Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this. Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts. It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter. Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so. Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa. Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent. JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.
Vice President JD Vance breaks down the data: "If you are working as an H-1B visa in the United States of America, you’re earning $20,000 less than an American citizen hired in the same position. If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you’re making $48,000 less than an American citizen in a similar position. So I’m sure that everybody here understands the game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, you lay off American workers and, if you’re a corporation, you make a ton of money by under cutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn’t be in the United States of America to begin with."

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn. And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

These 3.5 seconds did more to fortify American Identity than any establishment politician or political party in the last generation. 100 years of neoliberal rule was vaporized in 3.5 seconds. Rejoice, we are still America. 🇺🇸

🚨Today, we filed the final four lawsuits against three states and DC who seek to undermine federal law by placing illegal aliens over citizens in clear defiance of Congress’s commands. The Department has now challenged every state with laws that provide in-state tuition to illegal aliens, bringing the number of lawsuits to 25. The map below shows the remaining states who are facing lawsuits for providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens. “No more placing illegal aliens over American citizens on this Department of Justice’s watch,” said @ASGWoodward. “We have now sued every state across our Nation that has a state law or regulation granting illegal aliens in-state tuition. We look forward to favorable court rulings and will continue to deliver on President Trump’s promise: illegal aliens will not receive benefits denied to American citizens.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/departmen…

🚨 MAJOR SCOTUS VICTORY on Mail-in-Ballots Rules...Lifts Ban on 23 States The Supreme Court has just overruled a block placed by an Obama Judge preventing Trump's Executive Order to implement safeguards for Mail-in-Ballots. The ruling now means states must: -Turn over a list of every voter getting a ballot -Put unique serialized barcodes on both the outgoing and return envelopes If a state refuses, USPS will not deliver those ballots. This is a major election integrity win.

The GOP does not fully understand the simmering hatred their base has for the mass immigration that has trashed this country. You can be the perfect candidate in every way and a single statement about amnesty will cost you everything. We demand deportations. All of them.

We’re not taking their bullshit anymore. This is beautiful. .@SecKennedy bitchslaps @DanaBashCNN into orbit.🤣 Bash: “I'm not debating this with you.” Kennedy: “Of course you won't. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say, 'Trust the experts!' That's what you did during Covid. Now we know that Anthony Fauci, who was the 'expert,' was lying about everything... now, you're rolling out the 'experts' again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of.” Over and out.

It must be done
Every single individual who has entered the West illegally should be deported. Every person who has entered legally and who is loyal to an ideology that is antithetical to the West’s foundational values should also be deported. This is a battle for the soul of humanity. Wake up. Grow a pair.

The benefit of these hearings is that it stirs up all of the memories of how evil the Left was during Covid. Never forget how your school boards, teachers, politicians, and evil Leftist neighbors tried to destroy you and your freedoms, Without a shred of regret.

President Trump reaffirmed what we knew was married to COVID. China wanted to take full advantage of a weakened United States under a Joe Biden presidency. They helped lean into all of the dishonest practices the democrats enabled through COVID that severely impacted our elections. Those who withheld this information from the President should be in jail. Those who knew the Chinese manipulation scheme was more than a pandemic, should feel very good tonight. So many poor people died, who lost opportunties, jobs, their prom, scholarships, couldn’t be next to a loved one in a hospital dying or giving birth— the economy destroyed, businesses shuttered, cities overrun with criminals, shops boarded up, people lost their homes. Some cities and industries never fully recovered. But everyone, every single American is affected by the states that were robbed from a fair election— from local elections up to President. The sheer impact this had on citizens’ faith in election procedure, the democratic process and the core of our Republic will take a generation to fix. I hope people properly consider that betrayal perpetrated by the Government. America, you should never forget what they did to you.

As efforts unfold to enact key features of the SAVE America Act using budget reconciliation, you may hear arguments from the Parliamentarian Infallibility Club™️, insisting on slavish devotion to the Senate parliamentarian. Don’t fall for any of it. Let’s freaking go!

People can laugh but don’t underestimate these people. In only a few years, these weirdos seized control of the city where this photo was taken (Denver). They mostly don’t have kids. Socialism and communism are their child and they’ll die for it like we’d die for our actual kids. If you want to beat them longterm, the silent majority must see them as threats to our kids lives, because they are. Only then will we have the fortitude to dismantle them. And you’re going to have to drop the silent part of "silent majority"…. Because to beat communists, you must overrun them, you must be louder, you must be stronger, you must be more vicious like a lion protecting their young and you must be just as willing to sacrifice.
Look at the crowd at today's DSA event. They tried to delete this. Too late.

Through whatever means—nuking the Zombie Filibuster, enforcing the Talking Filibuster, a creative use of budget reconciliation, or otherwise—the Senate MUST pass the SAVE AMERICA Act. We’ve crossed the point of no return. Failure is not an option.
