Trump promises green cards for foreign grads

Softening his stance on immigration, former US President Donald Trump has promised to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from US colleges to prevent them from returning to their home countries like India and China where they become multibillionaires.
Trump promises green cards for foreign grads

Trump's departure from the anti-immigrant rhetoric comes ahead of the November presidential election in which immigration and deportation of illegal immigrants are among the key issues for voters.

Trump, however, always supported a merit-based legal immigration system.

"What I want to do and what I will do is - you graduate from a college, I think you should get a green card automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges too," Trump, 78, said in the "All-In" podcast.

A green card, known officially as a permanent resident card, is an identity document showing a person has permanent residency in the United States.
