Kicking out the people doing low-income jobs so Americans can have them, bringing in skilled labor, taking the jobs Americans might actually want because he can pay them less.

But you see this way we can use everyone around the globe to their best abilities.

We can be globe-ableists.

Glableists.

What's his version of "skilled trade"?

The funny shit is American laws about ITAR mean he'd still have some major issues with bringing in low cost foreign workers into SpaceX.

It might help him at Tesla since they don't have to pass nearly as stringent standards when hiring, AFAIK.

So he'd need to change out H!B policy and make the possibility of hostile countries getting nuke/advanced space access more likely to cut costs at his baby.

I'm sure Trump will be for it, but will the average Republican law maker?

What lawmakers are you imagining are distinct amongst republicans.

The party is in lockstep with whatever tune Trump and sycophants march them in.

Murkowski & Collins for sure, plus a few others whenever it’s convenient for them. It’s not entirely MAGA yet.

Ah good old Susan Collins. I'm sure she will be appropriately concerned while doing whatever MAGA requires of her.

This is essentially the natural progression from the now-old era of consolidating the skilled positions while paying less to the new person doing a job that used to be done by four (who all made more money.)

Paying less has always been the driving factor.
