    I 10,000% guarantee this would not be enacted by a Trump presidency. Worst, if some for of it was put forward it would have specific conditions limiting which country of origin this would apply to (surprise surprise: white ones).

    Please don’t get lured by the broken clock phenomenon…

      The upside of having no real stances is you can throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks towards your benefit.

      Also an upside of never implementing what you promised it doesn’t matter what you said last.

    Easy enough to setup a fake college and funnel immigrants through it, ask Trump he did it for years.

    I despise Trump with every fiber of my being but I agree with the spirit of this. We need to make it easier for legal immigrants. I would be highly suspicious of a Trump administration’s implementation of this policy, though. He makes everything about him.

      Yeah this is a pretty classic case of “heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point”

    I really can’t stand him but that is a good idea. Doubt its his tho.

    AAaand then it’s not a good idea:

    From the article:

    graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public >charges.”

    “He believes, only after such vetting has taken place, we ought to keep the most skilled graduates who can make significant >contributions to America. This would only apply to the most thoroughly vetted college graduates who would never undercut >American wages or workers,” Leavitt said in a statement to CNN.

      Last time, they avoided having the platform contradict Trump by not adopting a platform. I expect this time to be no different.

    Oops there we go with another pathetic example of a raging fascist literally outflanking a milquetost centrist on the left.

    Fuck Trump, the hateful bastard, but this is so pathetic that Biden and centrist democrats utterly refuse to engage in promising genuine reforms and providing a vision to the truly desperate (economically) american public and it is going to end up killing us all.

      “White, rich, Christian conservative foreigners only”

      This isnt Trump outflanking anyone. This is them setting up a pipeline to import foreign born conservatives to eventually vote in our elections to prop up their dwindling local support for extremist policy.

      Biden should support the green card policy without the above restrictions. That would be progress. This Trump version is nothing good at all.
