I 10,000% guarantee this would not be enacted by a Trump presidency. Worst, if some for of it was put forward it would have specific conditions limiting which country of origin this would apply to (surprise surprise: white ones).
Please don't get lured by the broken clock phenomenon...
It would be only those countries that give trump money. Guaranteed.
He'll never do it. He'll likely fight anyone who does. The most shameless man in history dosen't care about fighting against his own promises.
Is... is this reverse Fetterman? Did Trump have a stroke and become a democrat?
Dude I don’t think even the democrats would float this sort of plan. It’s one of those weird moments between planning the three stooges reich where he just glomms onto some idea that is actually super progressive without knowing it. Ultimately trump is apolitical personally I think—he acts based on narcissistic self interest, which is why it’s possible for weird shit like this to happen. He also just takes notes from whatever whackos are around that day, so you can be sure that any actual good or progressive ideas will get removed from the platform by one of the far right grifters he has in perpetual orbit, but still amusing to see.
The democrats would say they wanted to do this, then complain they’re not allowed to, and then produce a plan that provides green cards to foreign grads if they agree to live in an underserved neighborhood for 5 years, have a specific blood type, and complete a post-secondary degree within 5 years with the intention of working in green energy development after. Like some caveated-to-hell means tested crap that lets them say they tried, while effectively making it near-impossible.
The upside of having no real stances is you can throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks towards your benefit.
Also an upside of never implementing what you promised it doesn't matter what you said last.
Easy enough to setup a fake college and funnel immigrants through it, ask Trump he did it for years.
He probably forgot it shut down.
He probably forgot it ~~shut down~~ existed.
This is just a ploy to get elected. The republican platform says none of this.
I despise Trump with every fiber of my being but I agree with the spirit of this. We need to make it easier for legal immigrants. I would be highly suspicious of a Trump administration's implementation of this policy, though. He makes everything about him.
Oops there we go with another pathetic example of a raging fascist literally outflanking a milquetost centrist on the left.
Fuck Trump, the hateful bastard, but this is so pathetic that Biden and centrist democrats utterly refuse to engage in promising genuine reforms and providing a vision to the truly desperate (economically) american public and it is going to end up killing us all.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”
"White, rich, Christian conservative foreigners only"
This isnt Trump outflanking anyone. This is them setting up a pipeline to import foreign born conservatives to eventually vote in our elections to prop up their dwindling local support for extremist policy.
Biden should support the green card policy without the above restrictions. That would be progress. This Trump version is nothing good at all.
