Trump Proposes Automatic Green Cards for Graduates of Any College, Including 2-Year Programs

Jun 20, 2024, 11:16 PM

Former President Donald Trump has proposed a policy to automatically grant green cards to foreign students who graduate from American colleges. Speaking on 'The All-In Podcast,' Trump emphasized that this initiative would be part of his immigration policy if he were to secure a second term in office. He stated that graduates should receive a green card as part of their diploma, allowing them to stay in the United States. This proposal, which would be implemented on day one, marks a significant shift from his previous stance on immigration, where he advocated for stricter controls. Trump’s new stance aims to increase legal immigration and retain talented individuals educated in the U.S. to bolster the economy. The policy would apply to graduates from any college, including 2-year community colleges.
