MAGA world erupted after Christmas in a not-very-useful debate over H-1B visas — a side issue that while important, especially to the tech industry, can’t possibly be Team Trump’s top immigration priority.
Before anything else, the new president must get the border fully under control and start undoing the worst damage from the Biden disaster.
That is in fact the plan: Border Czar-designate Tom Homan is already getting set to ID, detain and deport the worst criminals, including the Tren de Aragua crews.
The new Homeland Security team under Kristi Noem will oversee a border clampdown; Trump diplomacy is already focused on muscling Mexico, Panama and other nations into helping stop the endless waves rather than encouraging them.
The country must also address the millions of other illegal migrants waved in these last four years, sending many home.
Politically, neither the American people nor Congress will accept any special immigration-law favors for Big Tech, business generally and any other particular faction until the big picture is fully under control.
And any rushed effort to pass some “fix everything” legislation will either produce an “omnibus” bill as grotesque as the one Trump kiboshed before Christmas, or see Congress mired in a deadlock that only benefits those rooting for the Trump presidency to fail.
The H-1B sideshow debate started with cranks complaining about a Trump appointee who won’t even oversee anything connected to immigration policy; Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswarmy then shot back with a mix of fair points and obnoxious idiocy.

Back in 2010 during the housing crisis Obama limited H-B visas with his pen and consulting rates in my specialty of SAP went up almost 50% overnight. Trump can do this easily. All they have to do is limit the number coming in and - voilà it’s done. If they don’t do it they’re not serious and they are playing us.
That’s what I’ve been saying.
The psyop to distract us with H1-B visas is working.
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in, ride ‘em in, cut ‘em out
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in rawhide
That or a loud policy dispute that spilled into the public. Either way it’s a vs distraction
Halt immigration until the border is secure and there is an official H1B visa policy.
When do we get to talk about it? When thousands of foreign workers are here with their extended families and more on the way?
Let's make this transparent from the start.
yeah, ‘we can walk and chew gum’ simultaneously. shut it down Trump. use tariffs to create a new program.
Bullcrap. Do it all.. NOW. They Coolie Caucus is utterly freaked out about their precious America hating H1B program.
Later = Never.
But you go ahead and chase the squirrel every time they say "Look! Squirrel!"
“MAGA world erupted after Christmas in a not-very-useful debate over H-1B visas”
It’s only “not-very-useful” to the un-American pricks that want even MORE of them. And by the way, the H1B fans started this and told us to go F ourselves.
The government has one last chance. People truly trusted the GOP to end the border invasion and the dangers to people in all the cities and towns of the US.
If the GOP doesn’t come through then the true solution for true justice will prevail as the government looks on and complains about how the people should stop.
Agree.
Besides the darn things are high in cholesterol anyway.
“neither the American people nor Congress will accept any special immigration-law favors for Big Tech, business generally and any other particular faction until the big picture is fully under control.”
NO... it is not “until”. It is no more. MAGA means we stop flooding in Indians who hate Christianity, Free Speech, the Second Amendment, and Free Elections.
They need to get it through their stupid heads. This MAGA game is not “send the Mexicans and Venezuelans home and -then- the coolie caucus can double down on H1B.
I take it you can't walk and chew gun at the same time.
I’m not shutting up. I’m thinking about making a post every day about the H1B disaster. I’ll be like that idiot Speedy in Texas with his ORYX website. Hell, I’ll even comment to myself to drive up my reply numbers.
I take it you have no idea how big an issue deporting millions of illegal invaders is.
The Democrats' strategy is to distract us the next two years. Then they'll take over Congress after the midterms in 2026.
