H-1B visas



Interesting talk on the current rift in MAGA about the H-1B visa program .... Elon Musk for the visas and Steve Bannon against the visas. I have to say, I agree with Bannon on this subject - invest in American workers, instead of importing them.

An intriguing bit of info from Stuart Stevens in the video above ... he said that it's generally believed that Musk lied on his documents when applying to become a naturalized citizen of the US, and that people who do this are usually deported. Can we? Can we jusrt deport him? Please let it be true! We could send him to Germany, as that seems to be the latest country he's trying to buy - Berlin accuses Elon Musk of seeking to influence Germany's election

But back to the visas - read what Robert Reich has to say about this ...

Musk really is a piece of work. Maybe most of Trump's base aren't even paying attention?
