Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will end the J1 Visa programme if elected according to a policy paper on immigration published on his website.
The billionaire businessman described the scheme as a jobs programme for foreign youths and wants it replaced with a jobs programme for US youths in inner cities.
He said the scheme will be "terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers" to the J1 visa programme.
Mr Trump has made immigration a cornerstone of his election platform and said millions of undocumented immigrants in the US must leave.
He has also vowed to rescind President Barack Obama’s executive orders that have slowed deportations of illegal immigrants and to end birthright citizenship, which allows anyone born on US soil to obtain US citizenship.
However, he was vague on details on how to deal with undocumented immigrants and would not confirm where those with nowhere to go would be sent.
