[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump talks out of both sides of his mouth on this topic. While he criticized the program at times, at other times he has made  comments during interviews or on social media in support of the H1B program.

- **January 11, 2019 (X Post)**: Trump reassured H-1B holders of upcoming changes to simplify their stays, including a "potential path to citizenship," emphasizing the need to "encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the U.S."

- **August 18, 2015 (X Post)**: As a candidate, Trump outlined his "H-1B reform plan" to make the program benefit the country over lobbyists, noting it would garner bipartisan support. This framed H-1B as a tool for national gain when properly reformed.

- **February 15, 2018 (X Post)**: In advocating merit-based immigration, Trump urged Congress to adopt such a system to ensure "people ready, willing and able to help all of those companies moving into the USA." H-1B is a core component of merit-based skilled worker visas.

- **March 4, 2016 (X Post)**: Trump shared a link to his official position paper on visas, which, while calling for H-1B reforms, affirmed the program's value for high-skilled immigration when not abused.

- **December 28, 2024 (Reported Interview, New York Post)**: Transitioning to his second term, Trump stated, "I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them... I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program." He sided with Elon Musk in a MAGA debate, defending H-1B for bringing in "critical people" who built companies like SpaceX and Tesla.

- **January 3, 2025 (Reported Interview, Fox News)**: Trump denied changing his mind, insisting he's "always been in favor" of H-1B, and highlighted its role in economic growth by allowing "quality people" to expand businesses.

- **January 22, 2025 (White House Remarks)**: Trump reaffirmed support, stating the U.S. needs "competent and great individuals" via H-1B for roles like tech experts, maitre d's, and wine specialists, as it "expands businesses and takes care of everybody."

This is the social compact breaking down. We need urgency to restore it:

1 - Mass deportations
2 - Stop the H-1B scam
3 - Dramatically reduce LEGAL Immigration
4 - End chain migration and the Visa Lottery
5 - Build 10 million homes for Americans
6 - Crush the College Cartel
