President-elect Donald J. Trump is receiving push back from his America First base on Truth Social, after sharing an article by the far-left Editorial Board of the Boston Globe newspaper, saying he “got it spot on when he embraced the kind of visa program used to bring highly skilled technology workers to this country”—i.e., H-1B migrants.
The Boston Globe board is packed with NeverTrumpers, far-leftists, globalists, and anti-Trump hoax peddlers.
“I lost my job to Indian Outsourcing by Verizon,” wrote one user, adding: “Tens of Millions of others have lost their jobs in a similar fashion. You are telling my Daughter that her college degree means nothing anymore because she now has to compete against 7 Billion people across the entire PLANET for a job,” he added, warning of a “bloodbath” in the midterms if the President-elect does not make a course correction, followed by another impeachment.
Another concurred, “I’m a software engineering manager at a FAANG company. There is no skill shortage whatsoever; we have an oversaturation of qualified American computer science graduates already. H1B is big tech’s way of stifling American salaries with less qualified foreign workers to help their bottom line.”
“H1B foreign tech workers have destroyed and undermined the American tech workers,” argued a third. “Over my 45 years in IT, I have seen thousands of good Americans [lose] their jobs and be forced to train their foreign imported replacements,” he continued, saying it is “a lie that there are not enough IT tech talent in America,” and, “The truth is these visas are used to control and suppress American workers and increase the profits of all companies that exploit them.”
‘YOU NEED TO HEAR US.’
Many objectors appealed to appeal to President-elect Trump’s better nature, posting replies such as, “President Trump, I voted for you three times. My family and I prayed for your safety. We supported you because you fought for us, the regular people. My humble opinion, sir, you need to hear us instead of people who benefit from cheaper foreign labor. Put Americans first, sir, just like you promised in the past.”
“[R]espectfully Sir, read all these comments,” pleaded another. “I have scrolled and scrolled and I have not read one American that supports this idea. We want #AmericaFirst #AmericansFirst,” they added.
Many highlighted President-elect Trump’s past opposition to the H-1B visa, saying, “You got it right the first time,” and sharing screenshots of his previous statements on the issue.
BOSTON GLOBE BOARD.
Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, noted that the Boston Globe‘s editorial board, which is pushing Trump to go with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on the H-1B debate, is “one of the most far left, America-hating institutions in the country.”
“They endorsed Kamala, now they’re endorsing the H1-Bs,” he stressed.
The board is led by James Dao, who has peddled a number of hoaxes against Trump, including but not limited to the Russia hoax. He is supported by Marjorie Pritchard, a COVID and impeachment hoax peddler, as well as MSNBC contributor Kimberly Atkins Stohr.
The board features another dozen or so opinion writers, all but one of them being out-and-out leftists.
