Laura Ingraham Presses Trump On Allowing Flood Of Chinese Students Into US

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham did not let President Donald Trump off the hook on Monday as she pressed him on allowing a flood of Chinese students to study in the U.S.

Trump confirmed in August that the administration will allow 600,000 Chinese students to attend U.S. colleges and universities to continue the nation’s “very important relationship” with China. Ingraham, on “The Ingraham Angle,” continued to ask the president how allowing this many Chinese students to be admitted into U.S. schools is a “pro-MAGA position.”

“Why, sir, is that a pro-MAGA position when so many American kids want to go to schooland there are places not for them and these universities are getting rich off Chinesemoney?”

“ never said about China, but we do have a lot of people coming in from China.We always have China and other countries. We also have a massive system of collegesand universities. And if we were to cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business,” Trump said, prompting Ingraham to doubt that the U.S. relies on China to keep universities open.

Ingraham reminded Trump that the Chinese government spies on Americans and steals intellectual property from the U.S. Trump stated that he views his policy as a business transaction in order to have a good relationship with China and to ensure that American universities continue thriving.

“I know you and I disagree. We’re never going to agree
