There's some joke theory about going so far right extreme that you re-appear on the left. Reality is so twisted these days... why not I guess.

btaf45 OP ,

Bringing in immigrants to lower American wages and bust unions has always been a right wing thing. There is video of Ted Cruz saying he wants to increase the number of H1-B visas by 500%.

Remember "Build that wall" and "make Mexico pay for it"?

btaf45 OP ,

Everybody still supporting Treason Trump has just been promoted from Bootlicker to Globalist Bootlicker.

Boot licker and Putin's Richard licker.

My dad once called Trump a communist

I guess I should just be used to him being right, I thought he just had Cold War brain worms 😭

I know that it's probably just some combination of A. His sugar daddies want cheap labor and B. Democrats are leaning onto border controls so now he has to be contrarian, but you know what, if this gets republicans to embrace positive immigration reform, I'm here for it.

Still not voting for him though.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”

This isn't an egalitarian policy to let merit rise to the top. They are screening for white, rich conservative future voters.

btaf45 OP ,

Most immigrants will be nonwhite. This is because Convicted Criminal Treason Trump desperately wants money from other billionaires, and other billionaires desperately want to lower American wages.

I’ll be intrigued to see how this goes with his followers, seems like they’d be opposed to this

Literally the plan.

Rich, white, christian conservative foreigners only. They want a path to citizenship for hand picked voters from other countries.

He could paint it as taking down the "ivory tower intellectuals"

Since the goal they(the far right) achieved in Canada under Stephen Harper was the suppression of compensation.

To the point that a field requiring a job earns half the value in Canada that it does in the US.

I know companies starting "offshoring" efforts in Canada. The theory is that they are cheaper than US but on part technically and that more than makes up for the poor quality from India. Plus other benefits of language and time zones.

That wouldn't work at all. Treason Trump supporters care about themselves and only themselves. This affects all Americans in a huge way, and they would know it, if/when they learn about it. Being an immigration expansionist extremist completely undercuts Treason Trump's original propaganda of being "anti-establishment" and painting other politicians way milder policies as "globalists".

btaf45 OP ,

Very Extreme Globalist Donald Trump never actually cared about his followers.

jonne ,

They'll never hear about this.

rayyy ,

how this goes with his followers

They love anything the orange felon does. They would love it even if he raped their wives, and daughters and shit in their shoes.

bitchkat ,

Can you imagine how beaming they would be if Trump tried to have some kind of sex with their wives? She be a member of the Trump's Trollops club.

btaf45 OP ,

They love anything the orange felon does.

Actually not in the particular case. None of Treason Trump's original supporters from 2016 will like this if they learn about it. Whenever I talk to them that was always the #1 thing they say. Pretending to be against immigrants lowering wages was Treason Trump's original con to hook dupes. This was why they thought opportunist Trump was "anti-Establishment" and other politicians way milder immigration policies made them "Globalists". It is the later opportunists who supported Treason Trump for self-serving reasons that don't care about anything he says or does.

You know that meme with the guy on the bicycle who puts a stick in his own spokes?

Yeah.

Enkers ,

Oh, his voters. Yeahhh...
