    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 20 12:14:11 2025
    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
    on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist VP JD Vance to serve
    as Trump's Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's bipartisan,
    comprehensive, merit-based, immigration reform legislative legacy
    authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's
    House.GOV and Thune's Senate.GOV: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2025/01/22/donald-trump-zig-zags-on-h-1bs-as-ceos-promise-investments-and-jobs/>
    | "I like both sides of the argument," Trump responded, implicitly
    | recognizing his supporters' rising middle-class opposition to the H-
    | 1B and other white-collar migration programs. He continued:
    |
    || But I also like very competent people coming into our country,
    || even if that involves them training and helping other people that
    || may not have the qualifications they do, but I don't want to stop
    || [bringing in people] and I'm not just talking about engineers. I'm
    || talking about people at all levels.
    ||
    || We want competent people coming into our country and H-B1, I
    || know the program very well. I use the program [to bring in] Maitre
    || D's, wine experts -- even waiters, high-quality waiters. You've got
    || to get the best people.
    ||
    || Now then you go into people like Larry [Ellison, CEO of Oracle],
    || he needs engineers and Massa [Masayoshi Son, CEO of Softbank] needs
    || [engineers] and this gentleman [Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI] needs
    || engineers like nobody's ever needed engineers, right? So we have to
    || have the quality people coming in.
    ||
    || Now by doing that, we're expanding businesses and that takes
    || care of everybody [ordinary Americans]. So I'm sort of on both
    || sides of the argument, but what I really do feel is that we have to
    || let really competent people -- great people -- come into our
    || country, and we do that through the [H-1B] program.
    |
    | Notably, Trump did not call for an expansion of the huge and
    | unpopular H-1B program -- but nor did he suggest a reduction that
    | would boost the hiring of young American professionals.
    |
    | Trump's comments about waiters likely refer to his employment of H-
    | 2B service workers.

    What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
    head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
    DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and does
    Susie Wiles believe legacy American proles will cast ballots for Vance
    if he's not a tribune for their posterity and against their
    dispossession?

    biggest plots, like the "Fedsurrection," DEI, and the entire
    disinformation campaign. And let's not forget, even President Trump
    himself has praised Revolver for always being ahead of the curve,
    covering the stories others are too scared to touch." - <URL:https://revolver.news/2025/02/revolver-was-right-newsguard- exposed-microsoft-running-for-cover/>
