Migration makes Americans poorer & less productive.
But it expands our consumer economy & feeds more taxes to gov't - so our decadent leadership insists that it helps us compete against China.
Tucker Carlson urges Trump to narrow the H-1B pipeline that T-Mobile uses to put cheap foreign grads into the jobs needed by US grads.
So T-Mobile reacts, cuts Fox ads.
Then woke-washes the cuts as noble concern for blacks.

Watch GOP Sen. Mike Lee publicly urge Indian contract-workers to lobby US Senators for a bill offering fast-track citizenship to Indian grads if they take jobs (at low wages) from US grads. No GOP Sen. has rebuked him & no anti-GOP journos 'pounce.' Weird.
Trump's USCIS director Ken Cuccinelli says Paul Ryan ran a "Chamber of Commerce Congress," and submarined Rep. Bob Goodlatte's immigration reform bill in 2018 because he and other leaders wanted more illegal immigration.
More data re. 'dreamers' -- 32 years of Arizona data shows they commit more than twice as many crimes as similar-age Americans. IOW, not 'The best of our nation' as Pelosi claims. PS: Most of their victims are also Hispanic.
DHS says almost 400 migrants brought other people's kids or claimed to be teens when trying to get into US as 'family units' in 2018. Given the huge gap between life in US & C-Am, why do many lefties refuse to admit that migrants manipulate them & US laws?
The Tennesee meatpacker raided by ICE paid roughly $25 million in cash to illegal migrants since 2008, says federal affidavit. Presumably, no taxes were paid from that cash payroll. So a two-fer: Lower payrolls for Americans, fewer taxes for Uncle Sam.
DHS on autopilot, says it will speed the award of 85,000 H-1B graduate visa-workers to US employers by barring corporate line-jumping via the 'premium processing' service.
Meanwhile, myriad US grads will lose their jobs in April b/c of coronavirus.
@S386
Another poll showing the obvious: The # of Americans who want less legal immigration is x3 than # who want more migration.
Whites, blacks & Hispanics share similar support for lower migration, leaving liberals & high-income as the strongest supporters.
Trump asks business-first deputies - Jared Kushner, Mike Pence, Kirstjen Nielsen - to run border-wall talks during the weekend. There is little evidence this swamp group even wants to fight for better security & the bigger goal of less migration/more wages
Mass immigration ensures mass discrimination against American employees, both blue-collar and white-collar, says panel. But D.C. people don't care because they want mass migration.
What a glorious story: Trump's "Hire American" policy triggers a labor shortage in Calif, and farmers admit that employees' wages and productivity spike upwards. Who says elections don't matter?
Trump ditches Fortune 500 & Tim Cook, to seek college-grad votes by offering a huge rewrite of the

Big deal, even if it is a last-minute grasp for votes - b/c it means POTUS sees more votes in office parks than in Wall St $$
GOP Sen. Milke Lee promising to shove his green-card

giveaway to Indian graduates thru Senate by Friday. His investor donors (Bezos etc) bully Senators into passivity & push estb. media journos to ignore the outsourcing threat to their peers & kids.
The new Democratic Party: Amnesty 'is the civil rights issue of our time.' Billionaires and US Chamber applaud. Let's check polls of blue-collars and African-Americans in a few weeks.
Govt data shows 1 million Indian contract-workers get white-collar jobs in tech, banking, health etc.
The Indian hiring ignores many EEOC laws & is expanding amid gov't & media silence.

Seven ways in which VP Pence's aide Marc Short -- who is now back as Pence's chief of staff -- stalled Pres. Trump's core promise of immigration reforms and border wall. It is a safe bet that his former employers - the Koch network - looks upon him kindly
Pres. Trump suggests he may drop "Hire American" policy & begin importing workers for a "Hire Cheapest" policy. If so, biz will stop hiring young/sidelined Americans & stop raising wages. Re. 2020: Why would Americans vote for a Pres who cuts their wages?
Watch Sen. Dick Durbin tell some of the 800,000 Indian contract-workers who have taken college-level jobs from American graduates that he wants more of them to come to the United States. Still no estb. media coverage of

Trump & HUD chief Ben Carson restore women's privacy rights in gov't shelters. Obama's transgender ideology ended women's rights by req'ing officials to put men 'with a female gender identity' in women's bed/bathrooms. So now Carson OK's single-sex rooms.
Joe Biden promises not to deport illegal immigrants who are caught driving drunk.
MADD is now mad at him: 'MADD believes [DUI drivers] should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of the offender’s immigration status.'
American graduates face mass layoffs by C-suite executives, many of whom favor hiring Indian, Chinese, and other foreign grad visa-workers.
Time for the US graduate class to organize, demand their workplace rights, and push back, say lawyers & activists
Final DoJ document filed in DACA lawsuit is a bombshell: Says the law does not allow agencies to create so many work permits.
OK, so what law allows the H4 EAD, & OPT/CPT work-permit programs?
Good news for US tech grads, big problem for tech investors.
California's wealthy import a poor illegal migrant workforce, then force Californians to fund a feelgood $125M poverty bailout.
That's an insult on top of the economic injury (wage-loss & housing poverty) done to blue-collars by elites' illegal migration.
Better late than never: Trump's deputies unveil fast-track regulations to curb H-1Bs, B-1/B-2 illegals & even the 'Practical Training' pipelines that pump foreign graduates into the US jobs needed by American grads.
Koch networks & Democrats will oppose.
The State Dept. has nullified Pres Trump's popular visa-worker Executive Order.
An agency memo provides easy workarounds for CEOs to import

Trump is looking at maybe 100K economic migrants in March & many more later. Guess he should not have signed his tax bill without getting immigration reforms first. Meanwhile, GOP leaders aid their donors now by importing the Democrats' future voters.
AG Sessions points out that Honduran 'caravan' migrants are refusing to seek asylum in Mexico. I assume Session's independent asylum-judges will note what federal asylum regs say about applicants who refuse asylum in a safe country on their journey.
India's H-1B contract-workers in the US are collecting funds to launch attack-ads against the US Senators who oppose their demand for green cards. They are working with

Trump's deputies begin importing 85,000 college-grad H-1B gig workers.
The first will arrive 30 days before the Nov election, as millions? of American grads seek jobs in coronavirus recovery.
Maybe 1.5 million visa-workers now hold US college jobs.
#H1B
Business lobbies worry Pres. Trump will send the Fortune 500's army of 'bonded labor' back to India.
That would be 300K jobs for American graduates, a huge boost for worker rights & professional class, and a useful populist promise for 2021.
#H1B
SCOTUS summary: DACA is illegal, but we're keeping it until Trump's deputy sends us a memo saying what his deputy said in June 2018.
Once the new memo arrives, the 4 Democrats on the court will invent a new rationale to preserve DACA's 700K work permits.
Reforms by AG Jeff Sessions are delivering a 'dramatic' reduction in migrants' asylum claims. That's good for Americans but bad for open-borders elitists & cheap-labor biz, so the ACLU is suing to get another judicial intervention.
Pres. Biden publicly asks VP Harris to help stifle the migration crisis, which is his biggest immediate problem:
She publicly walks away.
Silence from estb. media.
Did this happen to any president before?
Business groups leak Trump's draft visa reform plan.
The Fortune 500 wants to preserve its labor pipeline (now 1.3+ million) to bypass American professionals & heartland states.
But US voters strongly prefer US hiring.

"Dave":
I spent my entire high-tech career, until retirement, in Silicon Valley, more than half of it as a hiring manager, and I can say that the H1B program is a fraud. The U.S. has plenty of its own citizens who are qualified for high-tech jobs.
The Senate votes today on a stealth bill to reward many more Indian graduates if they take jobs from American grads. But the US grads who populate the estb media are ignoring the economic outsourcing threat to their friends, peers, and kids. Not Breitbart:
WSJ says wages are too damn high, so gov't must intervene to further increase the labor supply.
It is always good when business admits the law of supply & demand applies to the price of labor.
The estb. media will notice as their kids & peers lose out.
Looks like Paul Ryan and Marc Short have been misleading POTUS on what is in the omnibus bill. Perhaps they should have waited until he signed the bill.
GOP Sen. Mike Lee is again pushing his
#S386
bill to reward 300K Indian graduates for taking college jobs from American graduates. GOP Senators stay quiet & Dems say Lee should reward more foreign grads. Estb. media is silent. Truly bizarre.
The Democrats' amnesty hides a huge expansion of white-collar visa workers into the jobs needed by American grads.
Millions of grads will lose wealth & status to greedy executives & investors.
So prefers to talk about 'dreamers.'
High Country News shows how the federal H-2B program hollows out Western towns by outsourcing local forestry jobs to foreign migrant workers. Contractors gain, communities lose.
The

Romney's impeachment dump on Trump taints the push by Lee & Utah for a GOP OK of Utah's business plan.
CBS says Joe Biden's team will demolish Trump's Central American 'legal wall' against global migration.
This is how migrations begin; Media will stay quiet as progressives open loopholes for coyotes & migrants to do their part for Wall St's stock values.
Election-year Trump sees where the votes are & finally signs an Executive Order to cut gov't H-1B outsourcing.
The GOP's biz wing hates the loss, even tho' 200 TVA jobs -- or 18K jobs in gov't agencies -- are a teaspoon out of the Fortune 500's cake.

Many U.S. journalists are losing their jobs while the fed gov't gives companies H-1B visas to import hundreds of temp workers for media jobs. This outsourcing has been imposed on IT, medical & biz grads for many years, but is now reaching media/arts grads.

Here's a description of a leaked copy of the amnesty bill: Unlimited and unending, perfect for the Chamber of Commerce, disaster for GOP in November. Makes me think of campaign-Trump's snake story.

Donald Trump is letting himself be walked by advisors to George W. Bush's happy place; A stock market binge fuelled by cheap labor, migration, and amnesty.
That's how Bush pushed his Gallup ratings down to 30 percent & how the Senate GOP lost 8 seats.
Fox's Sean Hannity opposes Dems' green-card giveaway to Indians & the outsourcing biz. 'It would reward employers who literally replace American workers potentially with hundreds of thousands of low cost, less skilled workers.' But 100 GOP Reps back it.
NC GOP

They'll dislike it more when they see how OPT shoves them & their college-grad kids out of Fortune 500 jobs & the middle class.

Donald Trump's deputies restart a program to exclude illegals from jobs. Social Security Administration will send 'no-match letters' to companies when it sees duplicate SSNs claimed by illegals who steal Americans' identity. Democrats & biz will oppose.
Bizarro World: Agency director Thoman Homan doubles the productivity of his ICE government agency, so Congress objects, companies complain, and wages nudge up. What will happen if Homan's replacement doubles productivity again?
The H-1B visa program is so much more than college-graduate outsourcing.
Indian gov't sees the H-1Bs as a bridge to modernity.
US biz sees them as a bridge for exports to India.
So the US college-grad middle class is being traded away, quietly.
#S386
Mike Lee's

Pres. Trump cites Love as he makes moral case for curbing illegal migration. Says Democrats' passivity is "cruel." Warns of snobbery: 'Working class Americans are left to pay the price." It may help counter Dems & donors who shriek 'racism' to deter voters
Dick Durbin admits the obvious to NPR - Trump's low-immigration/high-wage reforms are popular. But NPR rushes to reassure him that Americans really want a no-strings, cheap-labor amnesty.
Judge tells Tennessee taxpayers they must fund the federal government's policy of dropping very needy & expensive refugees into their school districts. Arguably contradicts 2012 SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare & Medicaid.

Donald Trump's DHS used another tactic to speed the delivery of 85,000 new foreign graduates into American grads' jobs: It quietly changed signature rules so corps. could file requests via the Internet amid the epidemic for H-1B workers b4 3/20 deadline.

The fraud even sidelines some US-trained foreign workers in favor of unskilled labor from India.
But the feds' primary goal is to flood the labor market BAMN, whatever the vast damage to Americans or Indians.
Donald Trump dodges, ducks, and dives when asked about H-1Bs by Indian reporter.
That's a good sign for the Americans graduates who are organizing against the CEOs' hiring of 1 million Indian white-collar visa workers throughout the United States.
GOP Sen. Rick Scott is getting harassed by India's Immigration Voice group, which lobbies for India's workers to get the Fortune 500 white-collar jobs needed by US graduates.
E.g., "use different email accounts on different days."
Speaker Ryan expands H-2B program to roughly 100,000 visas in 2018. That means he is also shrinking the pressure on companies to raise voters' wages before an election, right?
Elite-left narrative: Migrant families separated by Trump cruelty. DHS data: Deported migrants are leaving their children in Trump care. No surprise that many decent parents will try to smuggle their kids into US suburbia/schools. Qs: How many? Who loses?
