These people don’t want to come here


I mean I don’t blame them. They could move here and have a good life but if I moved there I could never become a samurai as a gaijin

Compare the industries he's referencing to India's industrial output and show me the overlap.

While he may be right in some respects wrt highly skilled labor, he needs to marry this up with cleaning up the process. They need to eliminate the ability for offshore immigration shops from swamping the employee hiring system.

Trump is not discussing service/tech jobs. He's discussing things like high end manufacturing, shipbuilding, and microchip manufacturing.


Everyone relax guys. SFP was in the room with Trump so he can tell us what Trump really meant

JD needs to get to him fast and set him straight on what to say.


There is a political ultimatum that will bubble to the top that JD will have to eventually address. The issue is currently verboten but will eventually get big enough that even the MSM will have to address it.

Or I pay attention and can read English

quote:

Bessent was responding to Trump’s latest comments on the H-1B visa programme, where the President said that America still needs to bring in talent from around the world because it lacks certain specialised skills.

Bessent added that for decades, the US had outsourced high-precision manufacturing jobs. “We can’t just snap our fingers and expect people to know how to build ships or make semiconductors overnight.“ He added, “We want to bring those industries back home.”

Calling the plan a “home run,” Bessent said that overseas experts could come to the US, teach American workers, and then return. “We haven’t built ships or semiconductors here for years, that’s why we need their help for now,” he added.


So show me the Indian industrial output in those areas.

Trump is trolling our entire education system, the teacher's unions, academia...


Public education in the United States is, and has been, a literal joke for decades.

#Woke replaced merit with identity. And it started in our public schools and institutions of higher learning.

Even this is a band-aid if we don't correct all of that.

Why would we continue to focus H1Bs on India, given this?

Personally in oil & gas, I’ve seen quite a bit of successful talent come from folks originally from places like South/Central America and Nigeria. Some who fled Venezuela under Chavez and greatly appreciate the United States and the ability to put their technical skills to use here and succeed. They also seem to understand much better than the average American the dangers of open borders with fentanyl and shite coming across into our communities.

It's not a non-answer.

I'll simplify it for you

Why are we importing so many H1Bs from India when they cannot help in the areas being discussed?

quote:

That's the issue. He didn't say India because he's being dishonest and avoiding discussing the issue. That's, you know, the whole point I'm making.

Let me know when South Koreans H1Bs outnumber Indian H1Bs

Sane legal immigration policy should be, for any country, "we only want the best and brightest that are needed."

4D chess.

Intentionally lose the midterms and predictably Temu Obama will overreach with impeachment hearings and the people will be ready for JD.
