Astonishing you can say this with a straight face.

ask Trump - both wives who are immigrants, including one whose family came on a chain migration, and whose mother was also an immigrant

ask Vance - wife's family are immigrants

ask Rubio - family were immigrants

ask Miller - family were refugees

Trump hired foreigners at cheaper wages. How does that benefit people born here?

It doesn't. Don't be addicted to cheap labor [/quote]

It's not always cheaper labor.

In many (I would argue the majority), Americans are willing to take these jobs but they are not even considered at any price due to the ethnic nepotism practiced by Indian hiring managers.[/quote]
I mean, Trump hired H2 white eastern european foreign workers over local black floridians.[/quote]

show us a SINGLE democrat advocating to restrict H2 visas?

a SINGLE democrat ???????[/quote]
Show me what Trump has done about H2s?  Here, I'll show you:

Trump increases visa:

first term:

second term:
https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-administration-will-add-roughly-65000-seasonal-guest-worker-visas-2026-2026-01-30/

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/trump-seasonal-visa-reversal-breaks-from-foreign-labor-crackdown

[quote]Employer groups made an intense push after the government signaled at the end of 2025 it would release only 35,000 additional H-2B visas for the coming year, cutting nearly half the number available over the past three years. Their efforts culminated in the Labor and Homeland Security departments this month authorizing more than 64,000 additional H-2B visas—nearly doubling the annual number available by statute.[/quote]

I'm sure they greased Trump's palm.

Trump picks eastern european foreign workers over Americans

Who's your saviour now?[/quote]

we know republicans are evil.

but Democrats used to be the party of labor but have abandoned US workers, YET STILL CLAIM THEY WANT TO HELP US WORKERS!!!!!

[b]show a single Democrat that advocates to reduce H2 visas?[/b]

meanwhile. the evil party is ...

Two complementary bills now pending would deliver what executive action cannot. In the House, Rep. Eli Crane's End H-1B Visa Abuse Act (H.R. 8443) pauses new H-1B issuance for three years, then permanently cuts the cap to 25,000 and imposes a real labor-market test on every petition. In the Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton's Visa Cap Enforcement Act (S. 2941) closes the loopholes that let hundreds of thousands of additional foreign workers slip past the 65,000 statutory cap each year. Together, they address both the size of the program and the loopholes that inflate it well beyond what Congress originally authorized.

Send a message to your U.S. Representative urging him/her to support and pass H.R. 8443, the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act, and to your U.S. Senators urging them to support and pass S. 2941, the Visa Cap Enforcement Act.[/quote]
Dems do want to help workers by..

[b]1. offering parental leave
2. helping with childcare costs
3. providing affordable health insurance
4. increasing minimum wage
5. investing in renewable energy to create jobs, not to mention reduce reliance on dirty fuel and foreign energy, which leads us to...
6. not starting a stupid foreign war that increases gas and food prices
7. not starting a stupid trade war that increases prices overall.[/b]

They are indeed stupid, though, for listening to tech execs, but what's truly evil is that Trump knows that it hurts American workers yet still imports these foreign workers over American workers and will do the bidding of corporations as long as they enrich him.

Stupid is stupid, but hypocrisy, greed and evil is just that.  Stupid people can learn; greedy evil people like Trump don't change their ways. He's had 60 years to do that. He's not changing now, especially now that he has dementia.[/quote]

Please list what Dems did specifically to address these points.  Minimum wage is state dependent.   Also they funded a completely stupid unnecessary war (Ukraine) without even trying to sell it to the masses as some sort of threat (nuclear weapons or funding terror groups, etc). Because of this war gas prices went up during Biden's administration.  Looks like you are going to have to remove 6-7  :lol:

1-3 are meaningless if there are no jobs and "clean energy" cannot possibly sustain job growth of the entire country when our private industry is focused on maximizing profits by reducing labor costs by all means possible.  Layoffs due to offshore/foreign visas became unpopular?  Let's call them "AI replacement" layoffs  :lol:  just move a whole bunch of jobs overseas.

Dems had done nothing about this, nada..  Healthcare is a complete runaway train, also because now it's become our primary employer in this country.  In vast majority of states Healthcare industry is the main job provider.  How do you make it affordable without also cutting down on admin costs (which means a LOT of people are going to lose their jobs)?

I am not a Republican, BTW, just fed up with "my party is good and yours is bad" useless debates that go nowhere.  IDK when we can finally start voting for people vs. political parties. [/quote]
