@Cernovich Because they've weaponized ours against us.

@SCVotersCo Indeed. Bifocal failure. Thanks.

@KihneSheila I wish any/all of them had this concern on their radar, and as a priority, for suspending all foreign work visas.

[constantsc @constantsc]

Not from my research. And all visa categories are a concern of mine. Closest I've seen myself was a post from Mace about H1B getting in state tuition yea/neah on X. Here's Grok's research:
**No South Carolina Republican candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, or attorney general in the 2026 cycle are prominently running on specific visa reforms or suspensions (such as H-1B pauses/restrictions).** Their platforms overwhelmingly emphasize enforcement against *illegal* immigration, border security cooperation with federal authorities (e.g., Trump administration/ICE), E-Verify strengthening, deputizing local law enforcement (287(g)), voter roll scrubbing, and opposing sanctuary policies.

### Key SC 2026 GOP Gubernatorial Candidates (Republican primary June 9, 2026)
- **Pamela Evette** (Lt. Governor, leading in many polls): Strong focus on illegal immigration enforcement. Calls for a state detention facility ("Palmetto Pen"), partnering with ICE for detentions/deportations, 287(g) programs, and ending sanctuary policies. No notable positions on legal visa reforms like H-1B.
- **Josh Kimbrell** (State Senator): Pushed constitutional measures against illegal immigrants voting and supports expanded local-federal cooperation (e.g., 287(g)). Strong "America First" on illegal immigration; no specific legal visa platform highlighted.
- **Nancy Mace** (U.S. Rep.): Proposes strict penalties for hiring illegal immigrants (e.g., $1k/day fines, business license revocation) and broader enforcement. Has posted about H-1B in-state tuition questions but no campaign pledge for visa suspensions/reforms.
- **Alan Wilson** (Attorney General): Supports enforcing federal immigration law and law-and-order policies. No specific visa reform platform.
- **Ralph Norman** (U.S. Rep.) and **Rom Reddy** (businessman, legal immigrant from India): Focus on distinguishing legal vs. illegal immigration. Reddy highlights his own legal immigration story. General enforcement stances, no H-1B/visa suspension emphasis.

**Lt. Governor and AG races**: Limited detailed platform info available on visa issues. Many align with the gubernatorial field's heavy emphasis on illegal immigration enforcement rather than legal visa changes. Incumbent AG Wilson is running for governor, opening that seat.

South Carolina's races mirror broader GOP trends prioritizing illegal border issues amid the current national administration's policies. Legal visa topics (e.g., H-1B) are more debated at the federal level or in states like Oklahoma. Platforms can shift—check candidate sites, recent debates (e.g., via SCETV or FOX Carolina), or Ballotpedia for updates as the June primary approaches.

@KihneSheila @ellenfored Bring being a "Good Sandlapper"!

@MilHistNow Was this by chance filmed at Lake Murray, SC? We've a 'bomb island', south on the lake, nearer to the dam. Used to find frags there...

For decades, the Southern Poverty Law Center called Tea Party Patriots Action a hate group. Today a federal indictment says SPLC was the one running secret payments through shell companies. The smear machine is on trial. https://t.co/YSxdZP3SwJ

@gudanglifehack I'd add that the Google account ought to have 2FA enabled. And to be sure to get the ten 8 digit backup codes and save them securely to use in the event you have to login to Google's Find Hub.

@ChiefEngineerCE Can't believe no one got/commented for your nod to Douglas Adams. Gave me a chuckle. Thanks for your posts, I appreciate your realism of our current state of affairs, while maintaining an optimism for the future rather than being mired in pessimistic victimism.

[constantsc @constantsc]

@helloiamleonie And drift between either and actual implementation occurs, for now.

@YetAgainBrave @ShamashAran https://t.co/nWAgfFNvYM provided, what I presume to be a faithful, translation. I won't pollute your timeline with what it translated. But, it's far, far more insulting than "Stupid vile bitch".

@Howlingmutant0 Cuddle puddles exist far, far into the future! With all the things! wtf

@AnnaGorisch @SmallGov4All State nullification. Ta Da.

@DisaffectedPod @mcandrus Exactly this. Great while away/at office. WfH is precisely the reason I donated ours. Obnoxious thing when your focus isn't on actually operating that beautiful Electrolux. (Shout out to the replacement Dyson V5 though...)

[constantsc @constantsc]

@DisaffectedPod Correct. And was it ever thus, generation to gen?

[constantsc @constantsc]

@minordissent Appealing to the next wave of cannon fodder. Woulda worked if there was reciprocity, But apparently it's only one way.

[constantsc @constantsc]

@HomericFuturist Yeah. Haven't listened to most music post 2000, if at all. Have been listening to more 50s -70s or further back. And while modernity is its own burden thank goodness for Spotify, etc. on the car audio.

@walterkirn @AmericaWeek @mtaibbi Feels cyclical in an absurd way. What's the antithesis to Norwellian? Just back to Orwellian? Can there be no ground truths?

[constantsc @constantsc]

@Scearpo Hmm, never approached it from that aspect but it is spot on.
