Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD
Vance to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Sales Critter for Trump's bi-
partisan, comprehensive, merit-based, immigration reform legislative
legacy authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's
House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV:

| Instead, he and his deputies are focusing on the Indian tariffs that
| construct U.S. sales to India. The message was pushed by Fox
| Business News; which ignored immigration as it wrote: "Over the next
| few days, [Modi] is expected to offer some major concessions in an
| attempt to move toward what the White House calls a 'fair bilateral
| trading relationship.'"
| 
| The divide over India's migrants was noted by USA Today reporter,
| Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy, who wrote:
| 
||     In December, Trump's appointees to head the Department of
|| Government Efficiency, billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek
|| Ramaswamy, ignited a political firestorm when they wrote about the
|| need for foreign workers in technical fields. Musk, an immigrant
|| from South Africa, wrote on X that there was a "permanent shortage
|| of excellent engineering talent" and that it was limiting Silicon
|| Valley.
|| 
||     ...
|| 
||     A swift backlash from Trump's MAGA world, many of whom oppose
|| immigration, ensued. Trump was forced to weigh in, saying he was a
|| "believer in H-1B," having hired some workers under the program for
|| his properties. It was a different stance from his first go around
|| as president, before his recent embrace by tech titans.
| 
| Ramaswamy, however, also hid the scale of the H-1B program, which
| she described as "capped at 65,000 per year."
| 
| In reality, the H-1B program imports roughly 125,000 new contract
| workers per year and keeps a workforce of roughly 730,000 foreign
| graduates in the white-collar jobs needed by U.S. professionals.
| Roughly 500,000 of the H-1B contract workers are Indians. In 2015,
| President Barack Obama also granted work permits to the workers'
| spouses.

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's
Census.GOV head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori
Chavez-DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term
and which aspirant for WhiteHouse.GOV does Susie Wiles predict will
attempt to stump as tribune for legacy American proles?
