AMERICAN JOBS FOR AMERICANS. THAT SHOULD NOT BE A CONTROVERSIAL SENTENCE. Tomorrow night I’m at the @UFCR University of Florida’s Levin College of Law and this is where I start: American jobs go to Americans first. In 2015, Disney laid off about 250 IT workers in Orlando. Some had to train their replacements to keep their severance. The replacements came through outsourcing firms that run on H-1B visas. Last week the White House accused Microsoft of laying off 6,000 Americans in a year while collecting 6,300 H-1B visas, and suspended it from the green card program. We have millions of capable workers in our own yards, and their families borrowed six figures to get them qualified. No US company should be outsourcing their jobs while we have qualified Americans. @Phase2Deport

🚨🚨Belfast Was the Warning Different Spark. Same Fuse. I wrote about Belfast in June. A man named Stephen Ogilvie was left in a coma by a knife attack. A 30-year-old asylum claimant was charged with attempted murder. The city burned for days, and the political class spent those days condemning the people in the streets instead of asking why this crime lit the match. Now France. More than half a million people marched yesterday. A city hall in Limoges was set on fire. Government buildings were broken into in other cities. The French aren't marching about immigration. They're angry about prices, schools and services, and I won't tell you otherwise. The spark is different. The fuse is the same. People decide the government isn't listening and isn't going to act. After that, any incident will do. Here's my argument, A state that can't control who comes in, can't remove who shouldn't be here, and can't keep the schools and clinics running is telling its citizens the rules are optional. Immigration policy reaches daily life through rent, wages, classrooms and waiting rooms. People feel it years before a politician says the word. Enforcement is how a government shows it still governs. Restore that, or people will decide for themselves that it's gone. @Phase2Deport #Massdeportation #ICE #DHS My Belfast piece for Lyceum: lyceumnow.com/the-real-lesso…
