‘You Ran On America First’: Laura Ingraham Grills Trump Over Support For Importing H-1B Foreign Labor

President Trump defended abandoning his America First policies on restricting cheap foreign labor during an interview with Laura Ingraham on Friday by insisting foreign companies who ’ ve moved factories to America “ can ’ t get labor.
” INGRAHAM : Not in the high-tech industry .
We are seeing a plateauing of wages .
INGRAHAM : If they couldn ’ t get labor , wages would be going up .
But wages aren ’ t going up .
TRUMP : So is the great Lou Dobbs .
Lou Dobbs is concerned , too .
But I ’ ll say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I am demanding that Japan and all these countries that have these massive , we have trade deficits like nobody has ever seen before .
I said you have to open up .
I call Prime Minister Abe , he ’ s a friend of mine .
I say Shinzo , you have got to open up more plants in the United States .
And they tell me , we want to do it , we want to do it .
They start opening .
They can ’ t get labor .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ could just say don ’ t open up — INGRAHAM : But we don ’ t have a tight labor market .
If we had a tight labor market , we ’ d be seeing real increases in wages .
I hear that your team is planning on advocating more foreign workers coming in for some of these high-tech companies .
I ’ m very concerned about that , as are a lot of your supporters .
INGRAHAM : Mr. President when you look at the trajectory of your administration , huge progress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with our political foes , ISIS , incredible deregulation , judges , you ’ ve done a lot .
On the economy today , we found out that still added 146,000 jobs , unemployment historically low at 3.5 percent .
But we do have a little bit of a stall out on wage growth , which you ran on , and we ’ ve seen some , 2.9 percent last year , 0.1 percent over the last month .
“ It was the most humiliating & demoralizing thing I ’ ve ever gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about how Big Business replaced them with cheap foreign labor using the H1B Visa program .
TRUMP : It went up three percent and it went up 2.9 percent .
In the last two year , wages have gone up more than they have 25 years .
INGRAHAM : But for Google , why reward Google ?
Google is working against you in the campaign .
TRUMP : I don ’ t want to reward Google .
I ’ m not a fan .
I ’ m not a fan of Google .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ skilled workers , low paid workers .
TRUMP : I ’ m not a fan of Google .
I ’ m a fan of great companies , OK. INGRAHAM : You did not run on bringing more foreign workers into the United States .

The Americans , it ’ s humiliating for an American worked for a company for 30 years , now is told you have to train your foreign replacement , he ’ s going to live in Korea , and you ’ re going to pay him 20 percent .
TRUMP : No , no , that ’ s different .
I would never do that .

By the way we won the funding for the wall, and the wall has been built anyway because I was taking it out of the military and everything else. And now it’s easier. We need people come. I got Foxconn to go into Wisconsin. They have to get people.

TRUMP: Laura, I have so many people coming into this country, you’re not going to have to worry about it. It’s always going to be a shortage. If somebody smart sitting in this position, we have so many companies coming in from Japan. Japan is doing many car companies. China now is going to start building a lot of things. They haven’t been doing it too much. We have so many companies wanting to come in, and they don’t have the labor. But they’re coming in.
As Progressives for Immigration Reform revealed last week, Donald Trump Jr echoed Trump’s push to import foreign labor in his book “Triggered” by bashing American college students and singing the praises of H-1Bs as the world’s “best and brightest.”.
In his new book “Triggered”, @DonaldJTrumpJr pushes the trope that American kids are all dumb & in debt because they got a Phd. in “basket weaving” while maintaining that H-1B visa workers all high-skilled “best & brightest”, & wants MORE to come. pic.twitter.com/zrr1JrjkDW — U.S. Tech Workers (@USTechWorkers) January 8, 2020
Ivanka has also been out shilling for the mass importation of cheap foreign labor.
And at CES today, @IvankaTrump also pushing the same tropes & thinks all international students that study in the United States should be given green cards because they are all high-skilled & “start companies”. Indian media is rejoicing: https://t.co/ef9Za8aSEd — U.S. Tech Workers (@USTechWorkers) January 8, 2020
Last year, Trump said he wanted a pathway to citizenship for “H1-B [sic] holders.”
H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship.

newswars--2020-01-13--Why Are Volcanoes All Over The Globe Suddenly Shooting Giant Clouds Of Ash Miles Into The Air?

There certainly hasn ’ t been a lack of seismic activity so far in 2020 .
Just a few days ago , I wrote about the horrific earthquake swarm that Puerto Rico is currently experiencing .
More than 1,000 earthquakes have rattled Puerto Rico so far , and as you will see below , it was just hit by another very large earthquake .
But right now volcanic eruptions have taken center stage .
In particular , a massive eruption in the Philippines is making headlines all over the world , but what most people don ’ t realize is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their tops in spectacular fashion within the past week .
Suddenly , volcanoes all over the globe are shooting giant clouds of ash miles into the air , and this is greatly puzzling many of the experts .
Regardless of what the dunces televising from their Hollyweird bubble claim , the current fires in Australia and recently in California aren ’ t simply a result of their UN Agenda 2030 directed Greta Thunberg promoted propaganda .
Let ’ s review what we have witnessed over the past 7 days .
Last Tuesday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alaska shot hot ash 25,000 feet into the air… There are 5280 feet in a mile , and so we are talking about an ash cloud nearly 5 miles high .
Then on Thursday , Mt .
Popocatepetl in Mexico shot hot ash nearly 4 miles into the sky… Those that follow my work on a regular basis already know that I am deeply concerned about Mt .
Popocatepetl .
It has the potential to create the worst natural disaster in the modern history of North America , because it is quite close @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the potential threat that Mt .
Popocatepetl poses comes from one of my previous articles… Approximately 26 million people live within 60 miles of Popocatepetl ’ s crater , and so we are talking about the potential for death and destruction on a scale that is difficult to imagine .
In ancient times , Mt .
Popocatepetl buried entire Aztec cities in super-heated mud , but then it went to sleep for about 1,000 years .
Unfortunately for us , it started waking up again in the 1990s , and now this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen it ever since the volcano originally reawakened .
Let us hope that Mt .
Popocatepetl settles down , because the death and destruction that a catastrophic eruption would cause would be off the charts .
Meanwhile , down in South America the Sabancaya volcano in Peru just shot a plume of volcanic ash approximately 24,000 feet into the air… But hardly anyone is paying any attention to what just took place in Peru because of what just happened in the Philippines .
On Sunday , Taal volcano roared to life , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sent “ steam , ash and pebbles up to 10 to 15 kilometers ( 6 to 9 miles ) into the sky ” .
Can you imagine that ?
According to USA Today , ash has already reached Manila , and “ red-hot lava ” has started gushing out of the volcano… Unfortunately , authorities are warning that the worst may still be yet to come .
In fact , they are telling us that a “ hazardous explosive eruption ” could literally happen at any moment… Meanwhile , we continue to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After already experiencing more than 1,000 earthquakes since the beginning of 2020 , Puerto Rico was hit by a magnitude 5.9 quake on Saturday… For quite a while , I have been warning that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable and that the shaking is only going to get worse .
I know that a lot of people didn ’ t believe me at first , and that is okay .
After the events of the last few days , perhaps a few more people will start to understand what is going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and volcanic eruptions , but for most of our lives we have been able to assume that our planet is generally stable .
Unfortunately , that is no longer a safe assumption .
We have entered a period of time when all of the old assumptions will no longer apply , and everything that can be shaken will be shaken .

There certainly hasn’t been a lack of seismic activity so far in 2020.
Just a few days ago, I wrote about the horrific earthquake swarm that Puerto Rico is currently experiencing.
More than 1,000 earthquakes have rattled Puerto Rico so far, and as you will see below, it was just hit by another very large earthquake.
But right now volcanic eruptions have taken center stage.
In particular, a massive eruption in the Philippines is making headlines all over the world, but what most people don’t realize is that several other volcanoes have also blown their tops in spectacular fashion within the past week.
Suddenly, volcanoes all over the globe are shooting giant clouds of ash miles into the air, and this is greatly puzzling many of the experts.
Regardless of what the dunces televising from their Hollyweird bubble claim, the current fires in Australia and recently in California aren’t simply a result of their UN Agenda 2030 directed Greta Thunberg promoted propaganda.
Let’s review what we have witnessed over the past 7 days.
Last Tuesday, one of the most important volcanoes in Alaska shot hot ash 25,000 feet into the air…
Shishaldin Volcano erupted at 5 a.m. Tuesday, the Alaska Volcano Observatory announced, and sent up an initial ash cloud to 19,000 feet. Clouds initially obscured the mountain, but satellite imagery confirmed the ash cloud, U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Hans Schwaiger said. Seismicity diminished for a few hours, but it then increased again. During the increase, the volcano spewed an ash cloud to 25,000 feet, the observatory announced. The later eruption increased the volume of ash.
There are 5280 feet in a mile, and so we are talking about an ash cloud nearly 5 miles high.
Then on Thursday, Mt. Popocatepetl in Mexico shot hot ash nearly 4 miles into the sky…
Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano burst to life on Thursday in a spectacular gush of lava and clouds of ash that hurled incandescent rock about 20,000 feet into the sky. The dramatic explosion of the active stratovolcano, a little over 40 miles southeast of Mexico City, was captured on video by Mexico’s National Center for Disaster Prevention, CENAPRED.
Those that follow my work on a regular basis already know that I am deeply concerned about Mt. Popocatepetl. It has the potential to create the worst natural disaster in the modern history of North America, because it is quite close to Mexico City. The following summary of the potential threat that Mt. Popocatepetl poses comes from one of my previous articles…
Approximately 26 million people live within 60 miles of Popocatepetl’s crater, and so we are talking about the potential for death and destruction on a scale that is difficult to imagine. In ancient times, Mt. Popocatepetl buried entire Aztec cities in super-heated mud, but then it went to sleep for about 1,000 years. Unfortunately for us, it started waking up again in the 1990s, and now this is the most active that we have seen it ever since the volcano originally reawakened.
Let us hope that Mt. Popocatepetl settles down, because the death and destruction that a catastrophic eruption would cause would be off the charts.
Meanwhile, down in South America the Sabancaya volcano in Peru just shot a plume of volcanic ash approximately 24,000 feet into the air…
Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Buenos Aires warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 24000 ft (7300 m) altitude or flight level 240 and is moving at 15 kts in S direction.
But hardly anyone is paying any attention to what just took place in Peru because of what just happened in the Philippines.
On Sunday, Taal volcano roared to life, and it is being reported that the eruption sent “steam, ash and pebbles up to 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 miles) into the sky”.
Can you imagine that?
According to USA Today, ash has already reached Manila, and “red-hot lava” has started gushing out of the volcano…
Red-hot lava gushed from of a Philippine volcano on Monday after a sudden eruption of ash and steam that forced villagers to flee and shut down Manila’s international airport, offices and schools. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage from Taal volcano’s eruption south of the capital that began Sunday. But clouds of ash blew more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) north, reaching the bustling capital, Manila, and forcing the shutdown of the country’s main airport with more than 240 international and domestic flights cancelled so far.
Unfortunately, authorities are warning that the worst may still be yet to come.
In fact, they are telling us that a “hazardous explosive eruption” could literally happen at any moment…
“The earthquakes were strong, and it felt like there was a monster coming out” as in the movies, Cookie Siscar, who had left the area and was relaying a report from her husband, Emer, a poultry farmer, told the Times. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology increased its threat level for Taal Volcano to four out of five, saying that a “hazardous explosive eruption” could happen at any minute
Meanwhile, we continue to see unusual earthquake activity all over the globe.
After already experiencing more than 1,000 earthquakes since the beginning of 2020, Puerto Rico was hit by a magnitude 5.9 quake on Saturday…
A magnitude 5.9 quake shook Puerto Rico on Saturday, causing further damage along the island’s southern coast, where previous recent quakes have toppled homes and schools. The U.S. Geological Survey said the 8:54 a.m. (1254 GMT) quake hit 8 miles (13 kilometers) southeast of Guanica at a shallow depth of 3 miles (5 kilometers).
For quite a while, I have been warning that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable and that the shaking is only going to get worse.
I know that a lot of people didn’t believe me at first, and that is okay.
After the events of the last few days, perhaps a few more people will start to understand what is going on.
There have always been earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but for most of our lives we have been able to assume that our planet is generally stable.
Unfortunately, that is no longer a safe assumption.
We have entered a period of time when all of the old assumptions will no longer apply, and everything that can be shaken will be shaken.

newswars--2020-01-14--Norway Sees Spike in Young Girls Up for Sex Change

The number of young girls who are up for sex change has exploded over the past decade , and many of those who came out as trans have been getting second thoughts , national broadcaster NRK reported .
While the number of girls undergoing gender reassignment at the National Hospital has risen almost 13-fold , doctors warn of a number of “ regretters ” who are left to deal with irreversible treatment due to problems that may have only been temporary .
This marks a change of pattern in the transgender community .
Previously , men and boys used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but now the tables have turned .
In 2012 , only 11 girls were referred to the National Hospital for gender reassignment .
By 2018 , their number had risen to 154 .
On Dec. 2nd and 3rd , the U.N. funded WHO held a Global Vaccine Safety Summit where scientists admitted vaccines are killing people , adjuvants in the vaccines are part of the problem , and that they have not conducted adequate safety studies .
This phenomenon was also witnessed in Norway ’ s neighbouring countries Sweden and Finland , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , such as the Netherlands , the UK and the US ; it has left doctors scratching their heads .
“ We have no idea why this is happening , ” Anne Wæhre , senior physician at the National Hospital told NRK .
According to Wæhre , the patients can be divided into several categories .
Some have rejected their biological gender since childhood and adolescence .
Of those who experience discomfort with their gender as teenagers , more than half struggle with serious mental disorders , she stressed .
Additionally an increasing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the autism spectrum .
However , another group has been rising in numbers in recent years .
“ Many of those who have applied to us in recent years are girls who have always felt a little different , a little outside of the rest .
When puberty comes , they often fail to fit in .
After that , they get a very strong discomfort associated with their breasts and all the visible female features .
Soon afterwards they want to change their gender .
Then they are referred to us , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of long-term follow-up research on the girls , who have applied for a gender change since 2012 and been warned of the risks of undergoing irreversible treatment due to problems that may be only temporarily .
According to NRK , many Norwegian girls have regretted having come out as transgender .
All of the girls have strong anxiety , and they call it “ social suicide ” to share their experiences publicly .
They are afraid their stories will be seen as devastating to the trans community and its narrative .
Aleksander @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Gender Inclusion ( PKI ) suggested that “ regretters ” rarely get room to tell their stories in today ’ s debate climate .
According to Tone Maria Hansen and Mikael Scott Bjerkeli of the Harry Benjamin Resource Centre in Oslo , the research that suggests a low percentage of “ regretters ” doesn ’ t take into account the explosive increase in recent years .
According to them , a thorough individual approach should be in place to avoid people being misdiagnosed .
“ These are not trifles .
We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parts in young people .
Then we must be sure that it is right , ” Tone Maria Hansen said .
According to them , an increasing number of young people apply for gender change on the wrong terms .
“ We are afraid that there is a contagious effect on social media , where slightly nuanced images and hashtags fail to tell a true picture of what it means to switch gender , ” Mikael Scott Bjerkeli said , citing “ echo chambers ” with no possibility for a critical conversation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Contrary to previous research stressing the benefits of changing one ’ s gender , a recent Finnish study pointed out that this is not necessarily the case for young patients aged 13 to 18 .
“ The common belief that when the patient struggling with mental disorders get the right sex , they will feel good about themselves .
However , the majority of those who start taking hormones before they turn 18 in Finland find no mental relief in treatment .
A small group is also feeling worse about themselves , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kaltiala , a youth psychiatrist at Tampere University Hospital told NRK .
Earlier , a Swedish survey indicated that 2.2 percent of patients had their gender correction process undone .
The estimate is based on the number of people who applied to restore their original legal gender and doesn ’ t cover all “ regretters.

On Dec. 2nd and 3rd, the U.N. funded WHO held a Global Vaccine Safety Summit where scientists admitted vaccines are killing people, adjuvants in the vaccines are part of the problem, and that they have not conducted adequate safety studies.
This phenomenon was also witnessed in Norway’s neighbouring countries Sweden and Finland, as well as in other Western nations, such as the Netherlands, the UK and the US; it has left doctors scratching their heads.
“We have no idea why this is happening,” Anne Wæhre, senior physician at the National Hospital told NRK.
According to Wæhre, the patients can be divided into several categories. Some have rejected their biological gender since childhood and adolescence. Of those who experience discomfort with their gender as teenagers, more than half struggle with serious mental disorders, she stressed.
Additionally an increasing number of patients are placed somewhere on the autism spectrum. However, another group has been rising in numbers in recent years.
“Many of those who have applied to us in recent years are girls who have always felt a little different, a little outside of the rest. When puberty comes, they often fail to fit in. After that, they get a very strong discomfort associated with their breasts and all the visible female features. Soon afterwards they want to change their gender. Then they are referred to us,” Wæhre explained.
She stressed the lack of long-term follow-up research on the girls, who have applied for a gender change since 2012 and been warned of the risks of undergoing irreversible treatment due to problems that may be only temporarily.
According to NRK, many Norwegian girls have regretted having come out as transgender. All of the girls have strong anxiety, and they call it “social suicide” to share their experiences publicly. They are afraid their stories will be seen as devastating to the trans community and its narrative.
Aleksander Sørlie, manager at the Patient Organisation for Gender Inclusion (PKI) suggested that “regretters” rarely get room to tell their stories in today’s debate climate.
According to Tone Maria Hansen and Mikael Scott Bjerkeli of the Harry Benjamin Resource Centre in Oslo, the research that suggests a low percentage of “regretters” doesn’t take into account the explosive increase in recent years. According to them, a thorough individual approach should be in place to avoid people being misdiagnosed.
“These are not trifles. We are talking about removing healthy organs and body parts in young people. Then we must be sure that it is right,” Tone Maria Hansen said.
According to them, an increasing number of young people apply for gender change on the wrong terms.
“We are afraid that there is a contagious effect on social media, where slightly nuanced images and hashtags fail to tell a true picture of what it means to switch gender,” Mikael Scott Bjerkeli said, citing “echo chambers” with no possibility for a critical conversation, and an overall polarised and aggressive debate.
Contrary to previous research stressing the benefits of changing one’s gender, a recent Finnish study pointed out that this is not necessarily the case for young patients aged 13 to 18.
“The common belief that when the patient struggling with mental disorders get the right sex, they will feel good about themselves. However, the majority of those who start taking hormones before they turn 18 in Finland find no mental relief in treatment. A small group is also feeling worse about themselves, both physically and mentally,” Riittakerttu Kaltiala, a youth psychiatrist at Tampere University Hospital told NRK.
Earlier, a Swedish survey indicated that 2.2 percent of patients had their gender correction process undone. The estimate is based on the number of people who applied to restore their original legal gender and doesn’t cover all “regretters.”

As President Trump ’ s pro-growth economic agenda continues to strengthen the private sector , the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is demanding the US import more foreign workers to the detriment of American workers and U.S. wages .
Since Trump took office in January 2017 , the economy has gained nearly 7 million jobs in 33 months .
But U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue warns the roaring economic boom has resulted in a “ crisis ” of worker shortages .
“ We ’ ve identified 10 states , where every individual who wants to work could find a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than a quarter of the jobs would remain unfilled , ” Donohue said during the chamber ’ s annual presentation about its agenda on Thursday .
“ This is just one reason we will be pushing hard for real immigration reform , so businesses can find the workers they need , when and where they need them.
” The U.S. Chamber , the top spender on federal lobbying , is demanding the U.S. continue importing millions of foreign workers every year to fill jobs and will continue to press for immigration overhaul measures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump administration.

Donohue has routinely advocated for increasing legal immigration rates as a boon to corporations .
The controversial white nationalist Richard Spencer faces down Alex Jones ’ interrogation to uncover his controlled opposition tactics as race baiting , or genuine anti-globalism .
“ The fundamental issue is that the United States of America is out of people , ” Donohue told the Washington Post in April .
“ We have the lowest unemployment we ’ ve had in 65 years .
We have brought more people back into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployment.
” Officials of the Chamber of Commerce , which spends heavily on congressional races and routinely makes endorsements in those contests , vowed to court Democrats to support the group ’ s effort to protect “ dreamers ” from deportation and expand rates of legal immigration .

A group of US researchers has created what they say are the first-ever living robots , which were made of frog embryos ’ cells and can be programmed for a specific job , according to their study published by the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .
Joshua Bongard , the University of Vermont expert who co-led the new research , described the robots as “ the novel living machines ” , also known as “ xenobots ” .
The “ xenobots ” created by the researchers are sub-millimetre-sized blobs containing between 500 and 1,000 cells that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dish , self-organise , and even transport minute payloads .
All this was designed with the help of a supercomputer that actually assembled hundreds of living cells in various configurations .
After the scientists set up the desired mode , the algorithm created “ projects ” of creatures that could best cope with the task .
“ You look at the cells we ’ ve been building our xenobots with , and , genomically , they ’ re frogs .
It ’ s 100 percent frog DNA – but these are not frogs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve shown , these frog cells can be coaxed to make interesting living forms that are completely different from what their default anatomy would be ” , biologist Michael Levin of Tufts University , another co-author of the study , explained .
“ As we ’ ve shown , these frog cells can be coaxed to make interesting living forms that are completely different from what their default anatomy would be.
” He added that the “ xenobots ” could be used for implementing a whole array of tasks , including “ searching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gathering micro-plastic in the oceans , [ and ] travelling in arteries to scrape out plaque ” .
It is worth mentioning in this regard that the “ living ” xenobots can neither evolve on their own nor multiply , according to the study .
When the cells run out of nutrients , the xenobots simply die .

Joshua Bongard, the University of Vermont expert who co-led the new research, described the robots as “the novel living machines”, also known as “xenobots”.
“They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It’s a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism”, Bongard pointed out.
The “xenobots” created by the researchers are sub-millimetre-sized blobs containing between 500 and 1,000 cells that are able to scoot across a Petri dish, self-organise, and even transport minute payloads.
All this was designed with the help of a supercomputer that actually assembled hundreds of living cells in various configurations. After the scientists set up the desired mode, the algorithm created “projects” of creatures that could best cope with the task.
