Acosta is an arrogant a''hole. He got schooled. Come to Fannie Mae in herndon, go to third floor, and test the English knowledge. It is bad. They provide English improvement classes. But the guest worker is cheap and replaceable. Has NOTHING to do with skills shortage, a high school grad could do software testing. It is all about cheap and disposable labor. Completely twisting the original 1990 law.
How have we come to this , when leading journalists demonstrate little knowledge of what they are reporting about and pushing for changes to screw US citizens????

You are defending rhetoric that is purposefully appealing to the Alt-Right base.
That makes you a Nazi sympathizer. An before you go off on me, understand, silence is complicity and I will not remain silent.
This is nothing more that promoting the views and ideals of white surpremeicsts.

By almost a 3-to-1 margin, Pennsylvanians say they want legal immigration -- that has been averaging around one million a year -- reduced to a half-million or less. That is the preference of nearly all demographic groups, including Pennsylvania's Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Union Households, Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants and those of other religions and no religion, and residents of major cities, suburbs, and rural areas, according to a survey conducted by Pulse Opinion Research of 1,000 Pennsylvanians likely to vote in next year's midterm congressional elections.
The results suggest that support from Pennsylvanians across the political spectrum for cutting immigration likely had an impact on President Trump winning the state in 2016 and that support for less immigration would likely continue to be reflected at the polls in 2018.
Pennsylvanians would achieve the 50% reduction by ending "Chain Migration" and the "Visa Lottery":
- 64% of Pennsylvanians support ending “Chain Migration”--- eliminating the extended-family categories and limiting family-based immigration to spouses and minor children. Pennsylvanians also support by a 2-to-1 margin ending the “Visa Lottery” that randomly gives out lifetime work permits to foreign citizens.
- Even if it causes prices to rise, 66% of Pennsylvanians favor employers paying higher wages to attract American workers over the government continuing to automatically give out around a million lifetime work permits to new immigrants each year.
- 75% of Pennsylvanians say that rather than providing businesses with so many foreign workers each year, businesses should be "required" to try harder to recruit Americans facing high poverty and unemployment rates, including Black and Hispanic Americans, and younger Americans of all ethnicities without a college degree.

Vast swaths of Pennsylvania are a sh*thole.

There's no solid policy here (there doesn't need to be!). It's just a distraction from the fact that Trump can't deliver and lied his ass off when he pretended he could.
If you could share with us the racist and xenophobic aspects of what Miller said, that would be great. Waiting anxiously to be enlightened by you.
Well, referring to Acosta as "cosmopolitan" wasn't a random word choice. It's a Stalinist anti-semitic slur that's been picked up by the alt-right.
Seriously, have you ever heard anyone, in any other context, accuse someone of being "cosmopolitan"?
He kept dropping his white supremacist code words. He can't help it.

miller is jewish, acosta is the gentile!
But it was stupid on miller to use the cosmopolitan thing - in fact it was the opposite. Acosta showed utter narrow mindedness and a lack of education (JMU) when thinking that UK & Australia have the bulk of english speakers. In terms of english speakers at a business-english level, India has magnitudes higher than entire populations of UK + Australia.
Only a provincial person wouldn't know that.
This is one of those stupid talking points that conservatives make that makes you all look ridiculous. Jim Acosta knows perfectly well that people in many countries speak English. He was making a quick point. You look dumb going on and on as if he literally didn't know that. Just go back to the Hannity boards and tell it to your equally dumb brethren.

Focusing on English is so dumb. We have never done that in our history and there is no need to start now. Acosta was right to call him out for that. BTW "Cosmopolitan" was not the only alt-right dog whistle Miller was blowing. That performance was for the base.
