Not so good news from the White House

President Trump unveiled his new plan for “legal” immigration recently.

I’ll give you the bad news first – it violates each and every campaign promise he made to us regarding fighting for the rights of US tech workers. Here is an excellent write-up from US Techworkers that outlines how this plan will put even more of us CT IT workers into the unemployment line.

Trump’s shift in policy is like a knife through the heart to all of us who thought he could help our movement. But the good news in all of this is that we don’t have to carry the burden of defending him from now on. I’m so glad that’s over!!

Granted, he’s doing a lot of interesting things (including fighting the Chinese for parity on international tariffs on trade) but his campaign for re-election is essentially doomed. The so-called “deplorables” (i.e., those that have been left behind by the globalist elite who ship our jobs offshore) were the ones that put him into office. And now he is turning his back on them.

US Techworkers did an excellent job at documenting his epic flip-flop …

The news got worse Friday, when USCIS Director Francis Cissna resigned. He had a great record in fighting for the rights of American IT workers. But, in the end, he was forced out.

My only question is this: What happened?

It almost seems like there is no one left to defend American workers? In the 1960s, we ramped up our education systems and aligned our public policy to create millions of scientists, engineers and mathematicians. We won the race to the moon. We created the Internet revolution. We created the smallest, fastest microprocessors. We mapped the human genome.

But now, instead of educating Americans to do this fascinating work, we have become addicted to bringing in people from other countries to do this work for us.

What will become of the next generation? What are they supposed to do for their life’s work?

We live in scary times – but glimmers of hope do appear from time to time.

But it is becoming very clear that we need to take personal action – and not rely on the actions of others. This is a battle that’s going to be won over time, with consistent and deliberate action.

I challenge all of you to please follow the advice given by the speakers at our January rally. 1) Get out and speak to your local elected officials. 2) Volunteer in your community … and share the skills and knowledge you have with the youth in your community. 3) Support the groups that are fighting for you.

This is the only real way things are going to change.
