Using a VPN seems like you're just painting a big target on your back, you'd think all the VPN users would automatically be put together into a "suspicious activity" pile.

Nowadays you're constantly leaving tons of breadcrumbs indicating who you are online regardless of VPN use.

Not dooming, just showing urgency. If Trump cant turn things around and focus on affordability and securing elections we lose the country and our way of life. He's spent too much time placating neocons who are no longer the future of the republican party. And listening to his tech bro oligarchies who want to replace us all with pajeets.

So, you want MTG to be the future of the Republican party? Because that is what you initially took offense to retard.
 
Nick Fuentes is a faggot and it honestly surprises me how so many retards support him when he openly advocates for people and positions that would further shit on the country, like endorsing Kamala, all because they seethe over fucking kikes in a country thousands of miles away. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face

No, I obviously am a big fan of Vance, and I like Tulsi a lot. but Maga was slowly transferring the Republican party into a blue collar party that had mass appeal to voters. MTG is a big part of that retard.

If we want true Regime change and get bills passed that reflect that shift we need more lawmakers like MTG not more country club republicans that alienate and repulse most voters.

Have fun with Hakeem Jefferies and MTG then. Remember, you get what you fucking deserve.

Is this literally all this is about? Some vague trump-speaking-extemporaneously in his train of thought style of talking?

In trump language this basically amounts to "it can sometimes be beneficial to let foreign workers in for niche jobs"

No hint at going back on the 100k fee, no mention of numbers or policy change or anything whatsoever. The way the internet has been talking it sounded like he said "we are going to open up a fuck load more positions and only from india".

If trump is being honest when he says this is about "niche skills" i don't see the problem because that implies
A: it's hardly any people
B: Most of them are going to be white/east asian

Vaguely following the interview he says "I agree (that we should reduce H1-B visas) but we also have to bring in talent (some people with niche skills for niche roles from any country)"
and
"You can't take people off the unemployment line and have them make missiles"
Do we suddenly disagree with this? Do we genuinely think these people can make missiles?
unemp.webp

We know damn well none of the shit hordes pouring in qualify as "skilled", they're used to cut costs which the 100k fee cancels out and as far as we know that's still a go. Skilled labor that is worth 100k to a company is going to be mostly white people from europe and maybe some japs, and aren't going to be numerous enough to really make a noticeable difference.

We've had "people with certain skills" being imported since the 50s, I had an H1b from poland on the street i grew up in. Everybody knew a few foreign people at their school, **a few** foreign people is nice to have around even.

The problem has always been the unbearable numbers and the numbers were never related to skills. Assuming trump is being honest when he says it's only about niche skills i don't see the big deal here especially in such a vague discussion interview. Trump says all kinds of shit during these things.

TLDR: He should have worded this better but i don't think he's saying what people fear he's saying.

MTG is against a core tennent which is deporting illegals, she's not a major part of anything with that position
 
No one is using H1B people to build missiles, that is O-1. The issue is he doesn't know the difference. H1B is the modern slave trade. He didn't misspeak, he simply was lied to by his advisors to muddy the waters to make people think H1B is somehow skilled. It is not.

You absolutely can. Much as people here hate FDR for some reason, the PWA was a fantastic program. It got people fucking working, and trained them in skills necessary for jobs when the depression was over. The problem is the Federal Government doesn't want to spend money when we're on the verge of collapse. Infinity Debt schemes come crashing down, and the Jeets are just a cope the corporatists are using to line their own pockets so they can golden parachute their way through the coming storm. It's why none of these Indians can create anything new, they just maintain. Because that's all they need to do.

You’re right, we have been importing people with certain skills since the 50s, so why do we STILL need to do it? Why don’t we have enough yet? You’re telling me we don’t have enough to make missiles, we need ‘just a few more’? But isn’t that always the excuse? Just a little more guys, we HAVE to or else the country will fall apart!

Maybe people are done with tolerating ‘just a little more’.

That's kind of the point though, he didn't say "we need more h1bs" he just said "we need people with certain skills". It is weird that he would say that right after being asked about h1bs (to which he did say "i agree we need to reduce them") but trump does have that ADD way of talking. He will frequently bring up something only slightly related in a way that makes it sound like he's trying to rebuke something he isn't. The "very fine people" incident for example.

Things change and needs change, most of the people we imported then are retired or dead and statistically were less likely to have had kids. It's not like a container that just gets more and more full, you don't say "i've been buying clothes for 40 years why do i need to buy more?"

If we have a niche role that needs filling and some guy from germany can fill it and wants to leave his country i'm great with that, that is indeed foreign labor.

It's just numbers. Are we talking about 50,000 educated people from christian nations with niche skills or 5,000,000 illiterates who are going to be driving uber and trucks? The problem is that saying "foreign labor" theoretically applies to both of those things.
