Former United States President Donald Trump has promised to automatically grant green cards to foreign graduates of US colleges if re-elected.
This is strange given his tough stance on immigration.
He pledged, months ago, to carry out the largest deportation operation in US history.
However, during a podcast interview with Silicon Valley tech investors on Thursday, Trump said anyone who graduates from a US college should be able to stay in the country, and make talent easier to come to the US.
“It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, the greatest schools, and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also,” Trump said during an appearance on the All-In Podcast hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks and David Friedberg.
“I think you should get, automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country and that includes junior colleges, too,” Trump added.
