Trump was attempting to fix the broken H1-B Visa system, raising the wages that one must earn which is only a start. H1-B Visa, by law, is only for those jobs

Trump was attempting to fix the broken H1-B Visa system, raising the wages that one must earn which is only a start. H1-B Visa, by law, is only for those jobs where there are no Americans to fill the role, eg. theoretical physicist PhD with masters in data science. But firms and hospitals use this to get foreigners at cheaper wages to supplant Americans from their jobs from programmers to doctors (MDs). Biden, Schumer, Harris, all wish to make the job market and wages worse for American STEM workers/doctors (MDs). During the 2016 primaries, when Disney CEO Bob Iger replaced about 200 American STEM workers with H1-B Visa abuse replacements, it was Trump and Sanders who complained vociferously about the illegal use of H1-B, which the Obama DOJ did nothing about, perhaps because Clinton received a $100,000 donation from the same Bob Iger for the Hilary Victory Fund. Trump recently fired the CEO of the federal TVA for attempting to replace 200 American STEM workers H1-B Visa abuse foreigners and then made an exec order to prohibit any federal agency from doing so. Biden, Schumer want to increase the number of H1-B Visas (Schumer wants to triple them). VP (and former Sen Harris) was Democratic sponsor of senate bill S.386 which seeks to double the number of Indians who get green cards. The moves of Trump helps Americans. The moves of Biden, Schumer, Harris harms Americans. Those are the facts, irrefutable, as have been presented above. So, ask yourself, do I want an American President that give in to donors like Bob Iger and brings more foreigners into the country or do I want someone like Trump, who cannot be bribed and does what is best for Americans and not foreigners.

You do realize that once those people get green cards, they are a good ways down the path toward being American, right? Immigration is economically very good for the US, as well.

  Just pass a law making everyone legally black, and you've just achieved racial justice, too right?

  By law, H1-B (which leads to the green card) can only be given for jobs for which they cannot find an American to do the job, regardless of salary. There are plenty of Americans that can program computers, yet they are hiring a lot of people with H1-B, not because of special skills which is the intent of the law, but simply because they can program computers.

I was downvoted for providing facts. Are people against American Presidents, Senators, and House members putting the people who voted them into office ahead of the foreigners which firms want to hire because it costs them lower salaries? American politicians should serve Americans, not foreigners.

None of this things matters, or will bring people together. These are minor issues compare to those who living on minimum wages, and without health insurance. You should check all the red counties that voted for Trump and education level plus medium income. Compare that to the blue counties.

  At least one reason why there’s division is because the left keeps pointing at education, and that Trumps supporters “lack any”. Regardless of the facts, it’s insulting. You are also implying that you go to school and learn to be liberal. Brainwashed is another word for this which is considered conspiracy theory. You’re also assuming that the entirety of present company is “educated”. Assuming this means college degree, this is most definitely not true on HN. So, to what benefit do you or anybody have to point out the education level of any voter?

  > None of this things matters, or will bring people together. These are minor issues Ok, I'm about as far from a Trump supporter as one can get, but think about how this comment sounds to people on the other side. You just outright dismissed a fairly big topic that this person views as important.
