Then there’s this...

Tucker Carlson Exposing American Companies & The Swamp For Putting American Workers Last “Companies routinely use H-1B visas as a means to fire their existing American workers and replace them with lower paid foreigners.” “If only our leaders cared to put Americans First.”

That’s why we’ve got Don PDJT holding the reins.

the truth is the foreign workers are cheaper

but if the argument is made that there are not enough Americans to fill the positions

then they are arguing for school choice

> I need to hear more, but my gut tells me this is all a play from the left to divide Trump from Elon and Vivek and perhaps the rest of us.

The only people doing the dividing here are the techbros. No one except for Musk and Ramaswamy (or their minions) are bad-mouthing real Americans and claiming we don’t have enough tech know-how right here at home. THEY kicked this anthill! We ABSOLUTELY have enough great American tech people, but Musk et al don’t want that. They want CHEAP LABOR that can have their visas revoked if they don’t comply with crap wages and treatment.

I have been working in tech since the 1990s and been very close to what is happening in this sector. I saw my beloved Valley get overrun with cheap and compliant visa immigrant tech workers who then gain citizenship and vote for Dims. Let me tell you definitively that tech leaders have been trying to screw over Americans for cheap labor for decades. Heck, look back over a decade and you can see the techbros smooching Dimocrats behinds because Dims were lax on immigration and they could get their cheap labor easily.

Now they realize that the American people won’t stand for Dims replacing them with foreigners, they pretend to align with President Trump, and then they spring this booby prize after he is elected.

It stinks and they have no business in determining how we maintain America’s sovereignty.

I always ran hot and cold on Vivek and was shocked when certain people preferred him over Vance. Thank goodness the better choice won out.

No. Not saying the left made him say what he said. I’m just saying the left seizes upon any and every opportunity to try to derail Trump, and we have to be vigilant against their efforts to do so.

It was a stupid thing to say without prefacing it with a commitment to ensure that all American engineers, developers, etc. are take care of first.

And there’s more than that I posted.

So if this from the article (”Within the tone of their argument, they essentially say the American worker is (1) not intellectual enough; (2) doesn’t have the right work ethic; and the latest point of justification is that (3) American culture is to blame for their need to import foreign workers.”) is their argument, given what Tucker and others have reported on, I’m not sure they would win that argument.

They’re in charge of cutting government waste, not advocating for foreign workers. They need to shut up, and do the job they’re told to do, or get the f-— out of the way.

There are plenty of non-woke, young white men, who would love STEM jobs, in a non-woke environment. But it's hard for them to get into college in this DEI environment.

Several years ago, I heard a podcast in which someone claimed to be a young white man in an American college, STEM program. His teacher was Indian, as were most of the students.

He said the teacher assisted the other students' with their questions and projects, but was more curt with him, providing little help. He sensed the teacher was trying to push him out of the program, trying to get him to fail and leave.

That's one anecdote. But I also hear about a lot of young white men, non-woke, who are having a hard time finding professional work in this DEI environment.

I say, let's focus on educating our youth. Cut off the supply of foreign tech workers, and force colleges and corporations to train our youth.

I don't care what label you put on it. Conservative, MAGA, populist, nationalist. To hell with all labels. It's good policy, whatever label you put on it.

The H1-B problem has existed since the 1980’s.

The companies have been rewarded, in the past, with tax write-offs for hiring them.

So, no H1-B’s, pay more taxes!!

The military/industrial complex, and the adjoining federal oversight offices, have their shareof them, too.

We need the companies, the companies have slots to fill, with intelligent people, and if Gen Z is not up to the task, whachhagonnadoboutdat?

I believe you are 100% correct. By all means put the world's best minds to work Making America Great Again. I can support that as long as we focus on better educating the young minds already here so they will be able to compete with, and excel beyond, the current world's best minds in the future. We need to fix or eliminate both public education and immigration before we get too excited about bringing global talent into the country through work visas.

Trump himself has talked about encouraging the brightest of the bright to stay in America. But that’s different from importing average engineering and science grads simply to lower the cost to tech companies. Vivek, as usual, is motivated by something other than MAGA. If his views on this matter don’t wake people up to him, eventually he will expose himself. He’s simply too self-servingly ambitious and self promoting to be trusted. Elon has his own baggage, but I trust him more than I trust Vivek.

The challenge for Trump is to use these tech billionaires rather than being used by them. It’s easy enough to banish them and declare them enemies of MAGA, but then you risk turning them into public enemies who use their money and influence to thwart you at every turn. It’s better if Trump can get what he can from them while avoiding being sucked in and manipulated by them. As the saying goes, keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

There are certainly “whiz Kids”, and that goes for most professions. But you’re right. The average, accomplished professional in computers and other tech fields is simply someone of above average intelligence who dedicates himself to being good at what he does.

I haven’t really followed Vivek and Musk on this issue, but IF they are promoting the expanding of H-1B visas, they are stabbing MAGA in the heart.

MAGA doesn’t mean sh** if instead of sending jobs off-shore to benefit woke corporations and globalists, we are just bringing the off-shore here to benefit woke corporations and globalists.

Trump should make his position clear on this, or he will lose support.
