Thank you.

People thinking this is some kind of "good move" need to try to remember what administration they're talking about. If you don't understand the play, it's not because you're not being played.

You don't need to believe the administration is Satanic, white nationalist, or whatever else.

It is politically advantageous for them if fewer immigrants enter the United States, because immigrants tend to vote for the other side. And so they wish to reduce immigration. Like everything else in politics, it is simply about power.

That’s a misrepresentation of their point.

They’re merely suggesting that when considering this immigration policy it should be taken into account that the administration creating it has white nationalists as policy advisers.

Nope. GP is very clearly asserting that Trump is playing everyone:

If an anti-immigration admin makes a move that seems pro-immigration, be suspicious. At the very least it is only pro-corporate.

How would this reduce immigration? 85k people will still move to US from H1B every year after these changes, it just will be different 85k people from before unless they change the number.

H1Bs aren't really immigrants, in fact the visa explicitly forbids permanent residency.

No, this is wrong. It's a duel intent visa. You can apply for your green card while on H1B.

I stand corrected, I was thinking of an E-3 visa.
