politics and politicians Title: Trump: I’m ‘Changing’ and ‘Softening’ My Position on Visas, ‘We Need Highly Skilled People In This Country’ Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that he was “changing” and “softening” the visa position in his immigration platform because “We need highly skilled people in this country” including “in Silicon Valley” during Thursday’s GOP presidential debate on the Fox News Channel on Thursday. Trump was asked by moderator Megyn Kelly,” Mr. Trump, your campaign website to this day, argues that more visas for highly skilled workers would ‘decimate’ American workers. However, at the CNBC debate, you spoke enthusiastically in favor of these visas, so which is it?” He responded, “I’m changing. We need highly skilled people in this country. And if we can’t do it, we’ll get them in. But — and we do need, in Silicon Valley. We absolutely have to have, — so we do need highly skilled. And one of the biggest problems we have, is people go to the best colleges, they’ll go to Harvard, they’ll go to Stanford, they’ll go to Wharton, as soon as they’re finished, they get shoved out. They go — they want to stay in this country. They want to stay here desperately. They’re not able to stay here. For that purpose, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brain power in this country.” He was then asked, “You are abandoning the position on your website?” He responded, “I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position, because we have to have talented people in this country.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 20. He was then asked, “You are abandoning the position on your website?” He responded, “I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position, because we have to have talented people in this country.” Trump fell on his ass and lost the debate. What he should of answered is that we need to develop talented people in this country and told them how to do it. We need fewer basket weavers, lawyers, and social agitators graduating from our defunct colleges and more engineers and industrialists. But he hasn't thought it through far enough.

Trump also should have said that, once President, he would limit the federal student loan program only to those seeking a career in engineering or any of the other sciences. If you want to get a degree in Queer Studies, you find a way to pay for it.
#19. To: misterwhite (#3) I agree. And in the meantime, what, we do without? Hire the Americans you laid off in order to replace them with third rate foreign dumb-asses who work cheap.
#20. To: rlk (#19) "... who work cheap." Seems to me the solution is to eliminate the wage disparity.
