I don’t want them but…: Trump defends foreign students amid US visa crackdown

As Trump spoke to Laura Ingraham on Fox News in an interview, he admitted that half of the students in US come from all over the world.

“You don’t want to cut half of the people, half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country — destroy our entire university and college system — I don’t want to do that,” he said adding that it is actually good to have foreign students. “Look I want to be able to get along with the world,” he affirmed.

Repeatedly pushed by Ingraham on why he wouldn’t reduce the number of students from foreign countries, Trump argued that reducing the numbers of foreign students would cause financial harm to the university system and lead some schools, including historically Black institutions, to go “out of business.”
