“They’re taking our degrees!”
“Degrees” doesn’t sound as funny as “jerbs”, but it’ll do.
They’re takin our learnin things!
Nice.
“Dey terk er dergers!”
Ermahgerd, dey terk er gersberms.
I can’t puzzle “gersberms” out, what is it?
Just wait til they find out you can gain citizenship by serving in our military
Yes, but it is not automatic, despite the government literally having all the information already so they should be able to, blame Congress as usual. And quite often the way to begin that process is not mentioned to those that would qualify. It’s clearly one of the many areas the military doesn’t handle well.
For those that need it, a link to check eligibility and get the forms necessary:

I served with several who were trying to gain citizenship that way. I never thought to ask how they found out about it, I was always more interested in learning what they loved about here and missed from their home countries lol.
There’s also the chance that they’ll get deported after service because they weren’t given adequate support for PTSD and/or TBI.

Disgusting as it is, all the more reason to make sure these individuals know what they qualify for and get them everything they deserve.
The poor support we have for our veterans and first responders in this country after they’re out is ridiculous with the amount we pay for it. The VA isn’t immune from the US healthcare bullshit lobbied for by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries to line their pockets. Remove the shit they have managed to drive into the system for decades and our current spending would go a lot further, and increasing that funding at that point would get us to a more reasonable point. Instead they’re fighting about shit like whether having soldiers near burning pits of hazardous materials is bad for their health or not.
This does not benefit the average Trump voter, this only benefits the owners and investors of private healthcare businesses as it will allow them to employ filipinos and indian doctors and nurses with cheap salaries
H1B visas require you to pay the prevailing wage to candidates. These doctors are not given “cheap salaries.” And they often come with much better practical experience than some American straight out of fellowship.
That’s assuming they’re treated properly and not subjected to unreasonable expectations just because management knows they can hold the worker’s visa over his head.
Not to mention that hiring immigrant workers means lowering the chance of hiring someone with an intimate knowledge of workers rights, making it easier to pull illegal shit without repercussions.
Statistically, it’s much more likely that someone from outside the USA will know and care about worker rights (or even be aware of the concept that voters — or even citizens — can have any rights other than free speech and the right to carry guns) than someone from the USA… most countries have at least some form of workers rights, and some unionisation culture and history, while in the US they’re effectively inexistent…
They’re not. I do this for a living. Physicians have all the power in the relationship with private practices and health systems can’t afford to lose them, so they stand pat too.
We spend so much time focusing on Trump that it’s easy to overlook how reprehensible his followers are. What incredibly hateful people! “We won’t support you anymore because you stand for things that don’t hurt ‘them’ enough! You’ve lost my vote!”
Seethe, MAGAts, seethe.

“Yeah. Sure. ‘Operation Paperclip’ worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,” the user wrote.
Umm… what?
Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.
What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?

After the war ended, we were snatching up kraut scientists like hot cakes. You don’t believe me? Walk into NASA sometime and yell “Heil Hitler”, WOOP, they all jump straight up!
Still? Most likely those guys are long dead.
It’s a reference to Archer. Which was referencing operation paperclip.
Damn it, I had something for this!
Phrasing
Well he might be worried about Nazis in America, but uh that Venn diagram has very little overlap.
Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis
Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun,
A man whose allegiance
Is ruled by expedience.
Call him a Nazi, he won’t even frown,
"Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, " says Wernher von Braun.Don’t say that he’s hypocritical,
Say rather that he’s apolitical.
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That’s not my department, " says Wernher von Braun.Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town,
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.You too may be a big hero,
Once you’ve learned to count backwards to zero.
"In German oder English I know how to count down,
Und I’m learning Chinese!" says Wernher von Braun.deleted by creator
A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
Doubt.
Hmmm
GOP - attack education at all levels and accuse universities of being liberal communist breeding grounds
Also GOP - We gotta ban all foreigners on the wrong end of the family guy color swatch and mass deport those already here
Trump - Let’s give foreigners with degrees green cards
Something doesn’t track here.
If I get my tinfoil hat resized, I might think this is how you lower pay for professionals.
Something doesn’t track here.
Treason Trump is trying to be an immigration extremist at both ends simultaneously.
I figured this balancing act would topple eventually. He can’t keep his crazy Base happy and reach out to moderates with sensible policy.
Did you really need to click bait it? Just write the reason in the header.
Treason Trump is going to hand out unlimited Green Cards to foreign workers as a favor to billionaire friends.
I hate articles that just regurgitate tweets. A few random people saying something doesn’t make it news.
“I hope to see changes but until then, I am now an uncommitted voter.”
What do you bet he’s still gonna vote R in November
it’s a Twitter post, I’d be surprised he was ever real
There’s just as good a chance he will just stay home.
Spoke to an old man today who needed help blocking all of the Trump shit he subbed to. Apparently he isn’t voting for him anymore. Dunno if he’s voting for Harris or just not voting, but it felt good getting rid of all that shit for him
My wife overheard some boomers at a restaurant talking and she was shocked to hear them talking about NOT voting for Trump. He’s not doing himself any favors. Previously alienating seniors and vets because of Project NeverHeardOfIt, now this. He’s eroding his own base trying to appeal to a larger audience and I’m ok with that.
Nice! I love things like this. Gives me a little hope lol
She said she was getting geared to wellactually-mode and instead got to putter around giddy that there’s still hope for some of them!
That’s awesome! I’m glad she got to experience that
He’s made his bed with the Silicon Valley elite and now he has to do their unpopular things. All that money comes with strings.
It’s enjoyable watching it happen to somebody I don’t like for once.
I’m glad he has conflicting masters.
The only interesting things in the story were:
Trump took to Truth Social at around 3:00 A.M. on Saturday morning to share a link celebrating a proposal he had previously put forth.
The link, an opinion piece from the Washington Examiner, is titled, “Trump is right: Foreign graduates should get green cards.”
The rest of it is just cherry picked tweets or xits or whatever.
Oh this could be a new strategy. Trick Trump into sharing things his base will hate by starting the headline with something like “Trump is right” or “Trump is a genius.”
why was he on social media at 3am?
Rumors are that he is addicted to uppers.
As a foreigner with a college degree who grew up in the States: no thanks. I have nothing against Americans, but their politics alone drive people mad.
Me too dude…
Welcome to the club. Donuts and coffee are on the table. Group discussion starts in 5.
These fuckin’ jabronis.
“Yeah. Sure. ‘Operation Paperclip’ worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,”
Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 59.
Yeah, it just did horrible things for America…
