Bringing in foreign workers isn't unique to Trump, every billionaire would do it if he had the chance. Most send jobs abroad to save not only on the wages but other costs as well. Then declare the profits in a tax haven. Leaving us to pick up the costs.

Would they do that if their tax bill went up by the same amount they saved in wages or the goods landed with a tariff the equivalent they saved by manufacturing overseas?

At the moment the costs are put into the debt bill, so our children can deal with it.

Don't blame the players, blame the game.
