MEDIA: Donald Trump Proposes Handing Out Green Cards to Millions of Migrants

Newsweek's Jordan King on whether Casey DeSantis regrets that Ron
failed to convince David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to deploy the
likes of Mike Emmons onto Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM to warn
legacy American proles in Iowa and New Hampshire that Donald Trump
will betray them by signing the permanent bipartisan fusion party's
bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed by the
likes of Mike Johnson and John Thune so long as the Cheap Labor Lobby
authors include the magic words, merit-based:

| One of the podcast's hosts raised the topic of skilled workers,
| saying: "Every time we get somebody superintelligent--from India or
| Europe, any country ... that's a loss for our adversaries and our
| competitors, and it's a gain for us.
|
| "But I've never heard you talk about this. Can you please promise us
| that you will give us more ability to import the best and brightest
| around the world to America?"
|
| Trump answered, "I do promise, but I happen to agree." The former
| president went on to say: "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. And that includes junior colleges, too."

|| labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire
|| American workers first."
||
||     2024 Trump: "I promise to staple a Green Card to anyone who
|| graduates from ANY college, even 2-yr community colleges."

| Trump continued: "I know of stories where people graduated from a
| top college, or from a college, and they desperately wanted to stay
| here--they had a plan for a company, a concept. And they go back to
| India, they go back to China, they do the same basic company in
| those places, and they become multibillionaires who employ thousands
| and thousands of people, and it could have been done here.
|
| "And a bigger example is, you need a pool of people to work for your
| companies--you have great companies--and they have to be smart
| people. Not everybody can be less than smart. You need brilliant
| people."
