He’s on all sides of this one so he can’t be wrong! In this case he’s being given good guidance as these visas are a good idea in many instances, of course the program can be tweaked (some call this bureaucracy ).

If we are talking anecdotal stories about home building…I have a few odd jobs that I don’t want to do on my house. I hired some good old American dudes. They have bullshitted, delayed, and caused nothing but hassles and they haven’t even started the work yet. Been like a month of this BS. Who knows what happens when they actually work. Not sure what this has to do with a couple of tech dudes (one of them foreign born, another brown) leading Trump around by the nose on this issue but pretty typical here on the GC. Sounds like you are probably unhappy with Don’s pivot on this matter in any case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he’s okay with immigrants taking the good paying jobs, just not the crappy ones that most Americans don’t want to do. Brilliant! Well there obviously is a difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. No one should be okay with illegal immigrants of any kind. I'm sure there are far less cases of illegal immigration among the immigrants with college educations demographic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horseman 2,350 Posted December 31, 2024 Hint: ALL contractors hire the cheapest labor they can. And immediately fire (or send back to the haul if union) anyone that's not pulling their weight. They also get the materials at the lowest possible price, even if that means buying from China instead of US. That's how you stay competitive and make money.

Lol you think if it didn’t happen at the Geek Club then it didn’t happen? But if you insist, here are a few. Keep in mind there are not many active posters here so this is probably about 20% of the board. Much of the rest of the thread was @EternalShinyAndChrome spazzing to Gutter that it was a fake controversy and you spazzing about Steve Bannon. Interestingly it appears @Strike has not made an appearance in this thread despite starting a prior thread against H1B visas.
