Washington: Republican candidate Donald Trump has said that he will permit green cards to foreign graduates of US colleges if he is re-elected.
Trump promised to make it convenient to bring talent to the US and said anyone who graduates from a US college should be able to stay in the country during a podcast interview with Silicon Valley tech investors.
“It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, the greatest schools, and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also,” he 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,” he added.
Individuals are given the right to live and work permanently in the US by a green card and it also offers a pathway to citizenship.
