Donald Trump’s Promise to Keep the ‘Best and Brightest’: A New Path for International Students

#InTheUSA

Here is the exact transcript of an interview with former President Donald Trump discussing his policies if re-elected. (Now he has already been elected. Let's see, what happens.)

Question: I think, Mr. President, we need highly skilled workers in this country. We need to recruit the best and brightest world every time we get somebody super intelligent from India or Europe, any country, the ones without the ties, and we get these great people into our country and that's a loss for our adversaries and our competitors. It's a game for us. But I've never heard you talk about this. Can you please promise us you will give us more ability to import the best and brightest run world to America? 

Answer: I do promise, but I happen to agree. That's why I promise. Otherwise, I wouldn't promise. Let me tell you that it's so sad when we lose people from Harvard, and MIT, from the greatest schools and lesser schools that are phenomenal. And what I wanted to do, and I would have done this, but then we had to solve the COVID problem because that came in and You know, sort of dominated for a little while, as you perhaps know. But what I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from college. I think you should automatically get a green card as part of your diploma to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges too. Anybody who graduates from college goes there for two or four years if you Graduate or you get a doctorate from college, you should be able to stay in this country. And you know more stories than I do. But I know of stories where people graduated from a top college or a college and they desperately wanted to stay here. They had a plan for a company, a concept, and they can't. They go back to India, they go back to China, they do the same basic company in those places and they become multi-billionaires employing thousands and thousands of people. And it could have been done here. A bigger example is when you think that you need a pool of people to work for your company. You have great companies and they have to be smart people. Not everybody can be Less than smart, you need brilliant people, and we force the brilliant people, the people that graduate from college, the people that are #1 in their class or the best colleges. You have to be able to recruit these people and keep the people. It was such a big deal. Somebody graduates at the top of the class. They can't even make a deal with the company 'cause they don't think they're gonna be able to stay in the country that is gonna end on day one.
