The tweet, to which I was reacting, is actually a year old. It had been presented, on another site, as brand-new (same month and day, but different year).

Coming right after the Laura Ingraham interview, it looked like he was about to stiff white-collar US workers, the exact opposite of his approach with blue-collar workers.

A number of people have written me, both privately and in open thread, to correct my impressions and to discuss the issue more thoroughly.

Someone raised the valid point, that if done a certain way, a change to the H1-B laws/rules, would make them LESS attractive to employers, if the changes would make it impossible for employers to threaten them with summary expulsion from the US if they didn't work (say) 80-hour weeks.

And you rightly point out, that the left instinctively shouts out the very OPPOSITE of whatever Trump wants: compare the Dems' position on the wall, pre-Trump to today.

And you are completely correct about everything else the President has been doing; your suggestions about Iran's new weapon were VERY interesting. (My own take, is that the attack on the embassy were meant to be "Trump's Benghazi" and to weaken him prior to Peach Mint in the Senate. A move which worked about as well as any of the other Wile E. Coydemocrat schemes.)

Back to our regularly scheduled Q thread, oh Mother of Dragons!

Sounds like we need to demand a "Hire Americans First" policy.
