This would be a massive reversal from Trump’s policies so far, which have threatened international students’ ability to enter the country and jeopardized the admissions of many top institutions — and it also contradicts his prior moves to revoke visas for Chinese students. But the new pledge, which was backed up by Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, provoked instant fury from the MAGA world.

      “If we are only mass deporting 1,000 illegals each day…

      He’s not just deporting illegals, he’s deporting US citizens and people with valid visas that happen to be brown. There is no due process.

      but allowing 600,000 Chinese spies to come to our country,

      every Chinese student that comes here is a spy?

      We will never get rid of the millions who came in under Biden

      Millions of what?

          “All Chinese are spies” “all brown people are illegals.”

          These are very racist comments. Did you not register these statements as racist since this kind of language is purposely being bled into every day normal talk with (typically) right wing political figures?
