It’ll be for the record books.
BTW, I disagreed with Cruz’s stance on this issue, also
There will be more. Negotiations need to be fluid!
Trump 1.0
Trump 2.0
Trump 3.0
Which one is very, very great?
No it is not. It just means Trump will split a few more delegates with Cruz. Between the two of them they have 5 times as many as patsy Rubio. That is good.
And successful people need to be flexible.
The closer he gets to the nomination, the more liberal he becomes.
Any bets on how fast he changes the position paper on his website?
I believe he said he would.
Trump Exposed.
Good. See ya!
Yep, the Trump chumps will be talking about how brilliant this position is.
Trump has said from the beginning where the US needs the knowledge we will bring it. Cruz and Rubio bring them all in.
Have no idea.
He will stay fluid!
immigration “it’s give and take” don’t-cha-know?
