Trump sells out MAGA—promises automatic green cards for foreign college graduates

[UNCjigga]

ROFL!!!!!!! So…Trump is pro-DREAM Act now???

To think these fucking MAGA GED-toting meat heads thought Trump really gave a damn for any of them. Sorry—he just blurted out what his Russian, Chinese and Indian donors have been asking for.

“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,” the presumptive GOP nominee said on “The All-In Podcast,” which aired Thursday.

He continued, “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.”

but do you qualify if you come from a shithole country?

Trick question, people from shithole countries can't graduate from college.

Won't ever pass Congress.

It's just a ploy to draw votes from stupid Russian, Indian and Chinese people who think it's even possible.

Like my neighbors!

Not the worst idea I've heard this week.

 

[fskimospy]

This is a good idea, actually. Anything we can do to increase immigration we should be doing.

This of course wouldn’t come close to offsetting the mass inflation we would suffer from his other immigration policies but whatever.

To a point; I'm against opening the floodgates or generally anything that will depress wages. That said, a green card mitigate that effect somewhat relative to H1B holders as they don't have nearly as much flexibility.

Trump telling somebody who is asking him a question what they want to hear? Unprecedended lol.

He said the same thing in 2015 and then undertook every possible action to collapse legal immigration once in office. I don't have to pretend this is real and neither should anybody else.

Republicans: We demand mass deportations so that more Americans can have those jobs.

somewhat later....

Republicans: Why has the price of produce gone up 300% at the grocery store and I can't find a contractor to drywall my basement at literally any price? Must be the lazy black people.

Right after that they will ask why women aren’t contributing more forgetting they were banned from having bank accounts or jobs without their husbands approval.

Waiting for the next idea of don't give them reparations, food stamps, education, freedom and take them all the way back to 1859.

Oh wait.. maybe he'll get Uncle Tom Tim Scott to say that!

You say that jokingly, but I think you actually screwed it up a bit. They won't let them into colleges in the first place.

There's a reason they went so hard at affirmative action in college admissions...

You live in the Deep South. Hitting your hand with a hammer is the best idea you have heard in the past 6 months

It's a pretty horrible place. Meth labs everywhere, Klan meetings after church services every Sunday, homeless people stacked like cord wood along side the road, it's the seventh circle of hell.
I'm only surviving because of the heavy fortifications around my compound, and a lot of signs that confuse the locals because they can't read. It's a problem because everyone around here everyone knows I'm wealthy, I have a double wide with a window air conditioner, that kind of money is hard to hide.

Time to replace your Lamborghini/ Lexus with a beat down Ford Bronco from the 70's. They were built like tanks so probably safer in one too!

70's beat down Bronco is big bucks. That's really showing off your wealth.

Yeah the huge nostalgia for these is why Ford dealers can get away ripping people off with markups on the new ones.

Or Ford’s ridiculous pricing for the retro paint editions.

That statement was hurriedly walked back by his campaign when they said only after an extensive vetting process or something similar.

"Vetting" will consist of holding up a skin tone chart...pale from Sweden, sure you can stay. A darkie from a shithole country, yeah not so much. I would have to wonder how many "favorable" types would want to come here in the first place. I'm sure there's some that either don't care about Trumpism, gun nuts running wild, etc, or who think its all great.

The funny thing is if "the liberal media" was anything like conservative media that's exactly what they'd show constantly, just like Fox does with NYC/Chicago/etc...

It's what the rich folks buy their daughters for a first car. I know someone who did that and their daughter totaled it within the first year (she was unhurt) then they went out a bought her another one.

If D politicians routinely (and accurately) described rural America as a meth addled empty hopeless place that syphons off the tax dollars of real hardworking urban Americans they'd be burned at the stake. Rs say the same and far worse about cities without any objection.

Instead the democrats give these ungrateful piece of shit Nazis things like infrastructure, or Obama's high speed internet push, and Dems want to keep SS & Medicare going, push for higher wages, protect unions which get them higher paying jobs.

A bunch of douchebag jackwagons the whole lot of them, wasting our resources and tax dollars.
