[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not seeing this OP. Be cautious you are not in an echo chamber and missing a silent majority.

FWIW I would vote for anyone moderate.[/quote]
+1 I think most would.[/quote]
DP. No they wouldn’t. That’s how Trump keeps winning. [/quote]

Biden campaigned as a moderate but governed as a far-left progressive. In 2024, nobody trusted the Democrats any more when they claimed to be moderate as it was obviously a lie. [/quote]
How did he govern as a far left progressive? He barely did anything despite claiming he would do progressive things like universal pre-K etc.  He did very, very little at all. [/quote]

These people claiming that Biden was any kind of progressive are quite insane.  He ruled firmed for the center while giving republicans pretty much whatever that wanted. At best we didn’t move either left or right.[/quote]

Biden was off the chart progressive on the second most important issue to US voters in 2024

Biden and Democrats Priorities

And yet it is the democrats that expand immigration which allows companies to stomp on workers , and they wonder why they lose Elections . Focus on US workers first and never lose.

1.Biden refuses to mandate e-verify. there is no reason to require corporations to hire US workers. -https://www.governing.com/work/e-verify-creates-loophole-for-undocumented-workers-employers.html

2.Biden helps US companies replace US workers with cheap foreign labor by expanding H1B - https://www.axios.com/2022/01/12/h1b-visa-approval-rate-tech-biden-immigration

3.Biden expanded OPT to new job categories, this helps companies replace US workers with cheap foreign indentured servants - https://www.fragomen.com/insights/united-states-white-house-announces-expansion-of-stem-opt-program-and-other-initiatives-to-attract-stem-talent.html

F1 - Legal system requires F-1 students to remain with employer for approximately 7-12 years

4.Biden proposes to create brand new W-1 visa with unlimited Green Cards, because we mythically don't have enough workers in the US, we devalued a master with H1B, and now we will devalue PhDs with W-1 visas - https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2022/01/27/house-adds-game-changing-visas-for-immigrant-startups-and-phds/?sh=500faa1810be

5. Biden allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood the country.  Pelosi and Schumer were in cahoots on this plan .

DO. As usual, Maga talking points are not based on fact. I fact checked your claims by running them through AI and this was the response.

1. Biden refuses to mandate E-Verify, no reason to require corporations to hire US workers  
   - Evaluation: Partially true but misleading. Biden has not mandated E-Verify nationwide, but some states require it. The claim oversimplifies, as E-Verify’s loopholes (e.g., identity fraud) don’t inherently mean corporations are free to ignore US workers. Economic incentives, not policy, often drive hiring decisions.

2. Biden expands H1B to replace US workers with cheap foreign labor  
   - Evaluation: Misleading. Biden’s H-1B modernization rule (effective Jan 17, 2025) streamlines processes and increases oversight but doesn’t expand the visa cap (85,000 annually). Studies show H-1B workers complement, not replace, US workers, driving innovation and job creation.

3. Biden expanded OPT to new job categories, replacing US workers with cheap foreign labor  
   - Evaluation: Partially true. Biden expanded STEM OPT categories in 2022 to attract talent, but OPT is temporary (12–36 months) and not indentured servitude. No evidence supports widespread replacement of US workers; OPT fills skill gaps. The F-1 claim (7–12 years) is false—F-1 students aren’t tied to employers long-term.

4. Biden proposes W-1 visa with unlimited green cards to devalue PhDs  
   - Evaluation: Unsubstantiated. No credible evidence or policy proposal supports a “W-1 visa” with unlimited green cards. The Forbes article doesn’t mention this. Biden’s policies focus on H-1B modernization and STEM talent retention, not new visa categories.

5. Biden allowed millions of illegal aliens, with Pelosi and Schumer in cahoots  
   - Evaluation: Exaggerated and conspiratorial. Border crossings increased under Biden, but “millions” is inflated, and no evidence supports a coordinated “plan” with Pelosi and Schumer. Policy shifts (e.g., reversing Trump’s restrictions) aimed at humane immigration but faced enforcement challenges.

BTW, Trump himself hires foreigners on work visas—Trump said in an interview with The New York Post that he's "a believer in H-1B," referring to the visas granted to thousands of foreign workers who immigrate to the US to fill specialized jobs.

"I've always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them," Trump told The New York Post on Saturday.  "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 added.

In addition, Melania Trump was on an H1 B1 visa for years. She obtained an H-1B work visa on October 18, 1996. This H-1B visa category authorizes employment as a model in the United States. She was consistently issued H-1B visas, a total of five, between October 1996 and 2001.
