How about a little perspective? Trump’s policies have added more new jobs to the economy every month than all the H2B visas combined.

Re: “How about a little perspective? Trump’s policies have added more new jobs to the economy every month than all the H2B visas combined.”

Trump's economic policies are a mixed bag.

Business regulations and environmental rules have been relaxed - Good

Pro-business President - Good

Pressure on Mexico and Canada - Good

Pressure on China - Neutral, since our trade deficit with China continues to set new records

Massive LEGAL immigration - 1.1 million last fiscal year - Destructive

Skilled work visas - H-1B and OPT now at 1.3 million, higher than Obama - Destructive

Massive Work Visas + Massive Legal Immigration - allow USA employers to postpone capital investment in productivity software and labor saving devices, and to postpone modifying their outdated business plans - Destructive

Trump's Budget Deficits - Trump had to borrow almost $800 billion in FY 2018, in spite of high employment, low interest rates, and no wars. Trump's FY 2019 budget is on track for a $1 trillion deficit! - Destructive
