Trump supporters disappointed as ex-POTUS doubles down on new ‘pro-growth’ policy proposal
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump once again put forward a policy proposal that would provide green cards to immigrants with college degrees, as per Raw Story.
In June 2024, Trump said he would push for a program that would automatically give green cards to all foreign college students in America after they graduate after a vetting process, according to the New York Times.
Donald Trump again puts forward policy for immigrant students to get green card
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social at around 3 am on Saturday, August 24, and shared a link celebrating a proposal he had previously put forth. The link was an opinion piece from the Washington Examiner titled 'Trump is right: Foreign graduates should get green cards'.
The article read, "Despite facing friendly fire from so-called national conservatives over a recent interview with the venture capitalists on the All-In podcast, former President Donald Trump’s latest insistence that foreign students be compelled to stay in the country after attending an American college exemplifies the former president’s pro-growth strain of 'America First."
Notably, during his term as president, Trump’s immigration agenda included restrictions on green cards, visa programs, refugee resettlement, and other forms of legal immigration, reducing the number of lawful permanent residents entering the country.
Trump began his presidency by signing an executive order that banned travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries and later embraced a proposal to cut legal immigration by half, as per the New York Times.
Throughout his presidency, he assailed the H-1B visa program, favored by tech companies as a medium to hire foreign skilled workers, as a "theft of American prosperity".
Moreover, he also expanded restrictions on legal immigration during the pandemic and proposed suspending all immigration to the United States and deporting foreign students if they did not attend at least some classes in person.
Donald Trump supporters slam him for green card policy proposal
Many Donald Trump supporters were not happy with his Truth Social post and ended up criticizing him on social media.
A user said, "Trump doesn't understand Americans. He hates people of color and he hates poor people. He calls his supporters "basement dwellers". Stop being fools. Get out now before you completely ruin your relationships with your precious family."
A person also stated, "Maga cannot compete with immigrants that are not educated. They are completely threatened by the educated immigrants."
Another mentioned, "I guess that the diaper poo is as disgusting to him, as it is to us!"
A user also wrote, "Keep talking Trump you are driving away everyone. I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the MAGAs showed up on Election Day" while one commented, "I'd love to believe this malarkey, but who else are these clowns gonna' vote for?"
A person also mentioned, "Trump built a cult of hate, and hate is all they will accept from him."
