Maybe it's a good idea for Dems to add it to their repertory.. it would be a good marketing..
It was actually part of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. He and repubes attacked her for saying that we should attract and keep the talent from all around the world. Now he shamelessly stole the same idea, all the mainstream media are running wild with headlines like “Trump strikes a moderate tone on immigration” - completely absolving his administration’s atrocities related to immigration. Only for him to walk it all back within 24 hours.
Anyone thinks these racist repubes will do anything better for immigrants - let it be legal or illegal, high skilled or low skilled - is completely delusional. The whole reason immigration is in shambles and border is being overrun is republicans policies over past 2 decades.
We just need the media to repeat the headline over and over that "Trump says more immigration is good". That'll erode his racist voting base.
He could rape their kids live on cspan and they’d line up to lick his asshole in gratitude. It’s a fucking cult.

I thought it was America's full heroin like addiction to cheap migrant labor. Let's be real Republicans and Democrats know that the US economy will grind to a hault if ppl stopped crossing the border. The fact congress won't make work visas for farm laborers less convoluted and backwards is on purpose. You can't have things like labor laws stopping that 11 year Mexican kid picking strawberries for $2 an hour
I believe you are right, it's more about the death wages(big business) than human rights..
Yup. Immigration authorities know they can pick random farms in certain regions and round up the entire workforce as working without a visa. Enforcing this would grind agriculture to a halt in many states.
Nobody actually wants that, including the farm owners who tend to vote Trump and complain about the "illegals" working for them. So they do a few raids now and then to look like they're doing something. Meanwhile, the workers aren't allowed to take water breaks in humid >90F weather.
"Border being overrun" isn't a thing, just like we don't have a higher crime rate. Media just loves their stories, regardless of the truth.
I don't understand how these students would even still be around to graduate when Project 2025 has them all being rounded up. This is clearly a case of Trump saying shit for someone trying to get their vote with 0% intent to follow through on it, because he only cares about himself.
Trump saying shit for someone trying to get their vote with 0% intent to follow through on it
i mean he follows through with his promises to make the 1% richer at the expense of everyone else, that's gotta count for something, right?
So his usual spaghetti strategy - throw out every crazy idea and see what sticks. If the base doesn't like it then it was just a joke or misunderstanding - surely you didn't think it was serious, did you?
