Karl Denninger quite rightly condemns President Trump’s failure to stand up for the American worker:
So Trump has once again betrayed the tens of millions (the majority of the whole, this time) who voted for him. He has recently stated, in a sit-down interview, that if the Democrats would consent he would support “immigration reform” that includes a path to citizenship for those who are here.
In other words: More flooding of the zone, more cheating, more degradation of America and letting those who broke the law stay.
The uncovering of scams in these people as a population group continues. More than half of all “non-domiciled” CDL issuances in NC, for example, are now known to be unlawful. That is, scammed. Thousands of immigrants scammed nursing tests and credentials and got hired; the nurse at your bed may well be an unqualified immigrant. Nobody — and I do mean nobody — has been prosecuted for any of this. Not the principles nor those who enabled the scams and issued the credentials. Not one person has gone to prison or been indicted thus far in any of these scams.
The Somali problem is clear; even after a decade of being in the United States they cannot speak English competently and most of the families headed by said persons (approximately 80%) are on welfare. Most. This compared with less than one in five of households headed by those born in America and not of said heritage.
It is often claimed that the H-1bs are “of great help” to American business. They are — to cutting employment cost. But that’s all. They also, once any of them get into management, start practicing the very same caste system nonsense that they have been inculcated with in their own nation which is illegal in the United States but they do it anyway, and nobody goes to jail.
Every economist who said that “immigration is good for the economy” needs to be jailed for malpractice. Every single one. Immigration is not, and could never be, an unqualified good, and in its current form, is an obvious socially-destructive evil.
