Laura Ingraham:
A problem, Mr. Secretary, for—I believe—the bottom of the Republican Celebration, and definitely for the Ingraham Angle for a lot of, a few years, is that this: conservatives have raised issues about overseas college students coming to the US and taking spots that will usually, clearly, be open to American college students. The President addressed this concern as a part of the Chinese language commerce deal, which may be within the offing… Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, how is permitting 600,000 college students from the Communist nation of China placing America first?Howard Lutnick:
Effectively, the President’s viewpoint is that what would occur in case you didn’t have these 600,000 college students is that you simply’d empty them from the highest. All the scholars would go as much as higher faculties, and the underside 15% of universities and faculties would exit of enterprise in America. So his view is he’s taking a rational financial view, which is basic Donald Trump taking a look at greater schooling and saying, till we modify that.Laura Ingraham:
However why are you serving to Harvard? That simply helps Harvard and UCLA and UC Berkeley. You’re all serving to these faculties. Why? They’re principally factories of anti-American propaganda. Now they’re getting a giant inflow of money due to the Chinese language college students. I do know President Trump has at all times been very pro-Chinese language pupil. I simply don’t perceive it. For the lifetime of me, these are 600,000 spots that American youngsters received’t get.
