Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.
Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.
It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.
Trump probably thinks more along the lines of 600,000 new workers he can abuse ala FoxConn style. A.k.a. let’s import 600k workers who won’t complain about shit work conditions and little pay, or even payment in company dollars that can only be used in the company store
