part of legal migration is providing a benefit to the USA and being able to support ones self without government support. It has been policy for a very very very long time.
This is waaaay different than illegal immigration.

They’re making a false equivalency and baiting MAGA to buy it. It is our press after


The USA became a great nation because of legal immigration.

Now there have always been problems, but immigrants have made us better.

I have no problem bringing in skilled workers to fill jobs that Americans aren't trained to fill.

My problem is with Rosaleta who cleans the LaQuinta INN when Shamika whose sitting at home living off my tax dollars could be doing the job and Rosaleta could be back in Guatemala.

I do.

Either train Americans or move to a country with cheaper labor.

So Arizona will be the next Texas with Indians taking over.



If you dropped every H1B visa holder in the US in Dallas it would be 8% of the population of Dallas.



That's hardly taking over Texas.


Probably more Muslims in Texas.

This is why we offshore whats inefficient.

Today I learned MAGA would rather import Indians than offshore manufacturing.

In case you haven't noticed, we're not importing Irish cops anymore.

Boy, the front row at that funeral should be captioned: "Almost everything that's wrong with America."

Two thoughts:

1) Al Gore is thinking, "Except for those damn hanging chads in Florida, I'd be sitting in the front row!"

2) Apparently, no envelopes today.

People aren't having children. You've ran out of people to train.


Like powerman's thread from before. He just wants to hire American computer science nerds. The problem is less than half the men in this country go to college and the most popular degrees are not computer science. Where are you going to hire all of these American's that don't exist?

Americans were so bad and inefficient at manufacturing automobiles we offshored it.

Only simpletons can't tell the difference between massive waves of illegal low skilled immigration and targeted legal immigrants with needed skillsets. Unfortunately, that's the MAGA minority that is the most vocal

Trump’s insistence that legal immigration is not only tolerable but an economic necessity continues to roil hardliners on the right, who are at odds with the business and tech interests that Trump has long aligned himself with.



The Emperor twists the knife:

Let's also consider Trump made the excuse for inviting 600,000 Chynese "students" to invade US Universities, claiming they are needed to help finance these indoctrination centers, er, I mean, "colleges".

Trump is NOT "America First"; He firmly a Globalist. NOT "MAGA". ( It's ok to just admit it, my Praetorians brothers.)

If our education system is so bad, why do so many wealthy foreigners come to our universities? Why do 600k Chinese even want to come here?
