For the fourth time in about a month, Trump suggested increasing legal immigration levels. With Apple CEO Tim Cook sitting next to him at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he not only wanted more legal immigration but that companies needed an expansion of new arrivals to grow their business.
“We’re going to have a lot of people coming into the country. We want a lot of people coming in. And we need it,” Trump said:
"It’s not a question of do we want more immigration, these folks are going to have to sort of not expand too much. And if we tell them … these are very ambitious people around this table. They don’t like the concept of not expanding. We want to have the companies grow and the only way they’re going to grow is if we give them the workers and the only way we’re going to have the workers is to do exactly what we’re doing."
The comments are a direct rebuttal of the president’s commitments in 2015, 2016, and 2017, where he vowed to reduce overall legal immigration levels to boost the wages of U.S. workers and reduce the displacement of America’s working and middle class.
In 2017, for instance, Trump touted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) RAISE Act legislation, which would have cut legal immigration down to about 500,000 arrivals a year rather than the current admission of more than one million legal immigrants annually who compete against working-class Americans for jobs.
Trump, at the time, said legal immigration levels needed to be trimmed to “reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars,” arguing that the current importation of more than a million legal immigrants every year “has placed substantial pressure on American workers, taxpayers, and community resources.”

I guess it has gotten too obvious to ignore even in the media. I think this year is going to get interesting.

Trump's biggest enemies are going to be the people he betrays, and I'm not talking about the retarded MAGAniggers who would suck shit off his dick. Good luck after you leave office dickhead.

To be fair, if they didn't Trump would drone them for being homophobes.

His fucking jew daughter is on the fucking board of commerce? Jesus fucking christ what is with this faggot mega jew and pushing his kike kids into every fucking thing to ruin it

The only "cope" I can think of is that he's using the jew immunity to do some good old nepotism and eventually wipe every other bloodline from the race.
Trump's a MacLeod iirc, so there might be something worthy to investigate about.
The default answer is that he's a kike lover.

does anyone have a decent transcript of this? All I could found is some garbage machine transcription at https:// newsdaily.today/lou-dobbs-tom-donohue-is-an-enemy-of-trump/
Not much reporting on this. All I can find quoting some of it is https:// thehill.com/homenews/media/432993-lou-dobbs-trump-white-house-has-lost-its-way and https:// www.infowars.com/lou-dobbs-trumps-disastrous-policy-turn-on-importing-foreign-workers-is-heartbreaking/
We need to get this circulated. Trump has listened to Dobbs' criticism before, perhaps we can pull him back to the edge if other outlets pick this up. It was only said last night, we must keep it relevant.
