This is truly a disgrace. On the designated Made in America week, the Trump administration (DHS) authorized 15,000 visas for seasonal workers. These are H2B visas that are used for non agricultural temp jobs. Now we know why the wall has not been built yet. Trump's Florida resort takes advantage of this program too it seems.

It is worth noting that TIC & Family outsources it's own manufacturing while celebrating the Made in America week. And the 'deplorables' will absolutely soak this up as yet another MAGA moment.

Can anyone here make sense of this statement?
Quote:
The official also insisted the increase in foreign workers squarely fits into the president’s talking points to “hire American.”

“The Secretary first and foremost is committed to protect American workers and strengthening the integrity of the immigration system,” he added.

“We’re talking about American businesses at risk of suffering irreparable harm if they don’t get additional H-b workers so that fits into the ‘American workers’ first” mentality, another senior official said. “This does help with American businesses continuing to prosper.”

Is this what you Yanks call doublespeak, trickle down at play or both?

This is Trump playing with himself and he has not won yet.

Sheer sexism.

Mr. Pots - you are an American. I can't expect that you know what tact is. In this special case: tact towards the French First Lady Madame Brigitte Macron.
Harmon, I think I know what sort of reaction we'd have from you, if a comment like your last was thrown your way. Now anyone can be upset and lash out, but your upset at Pots was based on your misunderstanding. I remain disappointed that you didn't remember to apologize.

At least seven federal lawsuits against Trump's sham "voter integrity" commission.

I have a very high regard for Harmon. I just assumed it was a slip.... no worries.

Thank you
