Trump Campaign Backtracks on Trump Promise of More College Migrants
Breitbart ^ | June 21, 2024 | Neil Munro

President Donald Trump’s campaign team is rewriting his Thursday night promise to grant green cards to any foreign graduates of four-year universities and two-year community colleges.

President Trump believes “we ought to keep the most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America … who would never undercut American wages or workers,” said the statement from spokeswoman Katherine Leavitt.

"Then let them come through normal immigration channels. Interviews, long waits, etc. None of this H1-B or college holdover crud."

Every foreigner coming to the US for education from a non-western country is forking out money with an implicit understanding that the degree so earned would allow the person to work in the US and may open an option for permanent settlement. Of course, it's an immigration scam but it is one that everyone including the US government which issues the visas willingly participates in. Take that away & 95% of those students wouldn't bother applying. Without the option of working in the US, a US degree would be a waste of money & time. There is very little value in their home countries for a US degree except from a couple of famous universities. For too many colleges, this has become a very lucrative way to make money. It will require tremendous will & effort to break this chain.

Tariffs is the one good thing.

This H1B thing comes for listening to VC / Hedge Fund morons, and listening to them on tariffs just allows them to outsource whatever is left of the industrial base.

Re: "Legal immigrants do better in United State on average than native born Americans."

Apples and oranges, Bobby.

Comparing the income of Asian Indian software engineers to the income of native born Blacks and Hispanics does not tell us anything.

Meanwhile, the huge surplus of Asian engineers has crushed the average wage for American engineers.

Agreed, but American CORPORATIONS are benefitting with less expensive engineers. When corporations operate in United States, they employ whole slew of people from CEO’s to jjanitors. And they pay local property taxes and all other local taxes.

You have a point. If you want to harm Big Tech, kneecap their access to guest workers & force them to hire citizens.

Nope.

Point is if you want to harm the nation, as well as "big tech" in the long run, keep giving them the foreign swarms crutch. Deny them that crutch and it might hurt in the short run, but in the long run both will be absolutely forced to develop the citizens in technology with incentive programs and education, as well as trim down more wasteful social programs.

So the point is long run or short run.
