Donald Trump previously proposed granting automatic green cards to foreign graduates from U.S. colleges, citing the benefits to the economy. However, recent actions by the administration are seen as a deterrent to foreign student enrollment. The State Department halted new student interviews while considering stricter vetting, including social media scrutiny. Incidents such as the arrest of a Tufts University student over a pro-Palestinian article illustrate a shift in immigration policy focused on foreign students. The government has also revoked Harvard's ability to enroll international students, impacting thousands.
In past administrations, there has been an attempt to go after undocumented immigrants and people with serious criminal convictions, not foreign students who contribute to our economy.
Donald Trump endorsed a novel idea: Foreign students who graduated from college in the United States would automatically get a green card, instead of having to scramble for a new visa.
