  Ah yes. “Come work for us, also you never get to on holiday or visit your family ever again” is sure to be a big draw for foreign workers.

  Trump sure knows what’s good for the economy…

    Not only never go on holiday or see your family ever again, but crucially “you better be loyal/work harder than citizens lest we fire you and your visa expires.”

    he knows whats good for him personally and anything epstein related which he wants to get far away as possible from. IVANKA is also his concern.

    Less visa workers the better. Companies need to stop bringing in foreign workers to replace American labor. Fuck Trump on everything else, but the worker visa program is a disgrace

      Visa workers aren’t replacing American workers, they supplements them.

      Countless studies have shown that immigrant labour is a boon to the economy, and immigrants statistically create demand for more jobs than they take.

      Foreign workers are also a massive boon to tax income. Some other country spend 18 years paying for their income less childhood and education, and then they leave that country, and start paying taxes in America.

  That’s funny.

  Leaving the U.S. is the safest thing they can do for themselves.

  I'm a US citizen and my wife is not. My grandparents are not long for this world. If one of them pass, I will be going to the US alone because I am terrified my wife, who speaks little English, will end up in some ICE camp. It's horrifying and heartbreaking.

  Meanwhile both of the, Apple especially, kissing Trump’s ass and licking round the hole. Ballroom Atrocity, sponsored by Big Tech, tells me which companies to avoid.

  They should leave. Who knows what senseless cruelty the regime will inflict upon the innocent? It is best to leave before the shield of civility and foreign relations has completely shattered.

  Why would I trust the big corporations that has been actively helping the Trump Administration? Call me paranoid, but I think there’s going to be a big crackdown at silicon valley soon

    As if having a visa or even being a citizen would somehow guarantee they won’t kidnap and send you to El Salvador anyway.

      E.g. see people from Venezuela here legally who got put into illegal status anyway due to orange man policies.
