You can tell [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION] is coping hard when they have to make 10 posts in a row flailing about for some way to deny reality.

There's no indication that it's an old quote from Trump, and if a quote being 6 months old invalidates it, what's the point in reaching back 8 years for contradictory quotes from your savior?

Are you really that surprised to learn - again - that Trump has no principles and is easily bought?

Yes, because the liberal ideologues we've had for the past century are much more preferable.

 

[axiomata]

Trump isn't bought, he just flops to the last person he talked to. Sword is just mad its an immigrant and an Indian.

Now the Left wants to close the borders, haha.

LOL. People are really struggling to stay consistent during this battle.

On the other side, you have the people who have claimed "MAGA" the past few years and opposed DEI and wokeness are now screaming "racism" when anyone does not fully support the current H1B visa system.

Vivek now telling us we're stupid and inferior to Indians:

@amandalouise416

Vivek, your assertion that “native” Americans are overlooked for top tech positions due to cultural mediocrity is not only dismissive and oversimplified it’s an indirect acknowledgment of illegal practices under U.S. law. By framing this as a cultural issue, you inadvertently admit that companies are deliberately displacing American workers, which is explicitly prohibited under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Let’s address both the legality and the flaws in your argument:

1. Acknowledgment of Illegal Practices: The INA strictly prohibits employers from displacing qualified U.S. workers, including for subjective reasons like perceived cultural differences. If companies are bypassing Americans because they believe foreign-born engineers have a “better work ethic” or “superior cultural values,” they are in violation of federal law. By endorsing this narrative, you’re not only justifying these illegal actions but also providing companies with excuses to continue exploiting visa programs like H-1B and PERM.

2. It’s Not About Culture, It’s About Exploitation: The preference for foreign-born engineers is driven by cost and control, not cultural superiority. Employers often hire temporary visa holders because they can pay them less, manipulate their employment terms, and use their visa status as leverage to suppress wages and working conditions. This isn’t a meritocracy; it’s corporate exploitation that undermines both American and foreign workers. Suggesting this is about cultural flaws ignores the real systemic issue and helps perpetuate these harmful practices.

3. American Excellence Is Proven
The U.S. has long been the global leader in technology and innovation, thanks to its diverse and dynamic culture. Icons like Steve Jobs, Grace Hopper, Katherine Johnson, and countless others emerged from this very culture you criticize. The same “mediocrity” you decry is responsible for creating the Silicon Valley tech ecosystem that now avoids hiring the Americans that built them.

4. Your Dichotomy of Excellence vs. Normalcy Is Harmful: Framing success as requiring the abandonment of social experiences or leisure is not only incorrect but also damaging. Balance and well-being are critical components of sustainable achievement. Moreover, your anecdotes about immigrant families restricting TV and prioritizing STEM success propagate a narrow and stereotypical view of achievement, ignoring the variety of paths to success that American families foster.

5. Your Opinion Enables Exploitation: By blaming American culture, you’re giving companies a justification to continue displacing U.S. workers and violating the INA. This narrative helps them obscure their profit-driven motives behind a veneer of cultural critique. Instead of holding employers accountable for their exploitation of visa programs, you’re shifting the blame onto American families, students, and workers, those most harmed by these practices.

6. The Damage of Exploitative Programs: The widespread misuse of H-1B and PERM programs has had devastating effects on American workers. These programs were intended to fill labor gaps when no qualified U.S. workers are available, not to replace them. By validating these illegal practices with cultural arguments, you’re perpetuating the very harm these programs were meant to prevent.

7. Legality and Accountability Matter: You dismiss the importance of legislative action, but the INA exists precisely to ensure fair treatment of American workers. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to replace qualified U.S. citizens under the pretense of cultural deficiencies. Employers must be held accountable for hiring practices that violate the law, and American workers deserve protection not baseless criticism.

MTG tells US youth ‘put down the selfie light,’ pursue useful skills, amid debate on foreign workers
Greene says too many young people are trying to become the “next youtuber/content creator/social media influencer instead of pursuing a useful skill set/trade/education.”

MTG exposes herself as another traitor.

I'm not going to freak out about what Vivek and MTG are saying. They make good points, which basically address our current TikTok-Kardashian-Gaming culture. It is a problem, a big problem. The constant use of online devices have left most of the nation with ADD and short term memory loss.

And much of the nation does not value education. You would be fine with this argument if it is applied to the ghetto, but you take it personally in this case.

But when talking about H1B visas, making these arguments is tone deaf. It either dismisses or is ignorant of the reality of the situation. There are American kids who excel at STEM, and get degrees that should land them entry level jobs. But they are excluded, and the reason is the H1B program. It opened the door to a vast number of people to come to America, and then engage in cronyism, where they only hire their own. that is the problem at hand. To dismiss this as racism is what Musk and his sycophants are doing right now, and that does result in angry responses.

There is a lot of relevant facts in this video.

This gal has a pretty good channel. She is putting together a movie about the railroading of the Michigan guys who were set up in the ridiculous kidnapping case.

You are, of course, correct.

Our nation, our people, our culture, our very way of life is ill, on its death bed.

It will never be corrected with infinity Hindoos and Haitians and Hispanics underfoot and undermining every step we take.

I gave my whole and complete support to Ron Paul as a presidential candidate almost 20 years ago now, in no small part due to the fact that he was in favor of bringing the troops home, using them instead for securing our border and ending so-called "birthright citizenship".

Stop it all.

No more "legal" immigration.

No more invaders.

No more visas.

No more educational visas.

No more invader voting.

No more invader driver's papers.

No more.

Not another single one.

 

[Invisible Man]

Now the Left wants to close the borders, haha.

That's their natural position.

Profit is profit, according to libertarians.

You mean RINOs and pretend-libertarians. Profit is profit like gravity is gravity -- you can't be rid of it for trying. The globalist, omnipotent State is profiting at this very moment to the tune of billions of US dollars sent to Ukraine, Israel, and many other countries where wealth produced by hard-working Americans has no business being looted by a corrupt collusion of hostile foreigners and domestic turncoats.

So, yeah, profit is profit... that means that Burisma is the "market arbitrage" on the absolute refusal of the RINO/neoCON Establishment to actually pay attention in economics class instead of day-dreaming about how they're going to outfit the new yacht their daddy gave them for Christmas and how much that will impress their country-club buddies. The RINO jocks have an absolute stranglehold on the R-party and they've had it for at least the time that I've been alive... they are an incorrigible bunch of self-righteous, know-it-all meatheads who simply won't listen to reason because they're already on top of the world so obviously they're right about everything. Except Burisma. And Israel. And Iran. And ISIS. And on and on the list goes.

The neoCONs -- a bunch of trained Marxists in "conservative" camouflage -- have been spinning these brainstem jocks in circles for decades with just this one simple trick. Make the RINOs feel like they're important and in charge of everything, and they'll let you do whatever you want. As long as you stroke their ego... flattery is the oldest and cheapest method of seizing power. This is why Brian Williams described the video of Baghdad being bombed to oblivion as "beautiful". Tell the MIC their crimes are "beautiful" and they'll hand you the nuclear codes.

Profit IS profit. That is as true in North Korea as it is in a Colombian jungle coke plantation as it is on Wall Street. It is not the (true) libertarians who are pollyannas; it is the RINO/MIC/neoCON Establishment that has become a teetering gerontocracy, the ugliest form of wolves competing for the inheritance when today's Alpha finally keels over. Wisdom -- let alone understanding or even just basic knowledge -- fits nowhere into the picture.

We have to have a border in order to have a country. But the people who are currently running that narrative are mostly neoCON wolves. Don't fall for the sheepskin camo, it's a ruse...

Not to defend SS, but that's rich coming from you. This whole thread is just following the regime's desire to sow discord amongst the various populist factions that supported Trump.

Seriously. They want us to go from being against taxpayer-funded illegal invasions to quibbling about certain aspects of the H1B program. This isn't about the issue at all - it's merely a division tactic. But the time is soon coming where a majority of people no longer fall for this.

 

[unknown]

The aspect of this which is kinda cool, because of Twitter, they're seeing the outrage, getting feedback, in real time.

Why did they think that Trump supporters, or even the self destructive Left, would be ok with this.

Or do they simply not care?

 

[unknown]

Wonder if Musk got any good replies to his labeling Trump supporters as racist because they don't want to be replaced by H1Bs.

 

[unknown]

Weak ass back peddle.

Yah, pay em more as they replace us, lol.

Be honest, I haven't watched this yet, just posting based on the comments/feedback.

Apparently he dropped a lot of F bombs.

That's some Orwellian shit you're spouting.

What's the "non-regime" alternative? Pretend that everyone agrees?

If you think that illegal immigration was the only immigration issue, you haven't been paying attention.
