Former President Donald Trump suggests granting green cards to foreign students graduating from U.S. colleges, including junior colleges.

What Happened: On Thursday, Trump proposed that foreign students graduating from U.S. colleges should receive green cards. This idea was shared during an episode of the All-In podcast.

Trump stated, “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, and that includes junior colleges too.”

The former president, known for his stringent immigration policies, has often criticized President Joe Biden for his handling of illegal immigration.

Trump highlighted the struggles of top graduates who wish to stay in the U.S. but face immigration hurdles. “Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can't even make a deal with a company because they don't think they're going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on day one,” he said.

Trump proposed the idea when asked if he would support measures to attract top talent from around the world to America. It remains uncertain whether Trump’s suggestion on Thursday also pertains to individuals who entered the country illegally.
