Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.

Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.

It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.

    Go blame your states, for not teaching properly. Even young kids now a days are fucking glued on to their tablets… always using it for entertainment purposes.

    My nephew who’s 9 visits us a lot, and he’s glued to his iPad… even when he’s trying to pick up a chair and bring it somewhere else. It’s disgusting.

      That sounds like a parent issue not so much a state issue. I guess you could argue that maybe both the kids parents are working too much and are too tired to parent… which could be considered a state issue.

      Anyone know why we keep building schools instead of hiring teachers? I swear every school near me has gotten replaced but the class size is 30 to 1.
