“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.

“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.

    After 2016 it was apparent that Trump represented the disgruntled domestic nationalist capital class who were in a war with the ruling internationalist capital class. Guess that's over now lol. Trump will side with the bigger money. He is literally an international capitalist after all with resorts in foreign countries. Of course he's not going to shut all the borders and create Neo-Hyperborea.

      the blue collar charade

      Just goes to show the american people have the memory of a goldfish because anyone who was born pre-1998 remembers Trump as the pompous billionaire guy that has beef with every tabloid celebrity. So for him to fool entire generations of boomers and gen-x he's working class is astonishing.

      A lot of them have realized they've been fooled and instead of admitting it, they've doubled down. It's how the Q Anon stuff has continued to spiral out of control and become a mainstream portion of the GOP platform.

      H1B immigrants don’t concern blue coñlar workers and the only Joe Maga people who even register this will be the ultra brain wormed and the techbros who can’t get jobs in IT

    anyone talking about how chuds will be mad doesn't get how this works - the vast majority will never hear about this because fox news won't mix it in with the rest of the slop, and the few conservatives who will hear about this and still know how to read will view this as a 4D chess move

        it's a nothingburger for codemonkeys too. The real problem is everyone and their grandma learned to code between 2010 and 2020 and the industry is no longer growing at a pace that can hire everybody.

                Where are you going with this? Am I supposed to draw some kind of conclusion about immigration because Indian consulting companies abuse their workers and the visa system?

                  It's not the consulting firms nor the immigrants that are a problem although the firms are problems themselves. It is the exploitation of cheaper foreign labor to undermine US labor.

                  It's also been very obvious in tech and other fields that h1b visas are being abused.

                  I'm not really making any broader point except that I think it is an issue for tech workers.

    This whole ordeal will end with immigrants put in slave labour death camps as compromise. The petite-bourgoisie get to see their racist fantasy played out and the capitalists get even cheaper labour

    It won't matter, Trump literally did this switcheroo back in 2016 when he bragged about hiring H-1B visa workers in an interview and then did a 180 the next interview when he got push back from chuds

    It would be so great if this completely split the Republicans and prevented them from getting their shit organized enough to do anything for Trump 2.

    GOP Trifecta AND mandate from the people and porky is STILL getting cold feet when it comes to putting Americans who are hungry for work to work.
