27% of the California population weren’t born in America, one million foreign students here every year, etc. This was from Victor Hanson from the Hoover Institute. He said if something doesn’t change by integrating everybody into the way America should be we will be reverting to tribalism

President Donald Trump wants to stop all immigration from third world countries and deport the recent immigrants from them. That will help. He is saying India is not a third world country now. Having seen numerous videos of India, it most definitely is. He wants more immigrants from India and China. I don't want any from India and China. They are both going to be big problems for us.

It’s an attempt to control a state you flood it with immigrants and keep them scared to vote your way just like what happened in MN.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Are we including starlings in that count?

There's probably hundreds of millions of starlings in the US, so no.

My friend Sandy used to trip and kill a mix of around 12,000 sparrows and starlings a year.

The immigrants from India and China aren't being brought here to pick crops. The photo that made the rounds of Trump with the gold medalists from the Physics Olympiad was certainly visually striking.

Is there good reason to lure the best and brightest from other countries to make their home in the USA? I think so, and that's the theory behind the H-1B visa. But the H-1B program has been abused to bring in workers from Indian diploma mills as cheap labor, displacing American tech workers who have been struggling in the current job market. Even Elon Musk, who is a supporter of H-1B visas, just admitted that there are outsourcing firms that game the system. The $100,000 fee Trump announced for H-1B workers seems like a step in the right direction to filter out the lower-quality candidates. If there's truly an outstanding candidate who brings value and expertise that fills a void in the American job market, the company will pay the fee to bring him over. I don't know if the fee goes too far or not far enough; we'll just have to see how the job market reacts to this new fee. But I do believe that the USA is enriched by bringing in the best and brightest, and we should maintain a sensible policy for doing so.
