Conservative critics lashed out at recent Trump proposal
Former President Trump’s campaign walked back a promise that the former president would "automatically" award green cards to migrants after they graduate from college.
"President Trump has made it clear that on day one of his new administration, he’s going to shut down the border and launch the largest mass deportation effort of illegal aliens in history," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement last week, according to a New York Post report, noting that the former president would include an "aggressive vetting process" and "exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges."
The comments come after Trump’s appearance on the "All-in Podcast" last week, where the former president outlined an idea to give all foreign college graduates a green card with their diploma.
"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," Trump said during the appearance.
The proposal received immediate pushback, with Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian telling the New York Post that such a handout was "a cockamamie proposal" that would prompt a "fire hose of foreign cash" by "stapling a green card to the diploma" of a U.S. college graduate.

A very good point .
A very good point .

Don’t worry, Trump will implement this another way. He’ll just say it’s beautiful and how nobody cares more than he does, and if oppose this, he’ll give you a cool nickname.
Well said.
Trump State of the Union 2019. And unfortunately, what is happening right now is currently legal, as the rules of immigration are pretty much left up to the President and executive branch under our current laws.
So the only true answer to the problem is legislation by Congress, and the Republicans blew their chance at it this past year with the pathetic Langford proposals. Whether we'll get another chance anytime soon remains to be seen.
Between this issue of Green Cards for college graduates and his dissing of General Flynn, I’’m looking for a another candidate to vote for in November.
This crap pisses me off.
General Flynn is just dealing with the consequences of treasonous behavior to sell out his service-gained expertise, experience, and knowledge to a foreign government.
