Rep. Schubert: Trump was right in 2016 about HB1 visas

X ^ | 11/11/2025 | Rep. Lukas Schubert

[Kazan]

"[H1-B visas] very very bad for workers... it's very bad for our workers and it's unfair for our workers and we should end it" -- Donald J. Trump in 2016>

Trump was right in 2016

[Kazan]

Trump needs to get new advisors ASAP and get back in touch with this base.

Trump has always understood the concept of loyalty. Selling out to the donor base and Republican establishment at the expense of those that supported him will be fatal mistake for his Presidency unless he reverses course.

[Tell It Right]

We should give Trump some head-fake room for negotiations with India that will hopefully be done soon. Trump saying we need some H1B workers from India is read by Modi as "Trump won't stop the reparations money coming into India".

Hopefully after the trade negotiations are done Trump will be all about cracking down on H1B's. In fact, he's already added the $100K price tag.

[alstewartfan]

If he brings in .6 million Commie Chinese students, Republicans will get MASSACRED next year.😡

[KC_Conspirator]

Yep. That interview with Ingraham sounded like McCain/Romney. Ridiculous. And whoever prepped him needs to be fired.

[Red Badger]

What’s an ‘HB1’?................

[jroehl]

I would say that 90% of job listings on the largest global tech job search websites are AI generated, fake and designed to waste your time. Another fun byproduct of the H-1B visa scam.

[Kazan]

H-1B...Are you anal retentive about typos?

[AAABEST]

2016 was the good ol’ days, when Trump was an rebel - before 2024 when he started listening to - and taking HUNDREDS of millions from - neocons and the donor class.

Now get ready to be invaded by India and SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND Chinese “students” (i.e. spies).

That interview was an abject disaster, only because he was telling the truth.

[cowboyusa]

He,’s WAY too nice.

[Sequoyah101]

I thought it was a dumpster fire.

[old-ager]

They are simply going back to “near shore” and offshore outsourcing.

These monies need to be tariffed as well.

[KC_Conspirator]

It was awful. Sounded like a tone deaf DC RINO. The base, supporters, online, podcasts, are wondering wth that was.

He has done pivots back on track before, so hopefully he can do it again.

[Sirius Lee]

HB1’?

It is a B-1 bomber, but built by Hughes.

[MichaelRDanger]

Is he doing away with the $100,000 fee?

[cowboyusa]

Pray that JD , amd Steven Miller get his ear, again.

[ridesthemiles]

SLOOOOOW LEARNERS

[Manuel OKelley]

if he does this they should try to use the 25th otherwise its going to be a disaster beyond comprehension

[central_va]

Yeah , Trump is running off the rails. He needs to reverse on h-1b.

[central_va]

It was Trump at his worse.

[FenwickBabbitt]

No, the fee is still there. Trump is cutting back on H1Bs drastically, but online complainers are still incensed that he’s allowing any, even the most talented, in.
