Not long ago, Trump declared that foreign students in the U.S. on student visas who attended schools that would be entirely online in the new school year had to leave. This is perfectly reasonable, there is no reason why someone taking classes online should need to be living in the U.S. to do so. Besides, we already have way too many foreign students in America and we certainly don’t need more who are just hanging around watching lectures online.
But as has become the norm in the tough talk, no action Trump administration….
Trump administration rescinds rule on foreign students amid pressure from colleges
Well why not? It isn’t like we have tens of millions of unemployed Americans, why shouldn’t we bring in a ton of foreign kids to get critical job skills to fill jobs at a lower wage than Americans? It isn’t like Trump declared that from now on it is going to be America first or anything.
I would be willing to bet that Grima Wormtongue aka Jared Kushner was behind this move. Once again Trump talks tough and makes sense but then chickens out.
