I have mixed feelings on the visa program, which I touched on in my earlier post. Over the years, I've heard conflicting information. It would be good to have more detailed information and first hand experiences from Americans who have been impacted by it. I'd like to hear more from Musk and Vivek on how they intended it should be run and if they intend to make changes to the program.
When it comes to Mexican workers, be it in a warehouse, landscaping for construction, I've seen know how hard and skillfully they work. Word has long been out that they are paid a fraction of white workers. But, from what I've seen, that has not been the case. I will spare you the details unless you really want to know because it will be paragraphs long. For the record, I've never knowingly hired an illegal immigrant. I've never asked because it would incredibly rude. But, I've not seen any Mexican worker, which is unavoidable these days with immigration what it is, not be paid well, nor would I ever be part of it even if they quoted an unfair wage. My impression, which is just that, is that it started out as paying drastically less, but then wages came up to fair.
As far as who Trump has been friends, I don't care. My concern is performance and not watching every step with speculation. It is like watching over a cook's shoulder with every little thing instead of waiting for the dish, or, at least, just the appetizer. He disappointed me in his first term with multi issues. But, overall, I'd take it happily over what we had in the four years following. He probably did a lot of others too. I don't buy the cult like following dismissal. There are going to be nutjobs in any crowd but, I'd like to think most supporters are looking for results, regardless of who they are delivered by.
