Former US President Donald Trump seems to be in a different mood in the election environment. On issues which he used to take an aggressive stance on earlier, his tone now seems to have changed a bit. In a recent interview, Trump has said that he wants foreign students who graduate from American colleges to get automatic green cards.
In a podcast called 'All-In', Trump gave this answer when he was asked about the companies' plan to invite the best and the brightest people to America. Through this statement, Trump has changed his stance on Green Card i.e. permission to officially stay in America.
In the 2024 presidential election campaign, Trump opposed the entry of immigrants into the United States. His latest statement is completely against his stance. Trump accused immigrants living illegally in the country of committing crimes, stealing jobs and government resources, saying that they are “poisoning the blood of our country.” He had promised during the election campaign that if elected, he would lead the largest deportation campaign in American history. Thus, Trump suddenly shifted from a campaign against outsiders.
Trump's mood changed
Speaking in an interview on Thursday, Trump said that what I want to do and what I will do is, I want you to graduate from an American college like me, along with the degree you should also get a green card to stay in America. He said that junior colleges will also be included in this and also said that I will start working on it from the first day of becoming the President. This means that if Trump wins the election, then it can be beneficial for the students studying in America or going there in future. Because the US green card is considered a difficult task.
America needs talented people
After assuming the presidency in 2017, Trump had ordered 'Buy American and hire American'. After this order, it was ensured that only American workers are given priority for work in America and instructions were given to issue business visas only for high salary and high skilled jobs. But this time Trump has said that he needs a large number of employees for the companies and those people should be smart, you need talented people to take the country forward.
Every year thousands of students go to America for higher education. According to the data of 2023, about two lakh Indian students are doing graduation and post graduation from America. India ranks second among the citizens taking the highest number of green cards in America. According to the CRS survey, about 65,960 people have taken US Green Card in 2022.
