On June 20, 2024, on the All In Podcast, host Jason Calacanis asked President Donald Trump:
We need high-skilled workers in this country. We need to recruit the best and brightest from the world. Every time we get somebody super
intelligent from India or Europe, any country [...] that's a loss for our adversaries and our competitors, and it's a gain for us. But I've never heard you talk about this. Can you please promise us you will give us more ability to import the best and brightest around the world to America?
Trump replied:
I do promise, but I happen to agree, that's why I promise, otherwise I wouldn't promise. Let me just tell you that it's so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the greatest schools and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also. [...] What I will do is: you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically as part of your diploma a green card to be able to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges too. Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years if you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country [...] on day one.
This will resolve to the set of colleges and universities that this policy will apply to by the end of 2025. It will resolve N/A if Trump loses the November 2024 presidential election.
