Former President Donald Trump has pledged to issue green cards to college graduates, a policy that revives an idea initially proposed by Hillary Clinton. This move appears to be part of Trump's broader immigration vetting plans. Critics have pointed out the inconsistency in Trump's stance, as he has previously opposed H-1B visas, arguing they take jobs away from American citizens. The new policy would suspend all caps on green cards for American-trained students, even those who are undocumented, which contradicts Trump's earlier promises to deport undocumented immigrants.

I mean if you buy that a college degree makes you of greater worth than not then this is a perfectly fine take https://t.co/SstYsdg1zi
If you’re a pro-immigration activist tweeting “unfortunately you gotta hand it to him” let me guarantee you with 110% certainty that there no chance in hell he actually does this https://t.co/F2T3YpVuum
So the guy who hates H-1Bs because they take jobs away from American citizens (allegedly) now just wants to suspend all caps on Green Cards for American trained students. Including the undocumented he vowed to deport. Riiiiiiiiiight https://t.co/5n91LkVBAK
