Trump continues to push alternative to controversial visa amid concerns about Chinese influence
Fox News
President Donald Trump intends to replace a controversial visa program with a new "gold card." Here is what to know about the program it is replacing.
"I believe that Apple and all these companies that can't get people to come out of college and come because they get thrown out, I think of it, you graduate number one at the Wharton School of Finance or Harvard or Stanford, and you get thrown out of the country. You can't stay more than one day. And they want to hire these people, but they can't. They've complained to me about it. Now they can buy a gold card, and they can take that gold card and make it a part of their deal to get these top students," Trump said on Sunday. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"You're going to have a lot of companies buying gold cards. So for $5 million now, it's a lot of money when you add it up, if we sell a lot of them," he said, later describing it as a "green card on steroids." He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
