Eight foreign visas a year per company he is a majority owner in. Do the math... That 1100 number goes all the way back to 2000 and it included 9 companies.

8...

Eight...

What comes between 7 and 9?

What's 2 x 4?

I'm no Trump fan either. I think he's probably the most liberal (American liberal so more totalitarian-like lord over you kinda liberal, you know) out of all of them.

There is nothing wrong with trading with China. Sending jobs there is another matter.

Mexicans in factories today make 2 dollars a hour.. not much change and the giant sucking sound continues.. plus the Mexicans found out they can come over here , have babies born here, get a list of free stuff from our stupid government..


then the mexican workers found out they can work here get paid 10 to 20 dollars an hour, their women get free stuff and they can keep their paychecks for extra spending money.. and no taxes paid, they work under the table for a few dollars less then Americans.. no wonder they are streaming over the border.


And both sides of the aisle don't care while our country is going broke.. soon no welfare, no social security , no safety net for Americans.. we are so in debt, no one will want to loan us any more money..the end will come soon.

But this is Mexico we're talking about. Another 3rd world country that America cannot compete with for some reason. Boo hoo....

Did you guys even listen to the UTX call? This is directly related to trade with China. Americans don't want Air Conditioners made in the United States.

I'm tired of hearing this blame US BS, Mexico's problems need to be handled by Mexico's leaders.

Those corrupt/inept Mexican leaders that have Obama's lips constantly on their a$***. When are they EVER held accountable by this crappy Obama adm. ?

Add to that, Chinese make about a dollar an hour.
The one thing missing with China Workers unlike us, is they have no worker rights. In Communism, you work and you move when they tell you to move after they bull doze your home.

The corporate lobbyists responsible for these trade policies along with their puppet politicians should be brought up on charges for human rights abuses.
