Vivek Ramaswamy: "Merit-Based Immigration is one of the fixes to Economic Growth in this Country."
Breitbart ^ | July 29, 2023 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/29/2023 2:34:36 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Elon Musk Friday that he favors more immigration into skilled U.S. jobs and that former President Donald Trump made a “poor decision” by exiting the Pacific-region free trade treaty.

....snip....

About 20 minutes into the conversation, Ramaswamy also argued for more migration after Musk called for more migration:

I agree with that. I actually fully agree with that. And that’s one of the things where I think the Republican Party needs to define where we actually stand. There is an anti-legal immigration current [mood among voters] … I’m going to be on the debate stage in a month, and if anybody has any qualms with this, I think I’m gonna have a real problem with that because merit-based immigration is one of the fixes to economic growth in this country.

“Merit-based immigration” refers mostly to the inflow of foreign graduates into the well-paid white-collar careers needed by American graduates.

Many polls show that Americans — especially GOP voters — are increasingly outspoken against both legal immigration and illegal migration that is used to shift vast wealth from middle-class families to business leaders and coastal investors. The polls show the greatest opposition to migration into corporate jobs. Those much-denied populist attitudes fueled Trump’s win in the 2016 election against the globalist-backed Hillary Clinton, who prioritized Wall Street’s economic growth instead of voters’ pocketbook growth.

If you want to stop out of control housing, college tuition, energy, and commodity prices while making high paying jobs abundant, there is a simple and effective way to do it, have a 50 year moratorium on all immigration, no exceptions.

We can't take in any more people, the US is the third most populous nation after China and India.

Obviously, for some reason, our betters don’t think that legacy Americans can successfully build a country anymore. The thing to do is to import millions from the hellholesof the world that have struggled in vain and have them accomplish here what they could not for 2,000 years.

All part of the globalist satanic plan to de-Christianize America and import replacement peoples to steal our jobs and our children’s futures. Worst of all, they aren’t just stealing our children’s futures. They’re stealing our progeny’s souls because they will grow up in a non-Christian country taken over by non-Christian “immigrants” and the society will push them to false gods. Those who support immigration of non-Christians are committing a very grave sin!

Scientists, Engineers, hi-tech entrepreneur’s, etc create national wealth. Current legal immigration system is based on having a relative on green card sponsor you.

The Boston bomber brothers sponsored 23 relatives, all under-educated, under-skilled, mostly welfare dependent.

The 7 million migrants imported by Biden go straight to welfare funded by tax payers.

They’re both snakes.

But Trump at least goes rogue a bit.

RE: Here’s more of Vivek Ramaswampy showing he wants to import immigrants to take American natural born Citizen’s jobs

I don’t know about that. Trump was saying the same thing in 2016.

Exactly what type of labor able to be imported is in fundamentally short supply?

It’s a good way of lowering wages for Americans.

Lol. The fools come home to roost. Under Trump, H-1B visas (skilled workers)remained at the same level as Obama until Trump’s final year in office when he temporarily suspended the program due to COVID.

In fiscal year 2019, about 139,000 new H-1B petitions were approved (another 250,000 were extended); 77,000 L-1 visas were issued, as well as 66,000 H-2B visas for seasonal workers. There were about 200,000 new J-1 workers hired in 2018, according to the latest data available.

The revolution in Iran(’79) was good for the US as it brought their middle class here. We need more of the same but Vivek is having it both ways. He won’t talk deportation. Trump does and takes the arrows. Fine up the countries we give aid to. Make them take back every felon or troublemaker with 2 misdemeanors. Let them return on a case by case basis provided they serve their time in their ‘homeland’.

Doesn’t get brought up by the MSM or Vivek wannabes. Only Trump.
