Reality check: Trump pledged to end the program in 2016.

Called it. When push comes to shove, Trump is always going to side with the ultra-rich.

      Followers aren’t abandoning Trump over one issue. TBH Elon will probably tamp this down by manipulating Twitter.

      But this is a preview of things to come, as Axios notes.

        He already is. He’s demonetizing any right wing chuds that oppose him on this and they’re melting down over it. It’s hilarious.

      Also me, though. I was hoping H1B visa status would die a well deserved death. It’s basically indistinguishable from indentured servitude and causes massive issues in having a free and equitable labor market.

      I don’t personally agree with any limits on immigration but if we’re going to have limits then everyone we admit should be treated no different from a citizen in most ways - they shouldn’t be tied to specific employers or anything else that will cause domestic wage deflation.

      Fuck Trump with a rusty dildo - but I was hoping he, and not Elon, came out on top in this one.
