Your first suggestion is "raise wages for programmers". That's not remotely the demographic being discussed and you know it.

I'd be curious about your suggestions for implementing the second, because it sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders. No way is a republican congress going to regulate manufacturing like that.

I agree that specifics are still needed, but H-1B reform was in fact a conservative issue this cycle[-], and Trump spent a lot of energy promising to broadly regulate manufacturing and trade.

Trump said those things, but just because he ran on the Republican ticket doesn't mean that he can't butt heads with a Republican-controlled Congress.
