by President Trump was on an interview with Laura Ingraham and said something difficult:
INGRAHAM: But we have plenty of talented people here.
TRUMP: No, you don’t. No, you don’t. No, you don’t
INGRAHAM: We don’t have talented people here?
TRUMP: No, you don’t have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say I’m going to put you into a factory where we’re going to make missiles.
This seems to fly in the face of MAGA, because H1B visas don’t currently serve the purpose of training Americans in things that they cannot do, but they are actively replacing American workers in different jobs and providing a bridge for people to come to this country.
Furthermore, Ford and other companies have said they have high-paying jobs in manual labor available, but no one is taking the jobs.
So what’s going on here?
Sounds to me like we are reaping the results of prioritizing education over the trades and soft skills over manual labor. It seems there are plenty of jobs, but we aren’t training people for them because everything we emphasize is college (and getting into debt), or trying to become a social media influencer.
