When asked about H-1B visas that allow foreigners to work in the U.S. in high-demand jobs, the president trashed American workers, telling the Fox personality they are needed because, “Well, I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent.”
Pressed about his answer with, “We don’t have talented people here?” Trump bluntly stated, “No.”
“rebel” = “unquestioningly follow”
Hey, is this one of you “literal means figurative” people? Stop poisoning The Great Link! Get help!
H1B is constantly abused to drive costs down. That’s where those “need 7 years experience on a 3 year old product” ads come from. Companies BS their way into claiming there’s no local talent so they can hire from abroad at a discount. The fact that Trump supports this is not a surprise. They literally want slave labor.
Pssst, he hates soldiers and veterans, too.
Especially the ones that get caught.
And shot. They don’t have the miracle bones of Charlie Kirk? Weaksauce.
Back in 2015 Trump swore up and down that he’d testify in the Trump University case and prove that it was a legitimate school and not a giant scam.
Then he quietly paid off the students who’d sued him, tacitly admitting that it was a fraud.
When I pointed this out to a MAGat online, they replied that the students were at fault, and they should have read the fine print.
What he really means is “Talented Americans cost too much”.
I once had a boss tell me to my face that I had to work three times as hard as the team members in Eastern Europe, because they were paid three times less than I was. Yeah, I didn’t stay long after that.
What a piece of shit trump is. America has just as talented workers as the rest of the world, and our garbage corporations like to exploit H-1Bs to undercut well deserved labor costs. This is total regulatory capture on display, Trump is a corporate removed and will gladly betray working class Americans if you pay him some money or buy his shitcoin to do so.
“betray” implies he was ever on the side of the working class. He has never, NEVER been on the side of the working class. He has always, since birth, been the enemy of the workers.
Well hes sort of right for once. The US has a completely crippled production sector. The know-how just doesnt exist there anymore for many things. Thats just what decades of outsourcing do to a country so the same is true for European countries.
Companies used to train people. You could work your way from an entry-level position and eventually learn many parts of the business, which would result in senior managers and executives who deeply understood it.
But employers haven’t been interested in training for decades. Training is spending time not making money. They want people who already know how to make money for them from day one, which is a reason they import workers, rather than train citizens. In other words, corporations created the conditions they now use to hire H-1B workers.
So I think this program does real harm to American workers. I think they should end it entirely and force companies to focus more on training, or go back to treating university curricula as their feeder programs by partnering with schools, like they used to.
I say that having just hired an H-1B worker because there weren’t any comparable candidates. Companies don’t value loyalty and treat workers as disposable, so it’s no surprise. That’s the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, but now there’s even less incentive to create entry-level jobs because of AI.
why not limit H1-B to training positions. Make it illegal to give them any logins on the systems outside of standard accounts and have to work through citizens. Its a security issue or some such.
I’m not quite sure I understand your logic. H-1B is a visa type. If your visa is not renewed, you must leave the country. Your proposal really wouldn’t satisfy either side of the arrangement, because once training ends, foreign workers would have to find a new role or leave. For companies, it’s tedious, time-consuming, and expansive to update or renew an H-1B visa. It would also be ripe for abuse, as both sides would be incentivized to ignore that stipulation.
Training should not need to end. If someone can do it themselves then get another employee up to speed. They could run classes or act as a kind of guru. I mean if the need is that important. The ripe for abuse thing can apply to any crime.
American talent split the atom and went to the moon.
Anyone going to tell him?
We have enough talented people here, but we do need more people with the right education and training. If he doesn’t want to expand the h1-b program, he’s going to have to invest in education and the incentives for people to get the education the economy requires. Such as pay for certain university degrees or trade certifications. The machine to study and predict what the economy will need will cost money. And he’s going to have to incentivize employers to provide training to people entering the workforce, which will cost money too. Even with all of that, there will still be a need for h1-b visas.
Wasn’t his properties primarily staffed by H1B workers, all highly underpaid?
I agree. I mean look at whos running the country. Not just the president but the heads of departments. I mean if that is the best we got we have a massive talent gap.
American workers don’t want to put in 60-80 hour weeks like these H-1B guys will, overworking assholes.
