    I seem to recall like 20 years ago even there was an issue in that state colleges make more from out of state students so are sorta incentivized to have more of them. I assume this is to pump up fake colleges like a reboot of trump university

    I have no idea why the USA spends money on training international students until they get their PhD and then doesn’t automatically give them permanent residency. One guy I know came from Iran to get his physics PhD and although he has managed to stay in the USA with a work visa, by default the USA would have sent him back to Iran!

      Foreign students pay full tuition, with no state contribution. Lots of universities have increased foreign admissions specifically to address declining state allocations. Science grad schools, where grants pay the student’s tuition & stipend are a different question, but a lot of funding mechanisms, including some US gov’t, bar foreign nationals.

      The whole pool of foreign students are great, though: top students in their home country, generally from families wealthy in their home country, highly motivated & ambitious. Many/most of them seek college in the US hoping it will be a stepping stone to employment and permanent residence. I can understand why even a xenophobe like Trump would make an exception for students.

    Easy enough to setup a fake college and funnel immigrants through it, ask Trump he did it for years.

    Not a bad idea if you limited it to properly accredited schools. I’ll put this in the “buy Greenland” category of Trump ideas, oddly appealing.

    Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”

    Communists? 🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

      Doesn’t matter, that just means “we’ll exclude all non-white, non-Christian Europeans who have ever said anything remotely critical of Donald Trump in their time on the internet.”

      America haters

      These people also like to say that Democrats and progressives hate America.

    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.

      “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.

    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…

    I wonder what scam he has in mind to gain money or power through this, at the expense of everyone else in the country.

      Last time, they avoided having the platform contradict Trump by not adopting a platform. I expect this time to be no different.
