That is so obviously something his majority-undereducated followers would disapprove of.
"They're taking our degrees!"
“Degrees” doesn’t sound as funny as “jerbs”, but it’ll do.
They're takin our learnin things!
Nice.
"Dey terk er dergers!"
Ermahgerd, dey terk er gersberms.
I can't puzzle "gersberms" out, what is it?
This guy
Ohh, the OG! I don't remember it being spelled that way, haven't seen it in a long time.
Just wait til they find out you can gain citizenship by serving in our military
Yes, but it is not automatic, despite the government literally having all the information already so they should be able to, blame Congress as usual. And quite often the way to begin that process is not mentioned to those that would qualify. It's clearly one of the many areas the military doesn't handle well.
For those that need it, a link to check eligibility and get the forms necessary:

I served with several who were trying to gain citizenship that way. I never thought to ask how they found out about it, I was always more interested in learning what they loved about here and missed from their home countries lol.
There's also the chance that they'll get deported after service because they weren't given adequate support for PTSD and/or TBI.

Disgusting as it is, all the more reason to make sure these individuals know what they qualify for and get them everything they deserve.
The poor support we have for our veterans and first responders in this country after they're out is ridiculous with the amount we pay for it. The VA isn't immune from the US healthcare bullshit lobbied for by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries to line their pockets. Remove the shit they have managed to drive into the system for decades and our current spending would go a lot further, and increasing that funding at that point would get us to a more reasonable point. Instead they're fighting about shit like whether having soldiers near burning pits of hazardous materials is bad for their health or not.
This does not benefit the average Trump voter, this only benefits the owners and investors of private healthcare businesses as it will allow them to employ filipinos and indian doctors and nurses with cheap salaries
H1B visas require you to pay the prevailing wage to candidates. These doctors are not given “cheap salaries.” And they often come with much better practical experience than some American straight out of fellowship.
That's assuming they're treated properly and not subjected to unreasonable expectations just because management knows they can hold the worker's visa over his head.
Not to mention that hiring immigrant workers means lowering the chance of hiring someone with an intimate knowledge of workers rights, making it easier to pull illegal shit without repercussions.
They're not. I do this for a living. Physicians have all the power in the relationship with private practices and health systems can't afford to lose them, so they stand pat too.
