Trump has come out in favor of H-1b visas - a 180 degree turn from his position in 2016 when he promised to end the program (but didn't). Now he's all for it.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled significant updates to the H-1B visa program, set to take effect on January 17, 2025. These changes aim to modernize the program and improve its efficiency for foreign workers and employers alike.
Key Highlights of the New H-1B Rules
One of the core changes involves a clearer definition of “speciality occupation.” Under the revised rule:
Revised Definition of “Specialty Occupation”: The definition of “speciality occupation” has been refined, focusing on the specific skills and knowledge required for the position. This clarification aims to ensure that only qualified candidates are eligible for the H-1B visa.

17th huh ?
this isnt reform
its expansion and entrenchment
OK. Is the DHS part of the Executive Branch? Yes.
Does DHS answer to the President or Congress?
President Trump will hit this button called the BRAKES.
Bureaucraps do not make law or policy changes without approval.
We’ve been had.
The “mass deportations” are only going to involve the most violent criminals. The regular border jumping criminals who have turned our country into a low trust, multicultural shithole will be allowed to stay.
The “no forever wars” is only going to mean ending the ones that Israel doesn’t care about.
The “fix our economy” will mean cutting taxes for the wealthiest oligarchs.
The “restore law and order” will mean the intelligence agencies partnering with big tech to launch a pre-crime program. It will be a mass surveillance program that will only target the bad guys for the first couple years. Then when Dems are in the executive, it will be used against us.
We have been had.
It won’t make any difference if Trump freezes H1B hires for a while.
Considering the damage this current administration is trying to do to this country, my immediate thought is that this is nota good thing.
GF yourself in the face if you don’t like it. Has anyone figured out why Trump let Musk get away with that? I love it when he trolls the liberals. Not sure what he gained by pissing off a huge chunk of his supporters.
3 Days before Trump takes office.
Just say No Thanks When Trump Takes Office.
If President Trump betrays me on immigration and H1Bs. I am done with Trump and the Repukelicans. Trump can be put in jail by the communists after Trump loses the House for all I care.
Will the new rules be followed/enforced?
If we have been had that means there will be no permanent Republican majority because Republican voters, feeling betrayed, will sit out future elections.
Republicans could stay in the majority if they just lived up to their promises.
Now now, now now.
Remember you are a redneck and really don’t matter. It’ll be ok
You know Trump takes office the 20th, this starts the 17th.
Bert, you are pure scum. You want dead Ukrainians and Russians for the crooked MIC and you want America to be flooded by the 3rd world. I doubt even your mother loves you.
When you are trying to get out of a hole, quit digging
Again Bert, you are pure scum. You want dead Ukrainians and Russians for the crooked MIC and you want America to be flooded by the 3rd world. I doubt even your mother loves you.
Is President high enough to fire someone?
Or to reverse a rule made under a previous regime.
My bet is, Trump will do a lot of surgery on DHS.
later
I agree. Democrats are the sheep. Real conservatives don’t blindly follow anyone.
I’m willing to stay home and let the whole show collapse under the weight of all RINO and sellout BS.
Trump has come out in favor of H-1b visas - a 180 degree turn from his position in 2016 when he promised to end the program (but didn't). Now he's all for it.
