I am not impressed at all. They start these businesses and then only hire their own. How do you think that would fly if they were White or non-immigrant? How about Chobani Yogurt who imports refugees from the Middle East, not the local population? Chobani is also a gross polluter of the Snake River. Diversity is a divider.

isnt that ironic? they come in demanding diversity and not to be discriminated against, but in most of the businesses they establish, they only hire people from their own culture/country. isn't it discriminatory against the host citizens of different nationality/race? the tech bodyshoppers are the ones that abuse this so much. they help clog up a lot of the allotted visas for h1.

When you enter Japan the immigration takes your photo and finger print of your index finger on each hand. The Japanese don't play games. You get caught overstaying your visa and you're gone for a long time.
Legal immigrants to the US also have their photos and fingerprints taken at the point of entry.

I'm certain that we could have the same strict treatment of overstays here if we had the manpower. But we don't. Mostly because people don't want to pay higher taxes to fund an agency that size, and partly because there aren't enough people willing to do the kind of work involved for the low pay involved. And there are also plenty of Americans who are all too happy to take advantage of the fact that illegals are desperate and can be used and abused.

They hire university students, too. It's better than being unemployed, like so many in Europe are.

Where is Chobani yogurt made? Trump imports Romanians instead of hiring the local population, and he won the Presidency. That's what people voted for.

Chobani operates a very large manufacturing plant in Twin Falls, Idaho. The cows graze near the Snake River and cow manure ends up in that river and tributaries that all eventually flow into the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also, lots of feed for the cows is grown along the Snake and runoff also pollutes. I voted for neither.

but were those immigrants forced to come here? or even asked? they WANTED to come here. if they can't come here with legitimate qualifications, why should they demand to get prioritized?

and what the US citizens voted for is not trump himself, but a push-back against all the ideologies/practices of the Democrats.

tell that to your FELLOW US citizens as i'm not a US citizen yet, so i have no voting rights. but i do see that people were really desperate at changing the political environment to the point of having to vote for someone like trump who only has business experience to bring to the game. a not so clean one either. he came from a liberal state, so even if he represented the republicans, who knows when he'll do a 180 turn.

if you really wanted your FELLOW US citizens to vote for hillary, then you should've advocated for her harder.
