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.

He is totally wrong on this. There are plenty of skilled US workers and plenty willing to get training if they don’t have to compete with a flood of imports.
“President Donald Trump made a ‘poor decision’ by exiting the Pacific-region free trade treaty”
Trade treaties should be based on financial balance.
Motor vehicle trade should be based on part and vehicle trades. No money should flow in or out of any country in connection with motor vehicle production.
Toyota should take its US profits in the form of vehicles and vehicle parts. VW should take its China profits in the form of vehicles and vehicle parts.
Most Indians are very racist.
“What the hell gives this guy the idea that he could win the presidency?”
He’s in favor of US military trannies, TPP, mass H1B immigration, and doesn’t think 2020 was stolen.
Maybe hes been talking to GOP donors ?
Gunga, go back to India.
The only groups that benefit from legal immigration are govt, the “management class” and Democrat pols. American workers and taxpayers get absolutely no benefit, in fact they are harmed.
All of whom are now Democrats. STOP.ALL.IMMIGRATION.NOW.
SOOOOOOOOOO—WHO IS SETTING THE STANDARDS HE MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT???
Enroll in an Engineering college and become useful.
QUICK-—SHOW US A PICTURE OF A SKILLED VENEUZUELAN 747 PILOT.
Can you blame Iranians voting democrat after reading posts like yours?
Gunga, Can you blame me for saying that you should GTH after reading your posts?
Because not enough Americans enroll in engineering schools.
China and India both graduate more engineers than United States.
I’m all for being replaced as long as it’s done LEGALLY.
“I want people to come into our country, in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.” -President Trump, State of the Union 2019.
If a US citizens has an accent they are 80-90% likely to be a Democrat.
I can understand you are frustrated because you can not finish engineering school. It is just too hard for you.
Because of people like you who are driving away voters.
I thought immigration policy in the US was merit based on the first place. You meet certain qualifications to come in, like following the rules, understanding the responsibilities, and pledging to support the country as a whole.
