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

      You’d think, but their minds are like silly putty. If Trump does it, it’s good. End of “thought” process.

        Nope. This is the one issue that Treason Trump’s original supporters really do care about. It’s right there in his core propaganda rhetoric. It’s exactly how he painted other politicians as “anti-establishment” and their much more milder immigration policies made them “globalists”. Even hard core Nazi Steve Bannon criticizes Trump on this.

        The critical issue is whether they will learn about this or not.

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

        Literally the plan.

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

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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”.
