Illegal immigrants who committed crimes were being deported before Trump, H1Bs were already difficult to hire and so on. To be honest, I don't care what Trump does as long as he doesn't start a huge ass war or crash the economy, and I have honest fears that both of those are a possibility from someone who finds every so much harder than he thought.
I'm actually pretty fond of some of his proposals, such as deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes and making it much more difficult to hire H1Bs (I don't like many other policies he's put forth, but you can't get everything you want); but then, that's what happens when both parties ignore a large chunk of America. Public policy starts coming down the pipe that gets called "crazy idiotic", and then its policy.
American citizens are taxed on all worldwide income, why is it crazy that businesses should be as well? If you pay taxes to some other country, sure, you get a deduction for that. But tax accounting fuckery where you're paying no taxes on a large amount of income? Nope.
