• MEDIA: When the Trump magic is gone

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 13 11:44:33 2021
    Via his microblog on Jack Dorsey's website, Twitter.COM/emeriticus,
    see Pedro Gonzalez on whether Bill Stepien has alerted Donald Trump
    to Trump Disappointment Syndrome infection and recovery rates: <URL:https://spectatorworld.com/topic/trump-magic-gone-florida-president-2024/> | The Migration Policy Institute credits COVID-19 with doing more to
    | dramatically reduce legal immigration than any of the Trump
    | administration's policies. Approval of H-1B visa applications, for
    | instance, reached their highest point under Trump ahead of the
    | pandemic immigration ban. The National Bureau of Economic Research
    | found in June that while Trump 'reduced immigration among deported
    | Mexicans and at least temporarily among Central Americans, it had no
    | effect on the overall inflow of unauthorized Mexican workers.' This
    | matters because the narrative that Trump had 'solved' the
    | immigration issue was being used by the end of his presidency to
    | justify increasing the levels of seasonal guest workers and
    | rationalize amnesty.

    Did Eugene Scalia's bean counters predict that Ken Cuccinelli's
    modification of the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import pipeline
    from lottery to wage ordered queue would result in higher wages for
    legacy American proles?
