The White House said that Trump's proclamation "allows for potential exemptions, which can include physicians and medical residents."

Hiring workers on a H-1B visa may now cost employers $100,000 more. Here's why the CTO of an expanding AI company isn't worried about that price tag.

Trump and Chinese students. Trump says they're coming in and we need them. And his administration is systematically denying all their visa applications. Typical case of Trump chaos.

So, 3 months ago, the US govt said it would "aggressively" revoke visas of Chinese students. Now, Trump wants to "welcome more Chinese students than ever." I feel sorry for the Chinese students, for US visa officials, for anyone who still attempts to make sense of US politics.

President Trump threw his own conservative base into disarray this week after declaring he would welcome 600,000 Chinese students to American universities — a position that clashes with his administration’s past hard line on student visas. belib.org/oNCg6qX

Go-go boots Ronnie says we have too many Chinese students while the orange conman wants to allow another 600,000 in. Keep infighting. We like that #USDemocracy www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/educa...

President Donald Trump has sparked backlash from some members of his loyal base by saying his administration would allow 600,000 Chinese students into American universities.

Right-wing media has spent years portraying Chinese international students as economic saboteurs or outright spies. Why? In part because key figures inside Trump world have been making that case for years. Now Trump is calling for 600,000 Chinese student visas. NEW from Will Sommer:

Q: "In May, Sec. Rubio said they were aggressively removing visas of Chinese students. Yesterday, you said you wanted to allow 600 thousand Chinese students to study in the U.S....What is the policy on Chinese students?" Trump: "I'm getting along very well with President Xi. I think it's very insul

OTTAWA — Population growth in Canada slowed slightly in the last quarter of the year as the government made efforts to reduce temporary migration into the country, Statistics Canada revealed Wednesday.

New net migration figures covering 2024 will be released on Thursday. Fewer visas have been granted, so it's widely expected that numbers will fall. But here are 3 questions we'll be asking when the stats are released.

"“In this hyperpolarized environment and debate, many people have missed the big picture,” said Marco Tabellini, an economist who studies migration and political change at Harvard University. “Countries in the global north will have to really compete for migrants.”

We think the world will always be how it is now. But I think we need to imagine a world in which there are too few migrants, and many more nations competing to attract them. This is the first in a series I'll be publishing about global migration. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/o...

Elon Musk sys that he and President Trump are in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Many Reddit users are boycotting X after Elon Musk twice made a gesture that resembled a Nazi salute during President Trump’s inaugural celebration.

France’s President Macron stated that Elon Musk is "directly intervening in elections, including Germany" and "supporting a new reactionary international." At least 3 other European leaders Olaf Scholz, Keir Starmer & Jonas Gahr Støre have called out Musk in last 24 hours.
