At some point you’ll have to accept Trump isn’t actually stopping or slowing third world immigration. H1Bs are increasing under Trump and this tweet is the exact same argument the left has made for years. This is 100% a preamble to expanding H2A visas at best.
I always got the impression Trump is personally closer to the chamber of commerce repubs in wanting cheap labor but he knows Americans are against that because it's not fair, so hes trying to strike a balance between finally enforcing immigration law to gain our trust, and then striking a deal for a guest worker program. He means well enough, like a boomer who thinks Reagan's amnesty would have been perfectly fine if the border had been enforced from that point on.
He’s for big business because that makes line go up. Mass immigration has been the real killer of the middle class, a mechanical engineer makes 57% starting salary of the exact same position in 1990 adjusted for inflation (the year before H1Bs started). It’s completely devalued skilled labor and unskilled labor alike.
Not even slowing?? Have you seen the fucking border bro?
And? H1Bs he signed for 2026 alone are going to outpace projected deportees this year. Reducing illegal immigration while ramping up the jeet invasion isn’t a victory.
The jeets are less likely to criticize Israel
You don't get to leave out the millions who pour through the border each year when a deep state stooge is in the white house
You don’t get to pretend that matters when the supposed mass deportation candidate is importing more turds than removing.
H1Bs decreased during his last administration. Do you have a good basis for claiming they will increase next year? Please note that authorizing a certain number of visas does not mean they will be filled. I agree it's bad either way but I think it's highly unlikely current deportations will be lower than annual H1Bs.
Yes, I posted it here a month ago, he’s raised H1Bs by 126k for 2026. The current deportations are at 40k and are not projected to reach 100k this year.
"Why haven't you checkmated him yet? It's been five moves!"
Patience.
