Not Those Immigrants

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : Besides, admitting high-skilled immigrants into the U.S. is very popular even among Trump supporters.
71% : It was a Christmas bummer for all sides of the triumphant MAGA movement during what should have been a moment of holiday exultation, toasting Donald Trump like George Bailey at the end of It's a Wonderful Life.
59% : "Trump would've won New Jersey."
58% : Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur, the son of Indian immigrants, and co-chair with Musk of Trump's new advisory body on government efficiency, so one can understand why he felt obliged to join the debate over high-skilled immigration and take sides with Team Elon.
44% : On the other hand, Trump owes Elon Musk for helping to get him reelected.
41% : That explains how the richest human in history came to spend Christmas this year engaged in a debate that featured observations like "why are people in India still sh-ting in the water they bathe and drink from?"It began on Sunday when Donald Trump named Sriram Krishnan as a senior White House adviser on artificial intelligence.
41% : Trump has built a coalition of hawks and doves, fat cats and working stiffs, protectionists and free-marketeers, liberals and postliberals-but I'm not sure it's possible to pitch a political tent large enough to accommodate Laura Loomerand the guy who runs Tesla and SpaceX, who was once an immigrant himself.
41% : Who's the boss?Guessing which side Trump will take in this matter is trickier than usual.
39% : Forced to choose between betraying grassroots MAGA fanatics by allowing high-skilled immigration and betraying his new admirers in the corporate-gazillionaire class by blocking it, Trump might reasonably conclude that he's better off betraying the former.
38% : "This was eye-opening," he went on to say of the right's backlash to Trump hiring Krishnan.Which is only true, of course, if you've had your eyes closed.
38% : As Musk increasingly annoys Trump by muscling into his spotlight, finds himself alienated from nativists over H-1B visas, and ends up being demagogued by suspicious populists for some of DOGE's fiscal prescriptions, there's a chance that this unlikely political marriage will end very, very badly.
36% : I wonder if it will end up coloring how Trump supporters view Musk, Ramaswamy, and their work on slashing government spending as head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
29% : The political considerations for Trump also make his preference hard to predict.
28% : Trump 2.0 will not turn rural America into South Korea.
