The following day, June 10, 2025, Rep. Schriver expressed strong opinions about the importation of foreign workers compared to offshoring American jobs. He stated that “IMPORTING FOREIGN WORKERS IS 100 TIMES WORSE THAN OFFSHORING AMERICAN JOBS.” This statement was emphasized with the hashtag #AmericaFirst.
Later on June 10, 2025, Rep. Schriver addressed the issue of foreign-born students in Michigan’s colleges and universities. He claimed that “foreign-born college/university students across Michigan have DOUBLED in just 4 years,” suggesting that this increase results in “40,000 foreign students deny[ing] 40,000 acceptance letters to qualified Michigan students.” He called for Michigan’s Higher Education budget to prioritize state residents.
These statements come amidst ongoing discussions about immigration policies and educational priorities within local and national contexts.
