Thought PDJT was going to write an EO clarifying the 14th Amend.

It was never meant to give citizenship to the children of aliens, especially illegal ones.

This was never an issue before the 1980s.

These are people who want to live in Mexico but work here. Sure they send money to Mexico but I don’t care. These are the kind of people we want, not border invaders who contribute nothing!

There really are many jobs that “Americans” won’t do.

I have read and heard it too.

Just one example is picking strawberries.

There is no job Americans won't do - for the right price. Work visas are welfare for corporations, with American workers getting stuck with the bill.

I thought we were full up. Trump said so a couple of days ago.

What American patriots want are jobs for Americans.

SF Gate? You never Trumper’s are no better then dems. You’ll accept any spin or trash the msm puts out and spread it like manure.

DHS and Labor announced their plans. Are you saying that they didn't and the newspaper is lying?

Every work visa issued means one less job for an American.

Nope...business keeps saying too many applicants cannot pass a drug tests, aren’t qualified or are are whiney snowflakes.
Employers on the space coast are really hurting for employees

I’m thinking he’s waiting/hoping that Ginsburg gets off SCOTUS. If/when that happens and he puts up Barrett, then I think it’ll be full speed ahead with a lot of things. Unfortunately, there’s an army of lawyers that will work for free to obstruct everything he’s trying to do, out of their own political bias. And he knows everything is headed to the 9th Circuit. He, and we, also know that Roberts has replaced Kennedy and will more than willingly, side with the Liberals on the court. If Barrett gets in, then there’s nothing Roberts can do.

Hell, if Barrett does get on, we might even see a couple of more vacancies and really tip the court in the right direction. God willing.

On a side note...

At 85, Ginsburg sometimes appears frail, moving at a slow shuffle with her head slumped at the shoulders. But her entrance in the courtroom Tuesday was unusually vigorous. She darted quickly to her seat beside Chief Justice John Roberts with her head aloft, cheeks locked in a broad smile.

As is often the case, Ginsburg asked the first question at Tuesday’s argument, pressing attorneys just moments after the proceedings began. Though she is usually a subdued presence — and sometimes almost inaudible — Ginsburg advanced her question Tuesday with strength and clarity.

So, did she find the fountain of youth or go swimming in that pool in the movie, Cocoon?

“There is no job Americans won’t do - for the right price. “

Sure, so how would you like to pay $30 for a pound of strawberries?

I pay it either way - at the grocery store, or in taxes for benefits to the "cheap" foreign laborer and his brood, not to mention the unemployed American. I'd rather do it at the grocery store, where at least I have a choice.

A real disappointment, Mr. Pres.

What about the American worker and stagnated wages? Have you forgotten that?

Yes,that is what they say no matter the different demographics where they want hires. Terrible American workers.

So they hire people with questionable educations and backgrounds, who usually speak less than ideal English, but even they speak decent English, they don’t speak the culture.

Oh. But they work for less.

It is corporatist globalist propaganda
