Chinese students come to milk our education system and then bring their newfound education back to China to make China great.

 
When President Donald Trump descended the escalator in June of 2015, he reminded Americans of something many of their leaders had forgotten: “Our country has tremendous potential. We have tremendous people.”

And he was right — Americans are tremendous people with tremendous potential, which is why it’s so disheartening that the same man now says he wants to give 500,000 Chinese nationals student visas.

Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday that he doesn’t want to “insult” China by denying student visas to some half a million Chinese nationals.

“‘I don’t want any students’ is a very insulting thing to say to a country,” Trump told Hannity — as if not insulting China should ever be a top priority or a consideration on which to base policy decisions. “If you don’t have those students, good students by the way … if you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it. … The ones that won’t be hurt are the top schools; the top schools will do fine. But your lower schools … the ones that don’t do quite as well, those schools, they’ll be dying all over the place.”

With he exception of the moon bit, nothing Trump has done in term 2 has made America great again in any capacity whatsoever.

The American people need to file a class action suit against the GOP.  Everything about the campaign was a fraud.  Manboobs will probably sign an amnesty bill after the dems take over congress, and primary the handful of republicans who oppose him on it.

He has secured our southern border, but that was done all through executive orders, which can be overturned in a heartbeat once DEMS have the majority.

Thanks to our useless and unproductive GOP, they haven't done a darn thing to ensure that any of Trump's policies will remain in place.

Class action lawsuit against a political  party?  I'm not sure that, that's legal and if it is, it's too late.  The damage is already done.

Yeppers, Manboobs is going to bring his wrath on red states, conservatives and Christians.

Happy days are ahead.

It depends.  If they're getting fellowships or scholarships from their university to pay their way, there's nothing MAGA about it.  If they're paying money from the PRC for their studies, while it may be contrary to our national interest on a security level (depending on their course of study), it helps our balance of payments with the PRC and the rest of the world.

Yes this is absolutely the other half of it. They are useless!

But it does provide more payroll for communist college professors.

And after the 500,000 graduate, many will be seeking employment in the big beautiful Chinese factories 47 has invited Xi to build in the US.

Keep you cats and small dogs safe, as Chinese restaurants blossom all over the country ...
