There needs to be a complete moratorium on immigrants. Not one more person allowed in until everyone who isn't supposed to be here is sent home. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Same. I'm so sick of immigration and diversity. The left completely burned it out of me.
I want America for Americans.
Yup. We are a European centric nation. If that origin is lost than this country is gone.
Yupp. There's no non white nations that share our values. Everything America stands for goes away when it's no longer European centric.
What?? We really think that our country will still be America if it was run by Africans? Middle easterners? By Indians. Let's get real.
Let me bring in my based Eastern Europen wife first.
Warning: that hot Eastern European wife will turn into a large baked potato in 20 or 30 years :-)
Respectfully no. We got shit to fix first here. America First.
now you get it!!
We did back 100 years ago.
Immigration Act of 1924 The US Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was a significant piece of legislation that significantly restricted immigration to the United States. Here are the key points:
National Origins Quota: The act established a national origins quota system, which limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the US based on the nationalities represented in the 1890 US census. This meant that immigrants from certain countries, particularly Southern and Eastern Europe, were severely restricted. Two Percent Quota: The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the US as of 1890. This effectively reduced immigration from these regions. Exclusion of Asians: The act completely excluded immigrants from Asia, a move that angered Chinese and Japanese communities already living in the US. Precedent for Future Restrictions: The 1924 act set a precedent for future immigration restrictions, including the Immigration Act of 1929, which made the quotas permanent and restricted immigration to 150,000 per year. These provisions were aimed at reducing immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, which was seen as a threat to the “American stock” and the country’s cultural homogeneity. The act had a profound impact on the demographics of the US, leading to a significant decline in immigration from these regions and a shift towards immigration from Northern and Western Europe.
Context: The 1924 act built upon earlier restrictions, including the 1917 Immigration Act, which introduced a literacy test and increased taxes for new immigrants. The uncertainty generated by World War I and concerns about national security also contributed to the passage of more restrictive immigration laws.
Legacy: The US Immigration Act of 1924 remained in place until 1965, when the Immigration and Nationality Act abolished the national origins quota system and established a new system based on family reunification and employment needs. The act’s legacy continues to influence US immigration policy and debates to this day.

Sounds nice in theory , not very practical though to wait till every single person is removed before bringing in people that are needed that cant be found in the US.
It's impractical to maintain and regulate access to a nation and it's services? How the heck do other countries do it then...
My point is if we need certain people from other countries for the next little while then it doesnt make sense to not bring them in WHILST removing the unwanteds at the same time.
OP was stating it as Absolutely NO, we cant do this, we must remove everyone first.with NO EXCEPTIONS....it might take a while to do that.
We can be doing BOTH at the same time and keep the engine running.
These are temp visas and NOT citizenship papers.
If they can't be found then I guess you're gonna have to find somebody with the work ethic, treat them right, pay them a liveable wage, and train them up. You know, the way we used to do it before we started importing slave labor from the third world en masse to drive up the cost of housing and drive down the wages.
I think that is short-sighted. Would you prefer less educated, less skilled American DEI hires to take open positions in brain surgery, for example? Imagine being an unfortunate patient in need of an operation that only one in the world could perform and he was denied immigration to the U.S. because of your NO EXCEPTIONS policy. While I totally agree that the current system had been abused and in need of change and better oversight, I can envision situations where highly skilled, highly talented people are needed and not enough Americans that fit that description are available. We should not cut off our nose to spite our face.
Sounds like an education and training problem. Plenty of Americans can undergo the same training that Indian doctors take.
Consider a couple of things. First, much of America's education system is outputting students far behind other countries. According to World Population Review, U.S. ranks 18th when it comes to math/science test scores for high school graduates. So, top performing students from the 17 higher scoring countries are competing for spots at top colleges worldwide. Many of those institutions aren't as concerned with DEI among their student body so that makes for more intense competition. Ultimately, the smartest students will find their way to the most demanding jobs in medicine, technology, engineering, physics, etc. It is those people who are well trained, well educated that I'm talking about. These people should be able to come to the U.S. if they are equal or better than our best and brightest to fill these demanding jobs.
Secondly, with advances in science, engineering, etc occurring faster and faster, there is a deficit of well prepared, domestically educated people to fill these positions. I would argue much of that is because our educational systems in this country have been focused on liberal ideas that the rest of the world cares little about. Harvard is no longer the caliber it once was. This is true of most if not all the Ivy League schools. It would take at least one or possibly two generations to get our education systems back on track. Meanwhile, who will fill the most demanding positions?
Also consider this. Have you ever been to a doctors office and saw their diploma on the wall? Where on that diploma is their class rank? Obviously, it's not there. It used to be if you graduated from a name college, you have prestige of it's name that carries you forward. Not anymore. The liberal Marxist ideologies espoused at these famous U.S. colleges have degraded the quality of output among the graduates. Those students might be "smart" but at what?
So yes, the problem is education first and then training later. I've made this comparison before. Imagine you photocopy a document on a poorly maintained, second rate copier. That's the second generation. Then copy that second generation on the same machine again. Imagine the problem when applied to training at a post graduate level. That's why American education has been in decline for generations. The A students went to professional schools. The B students to managerial schools. The C students went to teaching schools. Those C students are the average HS teachers today. Tomorrow it will be the D students teaching in public schools. How well prepared will the average HS student be for the rigors of high end training if it can even be found in the U.S.?
This is why it's vital for America to bring in talent if they can't find enough of it here. That is, of course, if they want to stay in the lead in science and technology. Go to any major science and technology university in the U.S. Watch the student body as it moves about. You will be surprised at the numbers of Asians and Indians you see. In many cases they outnumber Americans. That's for the reasons above. I wish that were not the case but it's true. Unless we get our educational priorities straight with what they're teaching, we're destined to fail. It's not a money problem because US high school teachers are among the highest paid in the world. It's the leftist culture pushing wokeness instead of math and science that's the problem. It's more interest in Gender Studies than interest in physics.
One final point. I foresee a time where companies like Tesla will form their own schools to teach students what they need to know to work there because they can't rely on the outside schools anymore. Is it any wonder that Tesla is working to produce highly intelligent robots that can to taught to do necessary things today?
Long winded SOB
Sometimes I put Bugles on the end of all of my fingertips while eating them. It's a real hoot...
I used to as a child . No way they still fit bro. Consider this party pooped 💩
Don't make fun of OP's teeny tiny little baby hands
Thank you.
I love you guys... you're so caring
u/#sassypopcorn
We're here for you....and your tiny hands
Right on!
Gimme 5 👋🏻 (easy tho... not too hard!)
😂😂😂😂😂
Hell yeah, i look at my toilet paper before i flush
This makes no sense....How can they ask for MORE immigration when the law was already there?
Not to mention that Elon just agreed that H1B needs to be reformed.
Also, look over OP's recent posts: https://greatawakening.win/u/Fatality/
Seems a bit obsessive.
Consider this: https://greatawakening.win/p/19A12oqqBy/cates-makes-a-good-point/c/
OP apparently has some grudge to grind against Elon.
Did he confirm or just comment YES to a post?
doesnt agreeing with a post confirm that is what you believe as well?
But for clarity I changed confirm to agreed....

The Democratic Controlled Congress and Lyndon Johnson in 1965 ended the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924.
Immigration Act of 1965
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a landmark legislation signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, 1965. The act abolished the National Origins Formula, which had been the basis of U.S. immigration policy since the 1920s, and replaced it with a new system that prioritized family reunification, occupational skills, and political refugees.
Key Provisions:
Abolition of National Origins Quotas: The act eliminated the quota system based on national origins, which had favored immigration from Northern and Western Europe and restricted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Family Reunification: The law established a preference system for immigrants with close relatives already living in the United States, such as spouses, children, and parents. Occupational Skills: The act prioritized immigrants with skills and education that matched labor market needs in the United States.
Political Refugees: The law provided a separate category for refugees fleeing political persecution or war. Annual Visa Caps: The act established an annual ceiling of 290,000 visas, with a maximum of 20,000 visas per country.
Impact: Diversification of Immigration: The Immigration Act of 1965 led to a significant shift in the demographics of U.S. immigration, as people from Asia, Africa, and Latin America began to arrive in greater numbers. Increased Immigration: The act led to a substantial increase in immigration to the United States, with the number of legal immigrants rising from approximately 350,000 in 1965 to over 1 million by the early 1970s.
Changes in U.S. Society: The Immigration Act of 1965 contributed to the diversification of American society, culture, and economy, as new immigrants brought with them different languages, customs, and skills.
Quotes and Remarks:
President Lyndon B. Johnson: “This bill says simply that from this day forth those wishing to immigrate to America shall be admitted on the basis of their skills and their close relationship to those already here… Those who can contribute most to this country–to its growth, to its strength, to its spirit–will be the first that are admitted to this land.”
Senator Philip Hart: “Forty years of testing have proven that the rigid pattern of discrimination has not only produced imbalances that have irritated many nations, but Congress itself, through a long series of enactments forced by the realities of a changing world saw fit to modify this unworkable formula so that today it remains on the books primarily as an expression of gratuitous condescension.”

Elon has stated that once he perfects self replicating robots , labor will be free
That raises another question: if that's the case who will have money to buy things? we'd have to have a complete change of all systems.
Maybe the point is that Americans need to learn how tech and computers work instead of just frying their eyes and brains with the blue light and EMFs of their "smart" phone all day long while the keep up with "the current thing".
Yup
What? Too soon?
But food, housing, etc. will not be free.
Absolutely did not ask for more immigration.
Getting rid of H1B would break America overnight.
Not knowing this means you're too far-disconnected to be making any real decisions.
Your terms are acceptable.
You don't fucking get it.
The entire strength of America is that we intelligently steal the cream of the crop from the entire world. All the smartest most skilled people from the planet.
We want those. I have a friend whose ticket into the country was being a master machinist of fine engine components.
The abuse bit, and the part we need to STOP, is people coming in and saying "oh yeah I'm a doctor in my country oh yeah I'm an engineer of advanced robotics" but when they come in that's not fucking true at all and the employer fucking lied to get a basic fucking nurse into the country, and the 'advanced robotics' guy doesn't know shit either and they call him advanced robotics in all his paperwork when in reality it's a complete moron who they moved into IT because after getting stateside it became extremely apparent they're not capable of the shit put on the application.
H1B abuse affects me personally. But getting rid of H1B is not the answer; the answer is to start cracking down hard as SHIT on H1B abuse, I'm thinking charges of treason.
You dont get it. People have been wanting this country to completely fall so they can live out a swiss family robinson fantasy without feeling like they are missing out on a future others have access to. Sometimes they are called accelerationists. Many many posts celebrating some kind of civil war etc.
We did that after the fall of NAZI Germany and they infiltrated all government agencies and systems of higher learning
Project Paperclip cannot be likened to H1B but nice try
I get it, I just disagree.
Import the third world, become the third world. I don't care how high the DOW or the GDP gets if the people who built this country end up as second class citizens in our own homeland. If the H1B lotto winners are so special, then they can fix their own countries while we fix ours.
Sure, if the visa program worked the way it was advertized, it'd be great, but so would communism. It is currently working exactly as it was intended to work and it seems to be doing more harm than good.
You're an idiot
We'll see.
Agree.
Why more immigration? Aren't we getting Canada now? Isn't that enough? LOL
solid point
Linus Sebastian has entered the chat... 😂
A Canadian man is here? Word.
