Trump's latest immigration move actually puts America last

For President Trump, almost every issue comes back to immigration. So, it’s not exactly surprising that as a part of the Trump administration’s plan to restart the American economy after the coronavirus shutdown, officials plan on restricting the program that allows international students to work in the United States after graduation.

Under the banner of “America First,” Trump officials pursue this policy agenda with ostensibly patriotic intentions. The president and his officials seem to believe that cutting back on international competition for jobs will help college graduates who are entering the job market at a time of steep recession. This would be a very valid reason to go through with the proposed cuts — if it were actually true.
