bullshite. That’s selling our culture out for money. Automate more if you need to fill these roles.

We've had about 200K H1B's this year alone. Double what we should have.

Trump: We need skilled h1bs to train our guys and then go home, like for the Taiwanese company.

People who can't understand English: OMG! Trump says we need millions of Indians across all levels of the workforce!

People are literally attributing false statements to Trump and then melting over something he never said. What Trump said is extremely clear. If people can't understand what he said in very simple words, then they should abandon all political discussion henceforth.

As always, most people just want to complain. Manhood is virtually nonexistent in the modern conservative movement. It's just a party of bitches now.

They are cheaper. Over the years American labor has sought more lucrative roles because this H1B visa abuse has depressed wages.

It's a scam. Trump is wrong on this.

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



780,000 active H1B visas right now. Dallas's population is 1.3 million.

You are twisting what was said. Trump said we don’t know (we don’t, that’s a demonstrable fact) but we will learn by building the factories here and importing some skilled foreigners who have already been practicing it.

How about the reality that over 80-90% of H1Bs come from India? The rest come from China (which is a shite country for tech unless you believe their lies).

Is this like in old video games where you have to find the wise old man with a big beard and hat and he will enlighten you in the ways of magic?

Dang, that's all we had to do?

Do MAGA people have an issue with skilled legal immigration? I have not heard this from any.


Yes. Very much so.


Who other then Bannon, who loses his mind of H1B1 whos e numbers have been dramatically decreased.

Most voted to have illegals removed, not legal - then Bannon started his nonsense about H1B1. Who else?

Isn’t allowing the legal immigration of those who bring skills and knowledge that will enhance America part of what makes America great? To me that fits MAGA.

It’s the illegal immigration and the spending of our tax dollars on those who are a drain to our system that’s the problem.

Anyone who works in tech or a tech adjacent role knows this isn't what is happening at all

In reality they bring over poorly educated, poorly qualified and moronic low level workers to take entry and mid level jobs away from Americans

H1Bs come in, marry a former H1B who is now a US citizen, they become citizens. Their kids then marry H1Bs, and that's how Dallas ended up the way it is.

I'll just say it...the only immigration I support is White Europeans specifically to counter the, hmm, enthusiastic birth rates of Arabs & other diversity cultures...and because I actually consider them legit political refugees as long as they don't bring any Leftist voting tendencies over here. Europe & the UK are cooked unless they suddenly go medieval for about 2-3 years straight while actively trying to break any and all UN & Geneva "laws" during their attempt to actually prevent the formation of a European Caliphate in the next 10-20 years.

Unless we want to help them solve that little problem, which is something I could get behind, we may as well bring all troops home, deal with Mexico & Canada, and focus on ourselves.

Sorry to tell you, but your wish will never come true in your lifetime.

Just move to Idaho or Nebraska if you don't want to be around diversity.
