Trump flip-flops on immigration, and I’ll bet MAGA just rolls over and accepts it!” stated a user on X. Frank DeScushin, a Republican supporter on X argued, “Trump's plan to give any foreign student graduating a US college a green card, including two-year colleges, will increase the number of immigrants coming to and staying in the US, and increase the competition for college spots making it more difficult for American students” So, can Donald Trump be trusted over green card remark? During his presidential tenure Trump even proposed curbs on legal immigration such as family-based visas and the visa lottery program and went on to issue his “Buy American and Hire American” executive order.
