    Don’t worry!  He had an MRI and here were the results.

    TRUMP: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well. And they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen. Now, the other thing I took is I took, as you know, an advanced, very advanced test on mental acuity, because I think a president should have to do that. And as you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score.

    “The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor,” the president continued.

    Can't say this crew doesn't have a favorite scapegoat.  Immigrants appear to be the blame for all of our problems.  Them, and Hunter Biden.

    Immigrants is code for “non-white” also.

    It is kind of you to use the term immigrant instead of the administration’s preferred “illegals”.

    Well of late they've been targeting legal immigrants as well.  See the recent focus on H1Bs.

    Wish they could make up their mind.  The King said last week there were not enough skilled workers in the USA.  H1Bs were to help solve that.

    I have said before. If you need to import critical talent, make it contingent upon them wishing to become US citizens. Pay them the going rate for US citizens in that field to avoid driving wages down . Limit their chain migration to a wife(or future wife) and any existing children. At the end of a certain number of years you have a productive citizen who appreciates it more than most born here. 
    Much better than training them and then that talent developing competing companies overseas.

    Do you have any sense of what percentage of people brought into the US on H1Bs would like to remain here and become citizens?  Because my estimate would be that it’s well above 95.

    All but 2 people I know with H1Bs don’t even want to go back to their originating country for vacation.  They actively avoid it and don’t even like going back for work.

    The 2 stood out because it was strange for them to want to go back were Chinese.

    Yes I am aware of that. I am saying to make it a two way street. Educated immigrants with a work drive and something to gain from it are a blessing to our nation. Why would we want to train them up and boot them back to frenemy states? Did you miss my saying to pay them the full prevailing wage or that their work here should be a pathway to citizenship? Try reading without an inherent bias.

    I was genuinely simply trying to understand what you were suggesting.  It seemed odd to me to make desire to become a US citizen a contingency when it's really not required.

    Maybe it should be a requirement . It’s the difference between shackling up and a good marriage. Both sides have skin in the game and a desire for the best for our country.

    I would support an H1B visa being a direct pathway to citizenship.

    Fortunately that is already done.  Companies are investing on these folks and as such many do their own checks in addition to the government checks.

    AI tends to side with trump. wonder if AI knows which side of its bread is buttered =)

    In the United States, acts like "inciting the military to be traitors" would likely fall under serious federal crimes such as
    treason, seditious conspiracy, or violations of the Espionage Act, rather than being a specific, standalone offense with that exact phrasing.

    Reminding soldiers they are not required to follow illegal orders is not inciting anything.

    ordering soldiers onto US soil and to raise arms against US citizens seems a might more troubling to me.
