This is grandstanding to the elitists in the left, and shenanigans like these are why Trump & Co. got elected in the first place.

Lower middle class in the Midwest/rest of the USA will see this as a giveaway to the migrants, and become even more disenfranchised.

If we are going to import immigrants from the rest of the world, let us be selective upon intellectual and artistic abilities, not on what is politically trendy today.

Edit: yes they are private and can do whatever they want, but if they are taking federal funding then this should not be tolerated.

While I like this idea, the burden is shifted to the students couldn't get a scholarship; Students who are probably working to pay for school or have taken out loans that will take years to pay for.

Wow a 4 year education there will cost ~$250k.
