When it comes to allowing foreighn students to come to US, which from my understanding is a likely path to citizenship, the executive branch gets to decide, which is basically elected by 51% of population every 4 years.

I prefer the exec branch over no purity test, or delegating to some other "expert" institution.

51% of the voting population. Not the majority of the population. Big difference in numbers there, only 65.3% participated. So, less than a third of Americans voted for the current president… why people don’t vote, I’ll never understand.

51% of the electorate is expected given we live in a 2 party political system

i dont care about the opinion of people who dont care to vote

absentee balots for those who cant get to a polling station is pretty reasonable nowadays

That’s not the point and I agree with you. The point was that no where near the majority voted for him since so many didn’t vote at all.
