As employment picks up lower skilled jobs will remain unfilled. Just saying.

That doesn’t mean that Trump hasn’t wussed out on closing the Border and negotiations with China and North Korea, however.

I’ve stopped buying wetback picked fruit sand veggies. I use Metamucil™ and vitamins as a replacement. I consider it an act of patriotism.

As employment picks up lower skilled jobs will remain unfilled at the below market wages being offered.

Fixed it.

“Whoever Trump listening to ( maybe himself) is not thinking this through.”

He has some very insidious people around him that don’t have the best interests of the country in their hearts. That’s my quess.

The economy on fire for some, but a health economy is where most capable citizen workers have a full time job with decent pay, which is not yet the case. Many people have 2 jobs and not great pay.

The only beneficiaries of those visas at this time are the foreigners and thee employers.

My man Donald is the worst personnel director in history! He is 1 for 200. ( Bannon was the real deal ) There are no nationalist pro American worker types on his staff. Not one, well except for him.

His staff is all GOPe Free Traitors™ since Bannon left.

He has said all along that he wants more legal immigration.

When we see young people griping about this, maybe something will get done. But they’re not going to.

I’m just parroting the FR mantra that we have no problem with legals, just illegals we don’t want.

All I know is we need to get “Piggly Wigley” to drive out all the grocery stores in Minnisoda and Dearborn, MI.

They won’t protest so much with nothing to eat!

“Or freaking hire Americans instead?!!!”

There really are many jobs that “Americans” won’t do.

I have read and heard it too.

Just one example is picking strawberries.

My guess is that he said a lot of things to get elected that weren’t necessarily his personal views. And a lot of those promises concern matters that got you to vote for him over the other primary candidates. But once he got elected, he began removing those of his campaign people who are immigration restrictionists, like Steve Bannon, and replacing them with open borders guys like the Goldman Sachs coterie, Mattis and Kelly.

Based on his actions since he got elected, I don’t consider Trump an immigration hawk. He’s done a lot of tweeting, but not really done anything on immigration that has distinguished him from the rest of the GOP pack. As a conventional GOP candidate who puts out a lot of controversial tweets, he’s a perfectly acceptable re-election candidate for GOP voters in 2020. The problem is that his random tweets are not going down well with independents, while his inaction on immigration is turning off enough conservatives that he might not be able to re-assemble the coalition of voters that brought him into the White House in 2016.

We can only hope that the Democrats make slavery reparations and a wealth tax key planks at the DNC convention. Only then can we be assured of victory in 2020, as white liberals and plutocrats alike desert the Democratic party, depriving it of votes and campaign contributions.

You may be worried only about illegal entrants, but too many legals is also destructive.

I have seen that happening for 30 years and warned about it.

I swear if that was all we got and it was controlled the way it should, wed not have 30 million illegals. Problem is everyone thinks they have a God given right to live in the United States. These visa people don’t leave when the times up. It’s all a mess.

“DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will allow the importation of 30,000 extra foreign laborers for landscapers, resorts, and other businesses despite President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” promise that has helped raise blue-collar wages by four percent in 2018.”

I don’t agree with this, but I admit I don’t know a lot about it. Is this a work program where the business says they can’t find American workers and asks for foreign workers? From what I hear that is abused, but at least these are checked out before given a VISA so that is different than illegal immigration.
