I like Trump, and think he's still by far the best bet but, yeah, this shit is very frustrating and disappointing. Trump is great on some stuff, but...ARRRRG.
Also, I like how the only non-immigrant aside from Trump is the one asking for a flood of immigration. "Promise to give us..." who is us? Who the fuck is us? No, seriously, who is this prick? And why are you lobbying for a bunch of foreigners or whatever?
America first means Americans first!
Who the fuck is this clown?
Bitch. Controversial opinion to some, but I want "our adversaries" to do well too! This isn't (exactly) a zero-sum game. I don't care if they do well. In fact I pray that Iran, Russia, China, and those guys do well. More power to them. It would solve a lot of issues if they did better. Go, go, go.
That said, America has to look after America. Those other places can have those "geniuses." America benefits from uplifting Americans. Keep those geniuses out, or at least don't go out of our way to shift policy to import them en masse, replacing the native population. This country should look after its people first; everyone else comes after that. If you can show you're good for the country and its people, sure, come on in. But let's not go out of our way to replace our people with foreigners. That's evil and retarded, no matter how you spin it.
I'm so tired of this bullshit. The American government's one, prime goal is to support and defend the American people. That's it. That's it!
This point is not made enough. It's essentially strip mining a workforce. Yet somehow, the left doesn't get mad about resource exploitation when it also hurts the West. Weird.
If all the "brilliant" people stay in their homeland, they can improve their homeland to the point where their countryman don't need to seek "refuge" elsewhere. Right? Importing a bunch of H1Bs from India is depriving India of GDP, business development, a stronger local economy, etc.
But they won't. Because one side wants the upsides of cheap labor and the competitive advantage while the other side wants that imbalance between nations because it drives inflows to destroy the West.
