During his campaign, Trump proposed granting green cards to foreign students graduating from U.S. colleges. However, his administration has since opted to restrict foreign student enrollment, with new policies focusing on intense vetting and social media scrutiny. This includes a pause in scheduling student visa interviews as the government reassesses foreign students' profiles. Legal experts indicate this represents a fundamental shift in U.S. immigration policy, actively deterring international scholars and students, which contrasts sharply with the country's traditional stance of welcoming foreign talent.
Nicole Hallett, a University of Chicago law professor, characterized the recent immigration strategy as a significant departure from welcoming foreign students, marking a troubling shift.
Trump's suggestion during the campaign to grant green cards to foreign students graduating in the U.S. starkly contrasts with the current administration's tightening policies that deter such enrollment.
