After 10 years of betraying their voters the Conservative Party of the U.K. has been abandoned by its members for the Reform Party. A few days ago Reform Party paying membership surpasses the Tories after the Reform Party was strategic in removing the feckless, back-stabbing Tories in the election held earlier this year.
In 2016 Brexit was predictive of Trump's surprise defeat of D.C.'s heroine Hillary Clinton and now the election repudiation of the Conservative Party this year predicts a MAGa voter backlash if the GOP under President Trump does not stop the foreign invasion and colonization of America and does not throttle both illegal and legal colonization of America to the detriment of its citizens.
Conservative Party of the U.K. ruled for 14 straight years before losing.
We should be so lucky.
America didn’t need this immigration 60 years ago and look what it did to us.
America is full and a broken country severed from its history and its people and their culture and traditions, end immigration.
H1-B is the U.S. term, it has nothing to do with the U.K.
Somehow this crap will be straightened out by Trump, as he has his pulse on the Republican base FAR BETTER than his techi’s.
I'll vote for J.D. Vance. If he's not on the ballot, I'll vote for Ron DeSantis.
Really? Is that the best argument you have? Of course the H-1B program is only in America but rampant, unchecked and colonizing-level immigration is the problem shared by both countries.
It will only take around 20 more years for American white males to become serfs.
If you have a hammer and it doesn’t drive nails, it’s time to get rid of the hammer and get a new one that works for you. If the GOP doesn’t live up to its promises then why should I care if it is in power? For the past 30 years the GOP has broken every promise and we’ve gone full communist thanks for their weakness.
It is ‘put up or shut up’ time for the GOP.
The foreign engineers I hired as an engineering manager were American citizens. I hired them because I desperately needed engineers who could communicate in writing with the customer. The difference between the foreign-born engineers was, across the board, they could all write a letter that clearly and concisely got across the point. I almost never had to edit anything they wrote. None of these guys spoke English as their native language. The American born engineers were practically illiterate. Yes, they knew their job. But it wasn’t the most important thing while they were at work. Not the same story with the foreign-born guys. When they were at work, they were at work.
American schools have failed in the basic k-12 education system. While the engineering schools could still, at that time, turn out acceptable engineers, they couldn’t write and didn’t want to learn. I’d bring them in, explain what a paragraph was, and how to construct a letter. They weren’t interested.
Next up, the present university system is turning out subpar engineers. I think this is because the system has been at war with white males especially for a long time. About two years ago the number of females in college exceeded the number of males. A win in the War on Men. Blame the government.
The answer is not to import H1Bs. It’s to reverse the War on Men. It’s to emphasize STEM. It’s to improve education across the board. I’d suggest step one is getting the government out of it...entirely. Give the parents vouchers and the education system will improve overnight.
The main immigration problems are definitely not H1-Bs. That’s just how they want frame it. The real problem is a wide open border, anchor babies, public monies going to illegals, illegal alien crime, illegals voting, Illegals overloading the entire system, etc.
They want The H1-B visas to be a wedge issue. I trust and support Trump’s decision on this matter 100%. He will make sure that there are safeguards for American workers and that’s good enough for me. Now let’s close the border and stop the flow of terrorists, murders, crime gangs, cartels, rapists, and every malcontent the world over from entering the country.
We need to keep the Trump coalition together in order to defeat the real enemy, Washington D.C. inc. Right now everything else is small ball.
Vance gets it.
Yep. The MAGA coalition is going to have to realize that we may have some disagreements on this issue. And it's up to Trump to make the call.
The Deep State is trying to divide us so they can conquer us.
The H1B program admits a max of 85,000 (65 regular, 20 masters) people per year. It does need to be reformed but it is not the main driver of immigration numbers.
Currently if there are more than 85000 then there is a lottery. This encourages Indian IT bodyshop consulting companies to submit huge numbers of applications. The process should be on salary. The highest salaries offered get the slots. This will encourage applications only from those that really need rare skills and lessen the undercutting of US workers.
The government needs to quit subsidizing college degrees that do not make America greater. You want a degree in gender/race/queer studies, social services, art, theater, or some other crap “studies”? Pay your own damn way! The taxpayers should not be loaning you the money, nor subsidizing you in any other way.
If you are intelligent and motivated enough to be successful in a STEM field or any occupation that is both in demand and likely to result in employment that will allow you to pay off a student loan, then private financial institutions should have no problem loaning you money. At that point, college and university tuitions will be limited to market conditions rather than swimming in our tax dollars.
But the first steps need to be at home, in our communities, and in our K-12 school systems.
How dare you to question any portion of the man behind the curtain’s plans, programs or intentions. Trump plays 4D chess and we mere mortals are not able to even appreciate or let alone understand the greatness of that. Never mind that he has 13 billionaires in his syndicate who are the smartest people in the world. Why, Musk and Ramaswami alone have more brain power than all the computers in the world and beyond. If Trump alone can’t figure out what is best for us they can do the job with both hands tied behind their backs.
The H-1b program has been abused since it was introduced by the odious Bush administration. Only a fool would allow the program to remain in place to be further abused by our establishment. Do you really trust government that much?
“The MAGA coalition is going to have to realize that we may have some disagreements on this issue.”
Giving American jobs to cheap(er) foreign labor can have no place in Make America Great Again.
“ H1-B is the U.S. term, it has nothing to do with the U.K.”
