“You have to be elite… like Elon Musk, who violated his student visa by illegally working after he dropped out of school. He also moved to Canada to get out of South Africa’s mandatory military service”
Q: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight. So how do you decide who is the next Elon Musk?

VANCE: One, does the person fill a position that simply cannot be filled by an American worker? Two, is this person a truly elite human being?

Q: Do you have any reaction to a US ambassador asking someone to pay off debt in exchange for access to other government officials?

VANCE: Well, so -- with that hypothetical, obviously I don't love that, but I, you know, I don't know exactly who you're talking about, I don't know the full details

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What?

This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students.

I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong.

Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.
Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Let's all remember prime examples of this hideous practice: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and David Sacks... Musk of course fraudulently gained admission to the US on the basis of a Stanford admission, and then went off to work, illegally. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump showed up in Texas looking for cheers. Instead, his rally turned into absolute chaos.

Protesters interrupting, Trump supporters getting physical, shouting matches, and security scrambling. So much for that Paxton boost.
