Trump's Surprising Turnaround on Green Card Access Could Appeal to Business Leaders

Former President Donald Trump recently expressed support for giving green cards to all non-citizen graduates of U.S. colleges, which contrasts with his previous anti-immigration rhetoric. This proposal angered some Republicans but could appeal to business interests that rely on hiring high-skilled immigrant workers. Experts say the stance signals a potential shift towards supporting high-skill immigration that may attract independent and suburban voters. Critics argue the idea is unworkable and could incentivize foreign students to see their education as a path to citizenship rather than skill-building.
