Trump Stands Up for U.S. Workers, Americans Support the President

President Trump's executive order means that, regardless of an American worker's skill level, he'll have a better chance of getting hired.

As a result, about 70% of Silicon Valley tech workers are foreign-born and doing white-collar jobs that Americans once held.

Pausing the H-2B visa represents a great chance for lower-skilled workers to get back to work.

Even the anti-Trump, expansionist New York Times conceded that guest workers are easily exploited and that employers' worker shortage claims don't stand up.

The Economic Policy Institute, a liberal-leaning, pro-immigration, Washington D.C. think tank, wrote that hundreds of thousands of workers arrive in the U. S. annually on J-1 visas without adequate protections, and thereby put at a disadvantage the countless U.S. workers struggling to find jobs in the same industries.

While temporarily restricting immigration is unpopular with Fortune 500 companies and the elite class, Americans support President Trump's executive order.

With his executive order, President Trump made about 525,000 jobs available so that the millions of unemployed Americans will have a better opportunity to return to the payroll and earn a fair wage to support their families.
