Scott Pelley deliberately rejected the pro-God, pro-American Southern values of his native Texas. On the other hand, there is a current of liberalism in our cities and university towns like Lubbock (where he was raised and went to school at TTU) have a significant outside influence from communist professors. That's what makes Pelley particularly pernicious and vile. He had the God-given benefit of being a Texan and brazenly repudiated all the good traits of this Great State.
Charge!
That is quite good!!!
There is and probably always will be, a cash economy that can’t be reached through E-Verify. In addition, solutions like E-Verify can easily be abandoned by future administrations who, like this one, determine it’s in their best interests to ignore it’s enforcement. A wall is forever. It will be a reality that future, amnesty-friendly administrations won’t be able to circumvent as easily as something like e-verify.
Great interview, did not want it to end.
But please, why the “Trump manhandles... etc?”
There’s a difference between a gotcha interviewer like a Van Jones who will never change his tone or color...
and Scott Pelley. Tough, direct and asking what everyone would ask. You can tell Pelley’s approach was simple: Give the guy enough rope, and he’ll etc.
What happened was really amazing. Trump answered...fast, direct and quickly. You got the sense at the end Pelley was a bit shaken, probably the first time that’s happened.
NOW COUNTER THIS WITH ANY OTHER CANDIDATE IN THE SAME SEAT. ASKING THEM THE SAME QUESTIONS, HOW WOULD THE ANSWER. THEY WOULD ANSWER WITHOUT HAVING HAD THE EXPERIENCE.
Best line in the whole interview when asked, “why do you have all these portraits of you on magazine covers on your wall?”
“It’s cheaper than wall paper!”
Yes, I also was impressed with how quick and direct his responses to Pelly were.
Carson's plan is a flat tax which will increase taxes for most of the people in this country. How he thinks he can be elected on a platform that promises that is beyond me.
I thought that Trump had released his tax policy weeks ago. Five rates: 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% for the highest earners? End inheritance taxes, capital gains taxes, and business taxes? What happened to that?
I've been a Cruz supporter from the beginning, and will be a Cruz supporter when he's inaugurated in 2017.
ROTFL.
You are like all the Leftists who criticize Rush.
Good fences make good neighbors. :-)
I believe that part of Trump’s tax plan is lowering the corporate income tax which is a must do.
Unbelievable.
You seem to have a hard time understanding the issue.
So I'll reiterate the question is real simple terms for you.
Do they get on the back of the quota line and wait their turn with no increase in quotas or do they get "expedited" back in??
The latter option BTW is called A-M-N-E-S-T-Y.
It is very clever and I’ll bet he loved it!
Lil' Scottie went to a third-rate school where he got his journ-0-lism degree and his lack of education was apparent to everyone. He was rude, condescending and constantly interrupted Mr. Trump. Suffering from a severe case of the little man complex and intimidated by the dominating presence of Donald Trump, Pelley shifted the focus to himself by posing a series of coldly calculated setup questions. As Donald would say, "he was a disaster".
A far better interviewer would have been our very own Jim Robinson or Sarah Palin. Both would have been fair and allowed Trump to finish answering. Mark my words. Later today, Donald Trump will rightly blast a chain of tweets concerning how unfair Smelley Pelley and SeeBS was.
Exactly! Glad you saw the graphic.
That’s how many people here see you Jim.
Thank you LUV W.
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.
Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.
Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women's plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.
I think the intent above is very clear: That the wrecking of the US job market by illegal and legal (HB-1 & related visas) must be ended. Trump needs to stress this more, much more.
Now, this is not to say that there are not "gaps" in this aspect of Trump's (Session's) plan. Some Freepers have pointed others out; a few of my "questions are": Remittances to "family" overseas from non-citizen workers - a form of trade imbalance - is not addressed. (Maybe it should be taxed!?)
I'd like to know to what level "prevailing wages" for H-1Bs are to be raised. Personally, I think it should be about 20% higher than the prevailing wage paid to U.S. citizens. (Maybe that should be "persons who have been US citizens for over 10 years"!) (I believe Japan adds a 25% surcharge.)
Also: What US employment or job participation rate levels would end the "pause" mentioned in the last section? I will grant that this last question may be moot: If employers face likely stiff fines for employing illegals, and if HB-1's & such must be paid a healthy premium, the problem will probably take care of itself. (I have NO problem with the market determining what number of foreign workers worth a significant "premium" is appropriate.)
Related: Some (many) argue we must have cheap labor to be competitive, globally. I don't buy that: We have a big trade deficit with Germany, for example. But maybe one of our more astute posters can go into that discussion in more detail. :-)
I would add that when my wife came to the US, not so many years ago, we had to prove exactly this, by submitting 3 years of tax records along with other financial information... My wife (and all spouses / potential spouses) was also subject to an FBI background check, although, as one person on a forum put it at the time "the most violent thing she'd ever done was clean a fish". :-)
Oops, that was supposed to be:
