Trump Campaign Walks Back Green Card Comments

“Donald Trump said he would push for a program that would automatically give green cards to all foreign college students in America after they graduate, a reversal from restrictions he enacted as president on immigration by high-skilled workers and students to the United States,” the New York Times reports.

“But hours after Mr. Trump’s remarks aired, his campaign’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, walked back the former president’s comments, saying in a statement that there would be an ‘aggressive vetting process’ that would ‘exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges’ and that the policy would apply only to the ‘most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America.’”
