(3,873 posts)So much corruption in so little time.
Something that, if true, no one is talking about is the idea trump has to bring 600,000 "Chinese Students". Does anyone really believe these are "students"? In no time these "students" will have green cards, and will be made citizens by some "special provision" for them to vote for republicans.
I have mentioned before that what happened in a country like Venezuela is nothing but a blueprint for other countries to implement. Chavez, when he was alive and in power, took an unknown number of "Chinese something" to Venezuela. Because the Chavez regime gave no qualms about the law, these people were given automatic citizenship that allowed them to vote for Chavez. In Chavez defense, if any can be given, this trick was first used by one of the most corrupt "Democratic" president Venezuela ever had, a man who went from policeman, low middle class to one of the wealthiest people in Venezuela, Carlos Andres Perez. Perez took people from Colombia, China, and other countries to Venezuela, gave them citizenship papers and had them vote for him and his cronies, it is a trick Chavez decided to implement as well. Well, the trump administration has looked at that blueprint and seems to want to implement it.
As always, I hope I am wrong but, someone better look into it, Democrats need to stop it.
Think about this, trump and his gang are going after universities, they are slowly but surely dismantling the Dept. of Education, destroying education in the USA, and now they want to bring 600,000 "Chinese Students"? For what purpose? In my opinion, it is not to study.

And I certainly agree that this is dangerous move.
