Wall Street Journal slams Vance's foreign student stance as 'false choice'
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board on Friday slammed recent comments by Vice President Vance on foreign students as a “false choice” amid tensions between the Trump administration and higher education institutions.
In an interview on Newsmax’s “Greg Kelly Reports” late last month, Vance said that an “idea that American citizens don’t have the talent to do great things, that you have to import a foreign class of servants and professors to do these things, I just reject that.”
The Journal noted Vance’s comments in a Friday opinion piece, alongside other comments in which he said “we invest in our own people” and that he believes “that’s actually an opportunity for American citizens to really flourish” when it comes to international student visa restrictions.
“This is a classic false choice. Of course, the U.S. has talent and should invest in it. But welcoming foreign students doesn’t hinder Americans,” the editorial board said in their piece.
