Rosemary Jenks, Policy Director for the Immigration Accountability Project, appeared on The War Room with Steve Bannon to discuss how U.S. immigration policies are affecting American students and recent graduates.
The project released a study showing that a majority of likely voters support mass deportations, a finding that has prompted calls for policy review.
Jenks argued that current regulations discriminate against U.S. students, limiting their access to higher‑education opportunities and contributing to a talent gap.
She noted that foreign students occupy university seats, particularly in medical training, which forces American students to compete for a finite number of spots.
After graduation, residency restrictions further limit American graduates’ access to medical residencies, exacerbating the problem.
The discussion also highlighted the concentration of foreign students in technology programs, with many coming from China and South Asia, raising concerns about potential intelligence risks.
Jenks maintained that immigration policy should prioritize American interests, asserting that no rational country would displace its own citizens to accommodate foreign education.
She called for a comprehensive reevaluation of immigration policy to ensure it benefits domestic workers and protects U.S. educational opportunities.
The interview underscored that many Americans remain unaware of how current immigration policies harm young Americans, emphasizing the need for urgent policy change.
