The H1B program is literally about bringing in scabs who will work for less. That’s it. Cheap labor. And this guy wants more of it.

        hyperbole. They have tons of talk about deportations and camps. Texas offered some land for one or more. My hyperbole was to add the death but its funny how they have this anti immigrant thing and yet also want to increase immigration. When it comes down to it I’m making fun of how inconsistant and crazy their policies are.

          It’s a very weird thing to add. There’s a hell of lot of difference between temporary holding camps and death camps.

            Well not if you understand the definition of hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis or effect. It’s a way to make a point more dramatic or memorable, even if it’s not literally true. After all the japenese camps during world war 2 were temporary holding camps. they don’t have a good reputation.

            Unless you’re familiar with history and know that the concentration/death camps started as temporary relocation camps but none of Germany neighbors wanted a sudden influx of millions of immigrants - hence their final solution plan. You think our neighbors are just going to let US dump 20 million people in their doorstep?

          That is a weird take. Republicans are against illegal immigration. The party isn’t anti-immigrant. Elon is an immigrant. They’re asking to increase a visa limit.

            I sometimes see the statement like yours but since asylum is a legal process and most of their stuff has been around it. I find this hard to believe.

              Most of them are not claiming asylum. That’s a new scam. Asylum cases are mostly rejected.

              You find it hard to believe Elon is an immigrant? He’s from South Africa. That’s not a state or territory

                Are most of them not claiming asylum or most of the claims being rejected? You sound like your talking out of both sides of your mouth. One is saying they are not claiming asylum and the other suggest they are but they don’t have standing and are being disingenuous abut it to scam the system.

                  Both. Most people over stay visas. That’s the largest group of illegal aliens.

                  The ones claiming asylum are mostly rejected. Alyssum isn’t I want an American job. It’s a set of criteria which most don’t meet.

            Legal immigration is the problem. My wife had to go to 2 major cities, while passing through others, to take required tests, 12-14 hour round trips. She was married to an American for 2-years, married to one now (me), which should be a rubber stamp on her 10-year visa. She has to constantly fight various government agencies. Years of expense and hassle just to continue her visa, not even for citizenship.

            Send requested documentation. Wait 4-6 months. Be told she didn’t include documentation that wasn’t asked for in the first place. Rinse and repeat for years.

            Wonder who slashed funding for immigration services? Perhaps we’ll never know.

            And if Republicans are truly anti illegal, tell me why they’re not cracking down on illegal employers. The problem would instantly disappear. Going to need an answer to that.

    Is this maga methodology? Importing cheap labor instead of putting Americans to work? Or is Loomer’s racist tirades against Indians more authentically maga?

    I wish William F Buckley were alive to see these things come to pass. I wonder what he’d say.
