The only real problem with the plan is will just be take advantage of. People will get meaningless easy degrees just to get a green card. I guess it's tied to employment but im actually not sure how that works. I think it should be tied to only certain types of degrees from accredited schools.

I'd assume in practice it would require a school to be accredited, because I think that's the kind of rule that the bureaucracy would instantly put into place, and that a president would never overrule because of the potential for bad press.and the fiddliness of it.

Accreditation isn't an enormous hurdle, but I've heard one or maybe two stories of schools shutting down because they couldn't make the bar.

The specific-degree requirement you suggest is probably for the best but may be politically a harder sell.

I imagine accreditation is a hard sell at this point too on the right given that the right may see a connection between government accreditation and the indoctrination they say is rampant in the higher education system, and the desire I imagine to create more religious schools that may benefit from not being accredited.

Yes they should only work for degrees at Trump University and citizenship should only be extended after they prove they can work for 4 years as unpaid interns at a Trump resort/casino.
