My immigrants

 President-elect Donald Trump’s attempt to keep the Silicon Valley tech moguls in a coalition with his more rabid anti-immigrant supporters hit a snag this week after he named Indian-born venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan to a top artificial intelligence policy position in his upcoming administration. Far-right social media influencer and Trump ally Laura Loomer said Krishnan’s wish for more H-1B visas for "high-skilled" foreign workers is “in direct opposition” to Trump’s agenda. (MSNBC)

 

What to do, what to do? OY, Oh My God, Goodness Gracious. Bless Your Heart!

 

Immigrants, so it seems with those pesky hypocrite Republicans, is not a black or white issue, nor, it seems, is it an easy brown or white decision? Are smart immigrants good immigrants, bright and sound, for the bottom-line profit of corporations?  Are smart immigrants better for this nation than dumber Americans? And if we let more smart immigrants enter this nation, what can we offer those dumber Americans to do for employment, work the fields, harvest the crops, mow our lawns?

 

What it always end up being regarding immigrants is how permitting them entry into this nation plays into the personal and pitiful political ambitions of the profiteers of Capitalism.
