This marks an unexpected shift from the Republican known for his tough stance on immigration.

Former United States President Donald Trump has said, if re-elected, he would automatically grant green cards to foreign graduates of US colleges.

This marks an unexpected shift from the Republican known for his tough stance on immigration.

During a podcast interview with Silicon Valley tech investors on Thursday, Trump promised to simplify the process of bringing talent to the US, Al Jazeera reports

He also stated that anyone graduating from a US college should be allowed to stay in the country.

While speaking on the All-In Podcast, hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg, Trump said, “It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, the greatest schools, and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also.

“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.”

A green card grants individuals the privilege of permanent residence and employment in the United States, with a potential route to citizenship.

Trump's plan, which could lead to a significant increase of hundreds of thousands of citizenship applications annually, represents a notable shift away from his previously strict stance on immigration that defined his political ascent in the Republican Party.

Trump, who has previously made inflammatory remarks about migrants, has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation of undocumented immigrants in US history if he wins the November election.

He has consistently criticized President Joe Biden, his Democratic opponent, for being lenient on immigration.

At a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Trump lambasted a new program introduced by Biden, which enables undocumented spouses of US citizens to apply for permanent residency without having to depart the country.

Trump said, “Our country is under invasion. We should not be talking amnesty, we should be talking about stopping the invasion instead.”

Approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants are residing in the United States without legal status, according to estimates provided by the Department of Homeland Security.

Personally, I don’t fancy him either. Neither do I like Joe. Most of us who prefer Texas (Cypress specifically) have seen some of the challenges of mass uncontrolled illegal Imigration, even when we are far away from the main border crossing points.

But let us speak the truth about him, Trump. He has always been against ILLEGAL IMIGRATION. ILEGAL. Not the legal kind. ILLEGAL.

Students are Legal in the US. They have legal status/right to temporary stay to study and complete their programs. After studying is where the problem is. And this is what he is bringing closure to.

Anyway from this move, he is trying to appeal to the pro Imigration liberal/left wing. However, I do not personally see it as a smart move. The students themselves cannot vote. Only their relatives who are legal and qualified to vote in the US can vote for him on this ground. Additionally, Joe Biden can easily do the same and even more. This will not give him the much edge that he seeks.

Additionally, this will only imply that only those who can contribute significantly to the US economy and who have been integrated into the system for 3-6 years have the opportunity for the green card. Many people (including Nigerians) will seriously seek admission into 3-4 years courses in the US if he becomes president. A course that will end before the next election of 2028.

Nice 1

You need more of this for people to vote for you

Badman wan win

Vawulence don't solve when zip holds your penis skin

Mass deportation still stand , Foreign US graduate are just less than 2% of people he wants to deport. Get ready

Most people dont read.

Do you need data to read?

Undocumented immigrant will be deported.
Documented immigrant will be given green card.

He did not make a u turn.

He only did what is supposed to be.

You cant pass libya or mexico into usa.
Most of you are terrorist, jihadist or gangs.
