President-elect Trump proposes green cards for U.S. college graduates, sparking debate as universities urge international students to return before potential visa restrictions.
President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to grant green cards to foreign nationals graduating from U.S. colleges has stirred controversy.
“What I want to do, and what I will do, is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," Trump said in June on the All-In Podcast.
“And that includes junior colleges too. Anybody graduates from a college — you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country," he added.
A video featuring these remarks went viral on X on Friday, shared by Elon Musk, who supported Trump’s election win and advocates for skilled foreign workers, especially in tech industries.
Musk, owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, emphasized the need for foreign talent in the U.S. workforce.
Trump’s proposal, aimed at addressing “brain drain,” seeks to retain skilled graduates to boost innovation, economic growth, and job creation. However, it has faced criticism from his base, with some arguing that immigrants take jobs from U.S. citizens.
Simultaneously, concerns have grown among universities as Trump’s inauguration approaches. Institutions like New York University, Cornell, and USC have advised international students to return before 20th of January, fearing potential travel and visa restrictions.
