MIAMI (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said in an interview posted on Thursday he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges, a sharp departure from the anti-immigrant rhetoric he typically uses on the campaign trail.

Trump was asked about plans for companies to be able to import the “best and brightest” in a podcast taped Wednesday with venture capitalists and tech investors called the “All-In.”

“What I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically as part of your diploma a green card to be able to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges too, anybody graduates from a college. You go there for two years or four years,” he said, vowing to address this concern on day one.

I actually met a student from Botswana at a gathering once who told me his government invested a lot in people like him to learn skills and bring them home to advance the home country who paid their tab. It was NOT helpful to have the host country try to get them to stay.

“Fix the schools, don’t see out our kids futures! Otherwise, we’ll find our kids simply scrambling with illegals for low paying jobs while the college-level jobs go t foreigners.”

Certainly the case, but it begins in Grade 1. As to immediate fixes, the best thing would probably require 1 or 2 years of “pre-college” prior to starting college-level work in challenging majors, with the goal being to get Americans at least close to the level of education that the foreign students have prior to starting college. This would include radical concepts like learning arithmetic WITHOUT calculators, and learning long division, and how to work fractions, for example.

They need to graduate with a real degree in a field that the U.S. needs people in and not more social justice krap degrees.

Britain’s National Health Service is disliked for ‘poaching’ foreign medical workers.

Hispanics are not as good at the trades as the Americans 50 and 60 years ago, not even close.

When we bring in foreigners to lower wages and salaries, they increase the demand for housing, which then becomes ‘unaffordable’.

The Conservative Party of the UK is likely to get tossed into the dustbin of history because of that.

Neither party cares about you or represents you. They are grifters who destroyed the nation, $184 Trillion in debt and liabilities.

Make a plan. The GOP will certainly not save you.

“Hispanics are not as good at the trades as the Americans 50 and 60 years ago, not even close.”

Most homebuyers don’t have a clue. If the surface looks good, all is well, maybe.

In 1981 I was told by the head HR person of what was probably the largest software development company in the DC area that he got about 30 resumes per job on offer.

“ In a statement released hours after the podcast was posted, campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “President Trump has outlined the most aggressive vetting process in U.S. history, to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges. He believes, only after such vetting has taken place, we ought to keep the most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America. This would only apply to the most thoroughly vetted college graduates who would never undercut American wages or workers.”

“Purple haired teachers…….never saw one .”

A quick Google search will take care of that. And I was being generous by not mentioning the nose and lip rings that usually go with the purple hair.

This plan will destroy the grad school dreams of most American citizens who have such a plan because so many people from other countries will apply for 1 year Masters programs just so they can get the Green Card.
