What is there to address. Hanson is either an idiot, or a confidence man making bank off, well yeah, idiots. I mean 500,000 criminals deported? That number makes no sense. One million new jobs for Americans? Completely fabricated, no bearing on reality. The rant about higher education, he was just telling you what you want to hear. He knows, those foreign students, paying full boat, they are essential to the financial standing of any university.
I mean it reminds me of what happened here in North Carolina with the Republican dominated legislature. The North Carolina School for Match and Science is one of the highest ranking High Schools in the country. Used to be, you graduate from there you got a full ride to any state college. Nope, Republicans axed that. And used to be, many of those students went on to graduate from a state university and, imagine this, they stayed in the state. Not anymore.
You don't think the same thing doesn't apply to foreign students that come here? I mean Elon Musk comes to mind. You think he would be living here under today's conditions? That is just it, many of those foreign students, they choose to stay here. That is quickly changing and that is our loss.
I mean when you get right down to it. This weekend we learn, more people are leaving this country than are coming in. Those on the right, they think that is a good thing. But stop to think about it, do you want to live in a country where people are fighting to get out, or do you want to live in a country where people are fighting to get in? Two things, I often hear from the right about how people are leaving California, how that is a bad thing, reflects on how bad California is. But now, people are leaving the United States, and that is a good thing? Help me out here.
But second, I have said it from the beginning. Countries don't build big, beautiful, walls to keep people out. They build them to keep people in. Looks like that is where we are headed.
