I was going to make this comment in another thread asking us not to be divided on H1-B. But I felt this was important enough it needs it own place. To everyone repeating the "they're trying to divide us" narrative:
Why? And who is they?
Honestly. We've already elected our representatives. At this point, you and I have exactly zero say in whatever happens next. It is 100% up to Congress. So what difference does it make now if "they" divide us? Divide us on what exactly? Why would "they" even waste time on this?
I'm sorry. This "they're trying to divide us" idea makes no sense to me. What happened during the H1-B discussions was the legitimate uncovering of a chasm of disagreement over what the goals for America should be.
Elon et. al. believe that America is "winning" if the organization called America can outcompete the Chinese in technology. To do that, he is quite willing to cast aside the American people and bring in foreign talent.
That is 100% at odds with what most people of America think. We think America IS the people. And if we need a decade of rebuilding before we can compete with the Chinese, then so be it. "Winning" to us is taking time off to recover and reestablish our the foundation of our country and culture, and only when we're ready with properly qualified domestic talent, should we talk about trying to catch up and surpass the rest of the world.
Now, we get this dubious message from those who want to keep the globalist operation going to calm down and don't be divided. They want to paper over the serious problem so it can't be seen, and just be a good boy and accept whatever government tells you for the sake of global unity.
NO! I won't do that. That kind of nonsense is exactly how the globalist criminal syndicate took over in the first place. This is a tactic of the Left. Show "unity". Just accept everything we tell you out of fear that those radical enemies could win.
The reality is, the globalist criminal syndicate is already defeated. The political machine that will eviscerate them is in office and preparing to launch. There is nothing more we need to do about that. The time when we needed unity is over. Now, we need to decide what is going to replace them, and I will be damned if I let Elon's vision for America override what the people want.
I want every single person in America, including Trump, Elon, and every Congressman, to know exactly where I stand. And I will continue announcing it whenever and wherever it is possible.
I appreciate your opinion. I believe we’re going to see this whole argument was much ado about nothing in the end. We’re going to find out neither Musk, Ramaswamy, Loomer, or Bannon understand President Trump’s vision for the future.
They are arguing from the perspective of the DS imposed managed decline. They see the economic pie as being stagnant or getting smaller over time. Their overriding goal is to maintain what they see as their elite status. No matter what they may claim about being America First, they are all me first.
President Trump sees the economic pie getting bigger and, he does hold the interest of American Citizens first. If he was a me first person he would have folded a long time ago. Moving forward I believe what President Trump achieves in this second term will astound all of us.
I believe under President Trump the H1B program will become a thing of the past. Even though it wasn’t really discussed during the campaign, he tried to make changes to it in his first term. And, he has been clear he wants to close other legal immigration laws, like chain migration.
Reasonable point
