This is problematic in other arenas even though it does seem to solve the problem the bottom-feeders milking the American immigration system. I'll explain below based on my own experiences.

Interesting analysis, however we need to dig deeper. Read whenever you have time.
Although the H1B system is criticized for its temporary nature and dependence on employer sponsorship the impact is somewhat contained. Since it is a temporary visa workers are often subject to job changes and layoffs which adds a layer of instability (and the anemic welfare system then lets them roost on the streets). However the displacement effect is mostly sector-specific impacting fields like tech and engineering driven by companies seeking to cut labor costs.
The other thing to consider is the "no work visa limitation." Unlike the H1B, which is temporary and requires a sponsor, the stapled green card would allow the foreign worker to stay indefinitely and shift jobs as they please (existing first-time green cards beyond the probationary period are 10-year minimum upon receipt). This makes them permanent members of the labor pool.
In the proposed green-card stapling program the transition to permanent residency with no job ties would significantly widen the displacement effect. Foreign nationals can legally remain in the U.S. labor market indefinitely competing for jobs with native-born citizens without any expiration on their work permits. This would increase the labor force of foreign workers in high-skill industries like STEM exacerbating wage suppression and reducing opportunities for U.S. citizens, particularly in fields already affected by global competition. The proposal does nothing to guarantee that native-born workers, especially the White American majority, would be prioritized in the job market.
It's true that tuition fees at elite U.S. universities are high, the proposal still favors the wealthy. It creates an exclusive system where only the elite foreign nationals who can afford these tuition costs will gain access to the green card stapling pathway. This dynamic does little to restrict immigration and instead reinforces the status quo of wealth-based access to U.S. immigration. Can Whites benefit from this? Yes and no.
For native-born Americans, particularly those in the working-class or without the means to attend expensive universities, this policy does not address the critical issue of economic opportunity. It fails to provide a meaningful pathway for domestic workers to be trained or equipped to compete in these high-skill sectors, leaving wealthy foreign nationals with better opportunities while native-born White Americans are displaced, economically at first, and as a subservient underclass to a foreign elite over time. In one generation they would see the replacing of all the Mexican landscapers with White hillbilly landscapers and all the White CEOs and Engineers and Doctors with jeets, arabs, and chinks, effectively coercing Whites into a downward trend where if they refuse to mix or submit to the brown that was given the executive position over them they are castigated yet again in a new class warfare. In the very least the friction will have become more chaffed.
The only behavior that we can confirm in reality for all corporations is that they will always find ways to exploit cheaper labor. While green card stapling might initially sound like a benefit for high-skilled foreign students, the larger picture is one where employers will be able to secure a permanent and unlimited source of cheap, skilled labor. This doesn’t benefit American workers, it benefits global corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk who are more interested in profit maximization than in addressing the real needs of the native US workforce.
The “4D chess” narrative assumes that Trump’s moves are brilliant strategic plays but in reality they align with globalist interests and a shift away from protecting native workers in favor of a more homogenized and globalized labor market. Certainly there is some political manipulation Trump uses against his opponents, but this move, supported by autistic billionaires like Elon, are bad for Americans. Foreign scabs have been parasitizing off of the American education pipeline for decades.
Your claim that this is a "4D chess" strategy to outsmart the system and create an unintended positive effect is a well-intentioned rationalization but in practice it reflects a failure to account for the long-term impact on the native population. This is not some brilliant subversion of immigration policies that would result in a win for the American worker. It is instead a direct accommodation of corporate interests that benefits elites and hurts working-class White Americans in high-skill sectors.
As much as the "4D chess" narrative serves as a comforting justification for those hoping for deeper strategy, the reality is that green card stapling will increase foreign competition in highly competitive job markets and undermine wage levels. (Jeet engineers are willing to subject themselves to slave labor for 70k a year for a position that most Whites are used to doing at 140-150k.) This is not an unintended side effect, it is the logical consequence of a policy that prioritizes the needs of corporations over the welfare of native-born citizens.
I have worked in STEM fields both in America and in Europe and this is what I see on the ground.
The problem with the kinds of foreign students coming to American universities and comprising a sizeable demographic in the STEM fields, the fields that would most likely be targeted by this graduation-to-residency stapling condition, is that they're all subpar drones. The Indians, the Chinese, the Arabs, they all cheat off of one another and their positive contributions to actual scientific innovation are nil. That's why they are scabs, scabs with degrees and honorary titles, but scabs nonetheless. Any one of you who grew up in the 80s in a big city remembers the issues with unions, strikes, affirmative action quotas boiling over and domestic scabs, but this is a many times worse as it brings the competition to the top instead of the bottom, and forces and outsourcing of a large percentage of future leadership roles.
When one racial caste gets into significant demographic power they inevitably push the primacy of their own before the native population, we already see this with the jeets everywhere they go. They may not be not raping and killing everyone (yet) like the mestizo, African, and arabs are, but it's another "f you we're in charge now" mentality that doesn't need to exist in America or Europe that's already swelling.
If anything, yes this green-card stapling program should have every White rushing to study their asses off so that they don't end up under a non in an alleged meritocratic society, however, the efficiency of the foreign scabs in cheating and their own in-group preference are difficult to counter by an atomized race of propagandized souls. Though jews are the worst, every other race out there looks out for their own in ways that 21st century deracinated White man finds inconceivable for them to apply to their own. That is changing though.
