Trump has vowed to give green cards to college grads. Could that actually happen?

Giving green cards to international graduates of US colleges and universities would be a major policy change. Here’s how foreign students and others are feeling about Trump’s proposal.
It’s been five months since Donald Trump made a surprising promise. The candidate known for touting immigration crackdowns told a group of tech investors that he wanted to help foreign students stay in the US. “What I want to do, and 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,” Trump said during a June interview with “The All-In Podcast.” If the president-elect pursues this proposal after he takes office, and if Congress passes the legislation that would be required to enact it, the policy could pave the way for potentially millions of international students to become legal permanent residents. But those are big ifs, especially since Trump hasn’t publicly mentioned the proposal since he first floated it, and there are many details we don’t yet know about how his new administration will approach this issue. Here’s a look at what Trump has said, how foreign students are feeling about it, how universities are responding, what critics are saying and how likely any of this is to happen.
