.. and let's not forget that Trump uses visa workers, and he said,

[quote]“No, you don’t have certain talents and people have to learn.” He added, “You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory where we’re going to make missiles.’”

we KNOW that. Republicans are evil.

But why have Democrats joined Republicans and in many situations are WORSE because of how they advocate for more and more overwhelming immigration on the backs of US workers.

Democrats used to be the party of labor.

Where are Democrats clamoring for more H1Bs? Post links. [/quote]

We've seen that one before.  Remember Biden when they asked what his policy was.  "Trust me I'm not Trump"  Then he spent more time undoing Trump's EO than anything else.  They tried to pass amnesty through reconciliation numerous times.  They repeatedly tried to give away green cards in the Chips Act.

Mum isn't good enough for Democrats anymore.

They have to make their policy clear, and by clear they need to actually do something.  They have levers they can pull, but right now the Republican states are the ones doing it.  Florida and Texas restricted H-1B in public schools.

Why haven't Democrat states that claim to be anti-H-1b done that?

Democratic states are suing the federal government to allow MORE h1bs for public universities

In what planet does a party that wants to help workers actively pushes to replace workers with cheap foreign labor???[/quote]
More hysterical MAGA screeching.
Trump has been in office for well over a year. If this is such a great priority why hasn’t he done anything about H1Bs? He seems to have plenty of time to hold rallies, play golf and start wars. [/quote]

We've seen token legislative initiatives from the Democrats, but what are they doing in the jurisdictions they control, eg the cities and states.  Do they have any actions they point to that show that they are actively reigning in their historically pro-immigration stance? So far only thing that has been on the new is Minneapolis.[/quote]
What has the GOP done? Absolutely nothing. Do you even know which party controls all 3 levers of government?[/quote]

Not enough but …

Trump tightened standards for skilled-worker visas, especially the H-1B visa program.

* Increased denial rates.
* Narrowed the definition of “specialty occupation.”
* Proposed rules favoring higher-paid applicants.
* In his second term, imposed a controversial $100,000 fee on many new H-1B petitions.

Also ,Trump backed legislation like the RAISE Act, which would have sharply reduced legal immigration by cutting family-sponsored green cards and ending the diversity visa lottery. While Congress did not pass it, the proposal made his goals clear.

His administration also increased scrutiny and processing times for green card applications, resulting in more requests for evidence, denials, and delays.

In addition …

One of the biggest changes was the “public charge” rule. It expanded the criteria for denying green cards or visas to applicants who were deemed likely to use public benefits such as Medicaid, SNAP, or housing assistance. This affected many family-based immigrants. Courts later blocked or overturned much of this policy.

Meanwhile Democrats that advocate for favoring US workers over h1bs -> NONE

Not a single democrat is helping

No US developer should ever vote Democrat

The next generation deserves more than broken promises and outsourced dreams.

They deserve a fair shot to work, build, and thrive in the nation they call home.

I'm leading S. 2821 – the "American Tech Workforce Act" to end the H-1B scam and put hardworking Americans first.
