Let us not forget the NRA accepting millions from Russian Nationalists, then using that money, to help finance the Trump campaign, for president.

John, the second to last sentence in the letter - the Clinton campaign, admittedly through it’s contractor, solicited the assistance of Russia. Don’t the WaPo and NYT articles clearly state this?JohnInCarolina said:

No, they hired a foreigner, who in turn went to Russia to collect info. He spoke with Russians but he wasn't directly soliciting the assistance of the Russian government.JohnEggGio said:

I understand that Russia is involved in both cases, but in essence the difference is in the process by which the information is obtained and the level of foreign government involvement. In one case, the foreigners involved were working on behalf of the foreign government and offering stolen information. Their intent was obviously to influence the US elections.
In the other, the foreigner (non-Russian) was contracted to do the work and looked for info... in Russia. The process was started on this side, in other words, and it didn't directly involve the Russian government. It's possible Russian sources he spoke to were aware of what he was doing and were providing disinformation, sure. Steele even accounted for this in his report. But Steele himself wasn't an agent of the foreign government.
Even the Republicans in the House themselves cleared this up when they looked into the active measures campaign back in 2018. If you want all the details, you can read the report:
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/20180322/108023/HRPT-115-1_1-p1-U3.pdf
But here's the key excerpt with regard to Steele:
""Under current federal election law, foreigners are prohibited from making contributions or donations in connection with any campaign in the United States. However, it is not illegal to contract with a foreign person or foreign entity for services, including conducting opposition research on a U.S. campaign."

And to carry it one step further, I am in favor of changing the tech HB employees from temporary jobs to a five year program with the end goal of permanent citizenship. Again why train competitors. Make them citizens and they will be working for the prevailing local wages.JohnInCarolina said:
Good Lord, a good percentage of them do become US citizens! They get their degrees in the US, then they get work visas, then green cards, and finally... become citizens. It's a key part of workforce development in the US and... legal immigration.Gulfcoastguy said:
If we aren’t going to allow them to become US citizens, what is the point of educating them? To staff our economic competitors in other countries? I find that stupid and short sighted. To deny the best while favoring grandparents and in laws of other immigrants with no further qualifications?JohnInCarolina said:http://admitted.nacacnet.org/wordpress/index.php/2019/06/13/students-seeking-us-visas-must-supply-social-media-details/
Sofa king stupid. The main thing this is going to do is to delay student visas, in some cases fairly significantly. Talent is simply going to decide to go elsewhere. We’re already seeing that.
We have the best and the brightest come to the US for their education, and then we let them stay and work here (most want to), and if all goes well, they become citizens. It is one of the smarter things we do as a country. The short-sighted action is to put obstacles in front of that.
as I said previously I am in favor of immigrants who want to assimilate and enrich their new country. Just in case it wasn’t clear. -
