@elonmusk@epaleezeldin Elon I know it's against your principles, but why don't you get with Lee and drop a couple billion on some sweet crude refineries? Put one in Texas, one in Nevada and one in South Carolina. We are the greatest country on Earth and this is ridiculous.
Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this.
Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts.
It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter.
Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so.
Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa.
Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent.
JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.
๐๐บ๐ธ MY PRAYER FOR KEN PAXTON AND THE STATE OF TEXAS! โ๏ธ๐ฅ
I am praying for Ken Paxton, for Texas, and for the Church of Texas to ARISE in this critical hour!
Lord, awaken Your Church! Raise up bold, uncompromising believers who will stand for biblical truth, righteousness, and religious liberty. Give Christians discernment, courage, and the conviction to engage in the public square rather than remain silent.
I pray that deception would be exposed, that truth would prevail, and that Texas would remain a state where faith, freedom, and biblical convictions can be expressed without fear.
CHURCH OF TEXAS, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP! ๐ฅ
We must pray, stand for our convictions, and make our voices heard. Let every candidate be examined by their words, policies, and record, and let truth prevail at the ballot box.
๐ Lord, give Texas wisdom. Strengthen Your people. Let righteousness and truth guide this election!
TEXAS, THE CHURCH MUST ARISE! ๐บ๐ธโ๏ธ

You can disagree with Rep. Ilhan Omar on every vote she's ever cast and still see that something is very wrong here.
Federal agents raided a sitting member of Congress's home and are now working to strip her citizenship, just two weeks before Americans head to the polls.
The timing speaks for itself.
When an administration turns law enforcement against political opponents in the middle of an election, every citizen should be worried, regardless of party.
We need a strong, secure immigration system that enforces the law fairly and keeps politics far away from it.

Raise kids! The nonsense that these young parents have been taught about raising children from the so-called psychology tract is absolutely ridiculous.
I guess you can't see what a charlatan is. You might want to open your eyes and look how he's changed what he says over and over again. How can you trust anybody like that? You can't. don't be a fool
I genuinely don't understand the hostility toward James Talarico. You can disagree with his theology, his politics, or both. But he consistently comes across as someone trying to treat others with kindness and dignity. Why has that become so controversial?
@tgiovanetti@StephenPaulsen7 You're so morally bankrupt that I rebuke you in the name of the Lord. That your soul rests in the lake of fire and that you do not see truth in the light.
I don't know if it was a fluke or it's fact, but the offense seem to jive a lot better when Drew was Qbing. And I'm sick of hearing the statement. he was a super bowl quarterback about Sam. The MVP of that game was not the QB it was a running back thats no longer on the team.
Moran Stella Yanai delivered the most persuasive confrontation to UCLA student Aidan Doyle in 2024, whose Instagram account was a Petri dish of Palestinian propaganda at the time.
He has been quiet ever since. Did she change his mind?
