It’s not xenphobia-—it’s PATRIOTISM.

...the jobs that foreign workers and their spouses fill are the jobs that a vast lot of Americans, particularly those from the white, working class communities that demand these xenophobic policies, are not educated enough to fill or skilled enough to perform.

Groupthink we much?

“The success of the Obama policy was clear and immediate: in 2016, 131,051 new H-4 visas were assigned”

I wonder how many have or will overstay their visa?

FTA: The success of the Obama policy was clear and immediate: in 2016, 131,051 new H-4 visas were assigned, a significant spike up from 80,015 only three years before it was enacted. Spouses, who oftentimes were highly educated skilled in their own right, were an added windfall.

I think that’s pretty evident.

You’ll note he’s an “academic.”

Because of our huge debt-supported higher-education debt bubble, academia is where non-productive, ideological leftist parasites can thrive.

Al-Jazeera and the American Left use the exact same talking points.

Cancel the H-1B program. It has contributed to America’s decline.

The question should be what is the cost of NOT being
xenophobic?

The answer is EUROPE!

I’ll take the costs of “xenophobia” over the cost of importing more Islam any day.

When they didn’t have a lot of H1B, companies ran training programs. I know, because that’s how I got my start many decades ago. Then they simply started recruiting foreign works, and stopped all training.

The Muslim Brotherhood losing influence is among the best things about the Trump administration.

They’re transparently pushing back by trying to elect more Muslims.

It’s politics, not xenophobia, Trump wants to run for reelection with the unemployment rate as low as possible.

There’s also the additional factor that Americans, seeing the upturn in the tech sector during the Obama administration, went to tech school, graduated, and now want and need tech jobs.

We no longer need to rely so much on foreigners, so if fewer want to come, it won’t be a problem domestically.

If we were truly xenophobes, this twerp’s tripe would never have seen the light of day, and he’d be swinging from a tree.
