He has called the current immigration system in the US \u201cridiculous\u201d, and says he wants to see more immigrants given the chance to enter the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang spoke to the South China Morning Post on Monday, saying \u201cI would staple a green card to the diploma of any international student who graduates from an American university. It makes no sense to have people come, learn at our universities, and then go back to their own countries to work and eventually compete against us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When tensions over trading began to escalate between Washington and Beijing, the Trump administration responded by making it more difficult for Chinese students to renew their visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 11<sup>th<\/sup> of June, Chinese postgraduates studying in the United States in fields like robotics, hi-tech manufacturing, and aviation have been restricted to one-year visas. The Associated Press reported Chinese citizens trying to acquire visas require special clearance from a range of US agencies if they work as managers or researchers for companies on a list of business entities requiring high security put together by the US Commerce Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tC2hBRtx4zs?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A third of the foreign students currently enrolled in US universities come from China. Trump considers a tighter visa policy on those students as a way to keep American intellectual property protected, as well as counter the \u201cMade in China 2025\u201d plan Beijing plans to implement to control the technology and science fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of all of this, the US is facing one of the most complex immigration challenges in the world, as an estimated 11 million+ undocumented immigrants and over 4 million foreign nationals are waiting to receive their green card that allows them to become permanent residents as of last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has tightened immigration policies in the US since taking office in January 2017, citing security concerns as the main reason. Even so, Yang \u2013 who is definitely a long shot for the presidency with no political experience and a lack of backing from the big names \u2013 has decided that he will be an advocate for the opposite and go against the current climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1388\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.usgreencardoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Andrew_Yang1-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Yang\" class=\"wp-image-1388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usgreencardoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Andrew_Yang1-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.usgreencardoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Andrew_Yang1.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andrew Yang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Yang says that as a child of immigrants who came to the country in the 60s, he has first-hand experience of the energy, innovation, and dynamism immigrants can bring to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA majority of the entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are either immigrants or children of immigrants, so we need to compete for talent at the highest levels in the world. We need to say that the United States is where you should come if you want to build a business and a career, and eventually a future, and a family for yourself.\u201d Yang said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang has also said that he plans to overhaul the H-1B and F-! visa programmes together with issuing more Green Cards. These visas allow immigrants to work and study in the United States on a temporary basis. Trump has been particularly derisive of the H-1B visa, which provides a capped number of visas through a lottery system, but many companies \u2013 particularly the ones in Silicon Valley \u2013 argue that reform is required to expand, rather than contract, the current system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang plans torun his campaign on taking a softer approach to China compared to Trump, who claimed that China was a \u201ccurrency manipulator\u201d during his campaign, and has continued to suggest China engages in unfair trade practices during his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Asian-American community accounts for around 5.6% of the 325.7 million population of the United States, and Yang is confident that he can win support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> The easiest way to get a Green Card Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the easiest way to get a Green Card is still applying for one via the annual Diversity Green Card Program on<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgreencardoffice.com\/apply\">www.usgreencardoffice.com\/apply<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Presidential Hopeful Andrew Yang Promises Every International Student Will Receive a Green Card The Democrats have promised to open the door much wider following the tighter controls on Visas for Chinese citizens and foreign students imposed by President Trump\u2019s administration.
