And yet he’s making it tougher to apply for H1b’s and has multiple Senators begging him to let in more - like both of Maine’s Senators last week.
We of course need far less imported labor. A tight labor market is a good thing. Real wages rising for the first time in decades is a good thing. Corporate lobbyists won’t like it but the vast majority of Americans will.
Letting the drug dealers out
Letting the H1B’s in
Ivanka’s many women’s entrepreneurial initiatives
I don’t understand how any of this is Conservative.
Topic for discussion — Should patriots be against ALL immigration? Believe it or not, all immigrants aren’t poverty stricken, pro-socialist undesirables from Latin America or Hati. Or serious Muslims who want to vote Christian’s out of their religion. Many of them raise kids with better work habits than our own kids. And should we shed any tears when socislist, gender-hostile high tech workers are replaced by foreigners who have more respect for America than the Seattle whites with whom they would be competing? (Please don’t flame me.)
Need to drastically cut welfare before some Americans will get off their collective asses. There is a market for unskilled/low skilled labor, like it or not. Before the day laborers were standing around the Home Depot parking lot it wold be often difficult to recruit laborers. I have been there when porch sitters declined an opportunity to work because they were doing just fine on welfare. The problem on the other end of this is (low/unskilled) people thinking they can have a career and raise a large family on a minimum wage job. Then they demand more pay. The employer can’t afford the increase. The job goes away. More on welfare.
Cut out freebies past bare necessities, (and a smart phone isn’t one) and demand more from our indigenous population.
Don’t bother being an American in silicon valley. They only import workers.
Trump has never said he doesn’t want immigrants (whether or not you agree with that position). He said people need to come in who fill a need (merit based immigration). He doesn’t have the votes for that. He also said he wants to stop all the illegals by putting up a wall and ending catch and release. Trump is doing what he can but you all elected a bunch of people who don’t want to do anything Trump was elected on. If you don’t like what’s going on Trump is the absolute wrong target.
You are crap. Trump has fought everyone for a wall. You just have a hard time when you have such a strong economy and everyone else has a weak economy. They come here every way they can. Trump is like a great quarterback on a bad team. He needs some players around him.
The estimate right now is there are roughly 7 million unfilled jobs in the US. Someone has to fill those slots. I’m all for America and Americans first, but it seems to me that if you want to work, you’re working right now. So as long as all Americans who want to be employed are employed, we should let good folks in here to take those jobs.
As long as they come from an ethno-European country, I’m good. But why doesn’t he just offer tax credits for having children that increase the more you have?
I love Trump. He fights against more foes than any other POTUS. He is amazing. I did see a shift in his SOTU. He said he wanted more immigration than ever. He did truly not push for the wall until we lost the House. I can understand tactical reasons for his behavior. I want him to be re-elected. I’ll leave it at that.
Wages aren’t up enough to justify the need for more immigrants. Plus it’s not like illegal immigration has been massively reduced either. I’ll wait and see what Trump actually does over what he said though.
H1B / Immigration bump for later.....
These actions are in direct opposition to the reasons most folks voted from Trump.
If he continues down this path he will not be reelected.
President Trump has always said he wants LEGAL immigrants so what’s the problem? The answer is there is no problem; no inconsistency and the writer is just talking to hear himself talk. Go away asshole.
Did Trump just slip a knife into the back of Americans in need of a job?
