Trump just won with exactly that message you say would make him lose.

Bullshit! Trump wasn't out there saying, "I will continue to replace you with foreigners. MALA!" Which is what the H1B program is.

Let the H1Bs fight WWIII. There is pretty much no reason at all for any American to fight for this country anymore. The Uniparty con job and war on Americans continues apace.

Who cares if they can or cannot maximize profits.

It’s adorable that you think Elon Musk and the other tech bros who poured millions into the election are doing it for any reason but to influence government in order to increase their own wealth and power.

Every worker on a legal visa must be allowed to change jobs. Those that cannot do so are Indentured Servants. We abolished that in 1865.

You probably believe the Hollywood film about black women being the only reason the US made it to the moon.

Go up thread or to one of the related threads and see the H1Bs for everything fro janitors to cooks.

Troll.

If you'd actually created ANY big advanced technology companies in your life, you'd know.

Now do Sun Microsystems, Intel, and "Our doors fall off" Boeing. Troll.

>>”His [Trump’s] inner sanctum is not in or of the American heartland”

Do you still live in Tokyo?

When I think of Indian tech workers, the first thing that comes to mind is scammers. Scamming old folks out of their life savings too

>>And we are now 48 hours into the aftermath of digital Ft. Sumter and the god-king is still silent and neutral down in Florida playing golf.

You’re the first person I’ve heard imply that Trump is lazy. Actually that’s not quite true. I think some talking heads on MSNBC tried to push that narrative briefly but it went nowhere because it’s so obviously ludicrous.

As far as Trump’s relative silence on the subject for the past 48 hours, who cares? Trump doesn’t even take office for another 3 weeks. No changes to H1B will be made until then. In the mean time, he’s allowing people to weigh in on the subject.

Again Sun Micro, Intel, Tesla, Nvidia etc were founded at least in part by H1B immigrants.
Left to screaming far left lunatics like you, America would be far behind other countries in the Space and AI race, with no SpaceX or Nvidia.

There is no movie that has ever made that claim.
If you are going to spew out garbage, at least check it out before posting it.
You far left crazies don't actually create any bleeding edge companies, but you sure are good at trolling and spewing out nonsense nonstop.

That was the spirit of the movie.

You’re still a troll.

You are not “to the right” of anybody, except Joy Reid maybe.
You are even crazier than she is and even more useless.
Get help!

I’ve seen the movie and read about it over 20 years ago, long before the movie.
No such claim was made, albeit the movie was a bit gang ho.

I honestly don’t think this is about wages and benefits, these tech companies have a plethora of funds to pay wages and benefits, I think this is far more about hiring someone training them endless hours then having them leave on a whim and having to start all over, I think it has to do with the overall true passion to work of the American worker, sorry but we are sorely lacking in that department AND along with that passion for your work comes willingness to absolutely work endless hours to reach the goal desired!! We ALL know the American worker is willing to just walk off the job when it will hurt the company most, the younger generation has very little loyalty to companies they work for today it did not used to be that way in my generation! I believe this is MORE about these visas forcing the workers for exchange of the visa to stay on with the company for at least a 5 year period of time making the training time spent on them worth the effort!! This is not about money these companies and people have a plethora of money they are driven to success and they want people surrounding them with that same drive and passion!!!

Yes, I get it that YOU are a Chamber of Commerce “conservative” and think most Americans are stupid. Hey, let’s triple… no, quadruple the numbers of Indians we import. But at least make sure almost all the hiring decision makers are Indian. Oh, that’s right, they already are.

I wouldn't know a so called Chamber of Commerce “conservative” if it bit me.   I am a one hundred percent President Trump supporter, just as I was for Herman Cain and for the same reasons.   Both are/were businessmen.

My beef with you is there is no Trump weak spot, yet you look for and if not found, will create one out of whole cloth.

Reconsider that sentence.

“I’ve seen the movie...long before the movie”

I think you mean you read the book?

So we apparently need visa workers to teach Americans ENGLISH.

What a joke.
