TRUMP-SOTU: "I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally." REPORTER: "So, you’re changing your policy officially, then? You want more legal immigration?" TRUMP: "I need people coming in because we need people to run the factories and plants and companies that are moving back in. We need people."

Some of the globalists in the Trump administration have probably gotten the president’s ear again. We don’t need more people coming into this country.
The employment numbers show great improvement in two years, but we still have the near 20% of working age adults who are on one or more means tested anti-poverty programs.
We need serious welfare to work programs, and accurate data on how many US citizens have laid off to make way for cheaper H1-B workers, and how many Americans have been victims of age discrimination in the professions.
Trump needs to ignore the globalists and stick to the issues and promises that won the election for him.
Trump says the USA will never be a socialist country then he wants to increase legal immigration which will ensure the USA becomes socialist. Lunacy...
The “captains of Industry” need to come off the buck.
I didn't vote for Ted Kennedy did I?
“Trump wants a well-managed brain drain of a limited number of people who want to assimilate and contribute.
Fine by me.”
Fine by me as well. We should bring in the smartest people on the planet. But that’s what Trump said in this quote.
Maybe would could get some smart people to post on Free Republic that don't want to crush US wages when they are finally starting to edge back up. That would be fine by me.
We want good immigration (i.e pre-1965 European and Jewish!)
The same labor dept that ignore the underemployed college kids or kids who stopped looking because they cant are even looked at due the tax breaks with
H1 Visa foreign invaders stealing our jobs .
What ever happen to be loyal to your country and countrymen and hire American not cheap Indians .
Gee do the Japanese stab their countryman
in the back fir cheap foreign labor ?.
How is doing that? Trump has gone out of his way to make it more difficult for immigrants to become legal if they are collecting welfare benefits:

The Trump administration is proposing a massive overhaul of federal regulations that would dramatically change the way the U.S. decides which immigrants are deemed a "public charge."
That new definition – if it goes into effect – would impact the applications of hundreds of thousands of immigrants trying to become legal permanent residents, the first step toward eventually becoming a U.S. citizen.
He's also dramatically reduced the number of refugees we've taken in and dramatically increased the number of Christian refugees while lowering the number of Muslim ones.
Trump never promised to do away with legal immigration. Nor should he. It's the type of immigrant that matters.
You need to read between the lines, the people trying to get in are trying to get in illegal, if that is stopped it stops most immigration.
Trump never was against legal immigration but is being accused of it.
Few college grads have the guts, nerve, judgement, math skills, and determination to DO construction jobs like welding, field machining, carpentry, scaffolding, or even ditch-digging.
NONE in the liberal arts have the arithmetic ability to do machinist’s work.
I'd love to see some South African farmers come here and almost anyone escaping a communist nation. That make great citizens and conservatives.
The NR makes it appear President Trump has changed his position on Legal Immigration. He hasn’t.
H1 visas give Companies numerous tax breaks and flexibility to fire .
American hires mean zero tax breaks .
The construction business is not having trouble around here .
Oops. I left out the word “not” in my comment to you.
“Fine by me as well. We should bring in the smartest people on the planet. But that’s not what Trump said in this quote.”
ALL IMMIGRATION NEEDS TO STOP FOR AT LEAST 20 - 30 YEARS!!!!!!
Legal immigration sucks. It is still importing wage killing third world socialists. Nothing to like about it.
With all of the American men becoming as women and the women turning into butches where are the people to run the factories going to come from if not immigration?.
I was at a FL rally were he promised to put a stop to Americans losing there jobs to H1 visa foreigners .
He told a woman who lost her job at Disney to a foreign invader who she then had to train too at the rally he would stop this and help others losing there jobs .
Americans first rah rah .
Trump is now wining and dining the Koch Bros at the WH .
Kill H-1B, Impose a 7 year moratorium on all immigration. Stop all gov aid for existing immigrants. Maybe then they will take some of these jobs. Oh yeah and Deport the illegals. The only way to save the country at this point.
I don’t see much of this being done.
