Trump to American Workers: Drop Dead by MARK KRIKORIAN March 4, 2016
Any time Donald Trump has to talk about any aspect of immigration other than his border wall – the one Mexico’s going to pay for, in case you hadn’t heard – he falls back on his donor-class, crony-corporatist instincts. In the October CNBC debate, he essentially embraced Marco Rubio’s support for increased “skilled” worker visas and praised Mark Zuckerberg, both positions diametrically opposed to his published immigration platform.
Then in the debate late last month, he embraced the Chuck Schumer/Marco Rubio position that there are Jobs Americans Won’t Do, specifically low-skilled jobs at his club in Palm Beach, and that foreigners have to be imported to do them. In Thursday’s debate, he reiterated both anti-American-worker positions, favoring the importation of more high-skilled and low-skilled foreign workers. “I’m changing,” Trump said, regarding his views on skilled visas. “I’m changing it and I’m softening the position because we have to have talented people in this country.” True enough, except that we already have twice as many technical degree holders as there are tech jobs.
What made Trump’s “I’m changing” comment even more shameless than usual for him is that just on Sunday he held a rally featuring former Disney employees who were replaced by the very foreign worker program he’s now praising.

National Review and Conservative Review need to combine. They parrot each other and I never even heard of CR, and now National Review has tanked in subscriptions after their LOSER highjack attempt of the TRUMP candidacy. Go figure.
Jackals, highjackers and thieves.
this is more debate at this point.
Trump has won for all effects and purposes.
No split states coming up.
just questioning because as much as I hated Cruz’ h1b, I don’t want anyone coming near it.
Where do you get your information— off the Cruzadian website? LOL!
I have noticed the list of who Trumpeteers will listen to is getting very short these days.
National Review goes Full Romney.
All politicians who voted raises for THEMSELVES need to be kicked out of office. And why the panic?
What have they ALL been hiding?
Are they AFRAID Trump will unearth all of their dirty skeletons when he becomes president?
Obviously, republicans would rather have Hillary win than to have the lid blown off of their secrets.
What a bunch of azzholes!
Fred Trump died in the late '90s. He left an estate of $250 Million, which was divided between Mrs. Fred Trump and their remaining live progeny.
Trump's father LOANED him ONE MILLION DOLLARS, when he went out on his own, which he then REPAID with interest!
You can't "see" anything at all and have less than NO idea what a "baby Trump" had as an infant!
Yes, he went to private HIGH SCHOOL. So have many others!
You are a stupid, uneducated, jealous little nobody of a nothing, who is choking on your own bile!
you big bully lol
Cruz has done 10 things to get me mad the past month.
actually, his win would assure a loss because then Trump would go third party, I think.
so I must support trump.
doesn’t hurt to play devil’s advocate.
or else the threads would be boring!!
No Americans want a job that lasts FIVE MONTHS and THAT is what he is being blamed for hiring H-1Bers for. Neither do many Americans speak several different languages, which the people he hires for Mar-A-Lago do!
Trump doesn’t; don’t believe the LIES!
Doubt Donald could make Mensa.
I've hated many of the stupid NR guys for decades! Kristol, for example, is a MORON and he's just lucky that his parents were born before him!
These supposed "conservatives" aren't and never really have been!
And I'll gladly kill any "messenger", who is a stinking LIAR!
No, many threads are interesting; just NOT some which are headed by articles written by jerks.
He literally says, “I’ve changing, I’m changing.”
I doubt that YOU could.
Trump would(and has) taken every side of every issue, and his Chumps would applaud every flip.

Donald J. Trump Position on Visas
“Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.”
C'mon, people, we aren't standard, credulous Leftists. I can hear the frantic terror, getting snatched away from the trough, even if you can't.
