Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that Indians studying in America should not be kicked out of America because the country requires smart people like them.

"Whether we like that or not, they pay, et cetera, et cetera but we educate a lot of people, very smart people. We need those people in the country," Trump told Fox News.

"They cannot come into the country. You know, they go to Harvard, they are first in their class and they're from India they go back to India and they setup companies and they make a fortune and they employ lots of people and all of that," he added.

"Many people want to stay in this country and then want to do that. I think somebody that goes through years of college in this country we shouldn't kick them out the day they graduate, which we do," Trump said, thus clarifying his position on certain aspect of H-1B visas.

When it comes to the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, Trump has been widely accused that he either wants everything or nothing. Regarding this, he has been saying that the H-1B visa programme should be scrapped, as it is "very unfair" for American workers who are losing their jobs.
