Puzder Changes Tune on Immigration: ‘I Will Fiercely Defend American Workers’ Over Foreigners
President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for Secretary of Labor seemed to renounce his former positions on immigration—in which he supported foreigners over American workers for jobs—in a new statement on Saturday, seemingly admitting he was previously wrong. Andy Puzder said in a Saturday statement according to RealClearPolitics as circulated by Trump’s transition team, in a sign he’s genuinely changing on the issue from prior controversial statements:
It’s unclear if this will be enough of a shift on the issue, but it is a complete repudiation of things he’s said in the past that drew some sharp criticism off the bat once Trump nominated him. Puzder, the CEO of CKE Restaurants, which includes Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s fast food restaurants, previously said multiple times he wanted to bring in foreign workers to supplant American workers. “The fact is that there are jobs in this country that U.S. citizens, for whatever reason, are reluctant or unwilling to perform,” Puzder wrote in a Politico oped in 2013. “Immigrants appreciate what America offers,” Puzder said another time when he was lobbying for immigration bills in Washington, D.C., according to the Washington Post. “They are not taking jobs from Americans, because there are not sufficient Americans applying for jobs. Maybe they feel they have better options.”
There are countless other statements he’s made over the years, and they’ve drawn criticism from hardline immigration groups like Numbers USA, FAIR, Center for Immigration Studies, and others. But this new statement from Puzder is a complete reversal on the issue, and if Puzder stays strong and demonstrates he’s truly had a change of heart—and truly wants to represent Trump’s vision—he may be able to make it through the fire into confirmation.
Remember when Trump said he didn't think anything was wrong with the H1B visa program, but then changed his position when his supporters made it clear they disagreed with him on that? We need to be doing the same thing. His nominations for his administration have been a mixed bag so far, so we need to hold his feet to the fire if we want to use him to our advantage. The election is over, and even Ann Coulter and Breitbart are doing a better job at criticising Trump's shitty administration picks than TRS and the Daily Stormer are.
Agreed. Trump is not 'literally Hitler', nor is he a white nationalist. Most of the GOP is still anti-white and more loyal to Israel than to white America, despite it being their largest and most loyal voter base.
I'm relieved that Trump won (because Hillary wanted to start a nuclear war with Russia over Syria and give amnesty to millions of mestizos), but ultimately, everyone needs to realize that you can't vote your way out of a genocide. This isn't just true for the United States, but for countries like Germany and Sweden as well.

I like most of Trump's selections (Mattis, Flynn, Sessions, etc) and dislike a few (the kikes) but realistically I'm being over-optimistic to expect every appointment to be Holla Forums-tier.
I have faith that Trump wouldn't select someone for his team if he didn't think they were completely in-line with his agenda. He took over the Republican Party in a hostile coup-d'etat and defeated a seemingly invincible Democratic nominee who had $1.3 billion vs his $700 million in campaign money. The 4d chess memes aren't completely unrealistic, and if Trump believes Puzder is the right man to oversee labor in this country, it's because Puzder has been completely subjugated to Trump's vision.

You're retarded if you think this government will do anything but bump Big Business' bottom line.
It's a cabinet almost entirely made up of corporate shills. This is not the Trump administration we fought for.
Jace Collins
You are a silly billy.
James Peterson
Putting corporate shills in control of basically every federal apparatus ensures corporate cronyism will continue, and get worse.
Is that what you fought for?

You better you burger bastard. you already managed to fuck up hamburgers by getting mexicans to make your sloppy Super Stars, we dont need you fucking everything else up by inviting the more of the turd world.
This is what he said he was going to do all along, get killers, the people you dont want to have dinner with, business leaders, he has been repeating the same stuff in rally after rally. I think youre confusing this with past administrations, these appointments arent paybacks, theyre his picks, people he knows and dealt with, not the highest donor.

Do you really believe Puzder has suddenly seen the light and has abandoned his previous principles?
Seriously?

Non burger here Trust me, you don't want non experts running your country. They would probably end up experimenting on your behalf by doing marxists stuff (like rising taxes, banning free trade, etc.

It's almost like the fuckers finally realize which side their bread is buttered on. Foreign entities don't waste their wages and dumo it back into the companies, it gets sent home. If Americans don't have jobs, they can't spend. If they can't spend, the businesses go broke.
Perhaps they finally tried to eat the linen and realized just how worthless it is without someone being able to turn it into food through labor.

Trump fires anyone who doesn't do what he says. These people he's hiring might be sort of sketchy and not ideal, but if they don't do what Trump wants, he just gets rid of them. Meaning he's hiring these people because they know the system very well, well enough to help Trump fix it. And if they decide they don't want to help Trump, Trump will just get rid of them and replace them. This isn't traditional cronyism we're used to. Trump's shown throughout his campaign that he'll hire people who don't agree with him 100%, but once they step out of line, they're gone.
Don't forget, he was the one saying he knows how to fix a broken system best because he's been so good at avoiding paying some forms of taxes. Hiring experts who have experts in abusing broken systems has always been Trump's method. Hell, that's exactly what he is.
This whole thing about his cabinet has been nothing but fearmongering. Lugenpress knows they can't directly attack Trump and the only one who looks like an idiot is them. So they attack the people around him in an attempt to delegitimize Trump. They've lost against Trump, they know they can't win. So they dig up anything negative about the people around them and they twist it and make it sound as bad as possible.
Watch and you will see the same people who defended Wheeler heading the FCC shitting on Trump's appointments for being high ranking business-people.
People are going to have to adjust. We're so used to politicians being appointed out of cronyism and thinking that once they're there, they'll never leave. But Trump will kick them out the second they step out of line.

Linda McMahon backed expansion of the visa program to take more American jobs
The funny part is how fucking mad the left is that unlike them, the right can acknowledge when the system is broken and abusable.
The kikes like the salty cunt in this thread cannot comprehend anything but duplicity. They literally do not understand cognitive dissonance or the ability to rectify moral conflict.

Why was this even permitted in the first place? Having these policies should be political suicide,

I didnt post to argue. Im on phone in a train atm. The guy is just clearly a newfag who should lurk more or an 45 year old shill who doesnt understand the common memes here

Because those were the rules one had to play by to be successful. The kikes were pretty good about setting their hooks into everything.

Where were these people who are crying about this when we were talking about how Hillary was against gay marriage? She wasn't for it at one point! Clearly she'll never be for it again!
Liberals are not giving conservatives the same benefit of the doubt they gave Hillary. It's disgusting and it only shows you liberals are attacking Trump's cabinet because you want to attack Trump. It has nothing to do with anything else, including what any of this means for the country.

Trump outsourced the production of his ties etc. because it was the best thing to do for his business. Then when he started running for president he had all his campaign shit manufactured in America because that was the best thing to do for his country. This line of concern trolling won't work because Trump himself did the same thing.
Nice try though :^)

The funny part is that the modern commie hates, and is hated by, the working man, more than anyone else in the country.

Still do not trust, Trump could have hired someone with a history of doing their best to preserve American jobs like someone from New Balance or Red Wings boots. I appreciate the statement but I'm not holding my breath that it may be true.
Michael Anderson
Every jewish opinion is horrible. Not every horrible opinion in jewish.
Commies are scared of the working man, which is why whenever he references the working class it's always peasant farmers in black and white photos. They can't deal with the fact that the working class wants nationalism and protectionism instead of niggerdicks and kike subsidies. Which is why they argue for future policies once we all are mixed race and robots make us cheeseburgers.
Cooper Lee
What were you expecting? That he'll be appointing bottom of the barrel railroad workers and industrial workers? No wonder why every one of your paradises collapsed.
You hire capable persons and if they fuck up or conspire against you, you fire them. Pure capitalism, not your stinking marxism.
Luis Lee
What's with the rote and repetitive emphasis on "liberal" and conservative? Are you lost?

There is a concerted effort on this board, and its been pointed out in other threads that have a habit of getting anchored or deleted, to steer all discussion into known and well-defined Republican boilerplate parameters. If you've read Tragedy and Hope, you understand the game.

Sounds odd considering their rhetoric, but it is true. They do not want them to have input on politics or to make decisions for themselves. They want total reliance on the state, which is why they drive as many people into poverty as they can.

So we're trying to convince mexicans and arabs to become principled conservatives and support our greatest ally israel?
Logan Hill
That's because they're all genetic failures who live with their parents. They think they're smart as shit because their IQ is slightly above average and they abstain from normie institutions. They're full of themselves and think the dumb working class should follow their orders because "they know what's best". They won't do jack shit to start the "glorious revolution" since they'd lose their tendies.
Which is why they pretend to live in a time where they won't have to lift their asses to overthrow the government, back in the early 20th century when other people did it for them or in their mythical post-scarcity post-racial utopia where everyone is the same and no one has to work.

Some one/group in a place of "knowing" Knows that something is about to happen in this world that will be able to affect the USA in a negative manner.
Those in the know are changing their tune fast..on a dime..because of a piece of information that they have obtained.
The political 180 that has happened did not happen on its own and was not fully natural as one might think.
Something HYUUUGE is coming.

That is the honest to God truth. Though there's way too many people who believe that fighting for your own nation is much easier than establishing a completely new one, colony style, on more volatile grounds.

This is why the Left always loses, and why Right-Wing people end up running their countries even if they succeed in their "revolutions." They are not actually driven by any love or respect for the working man, they, like Marx, actually hate, despise utterly the working man. Their true objective is and has always been to avoid work. Their methodology for avoiding work is to convince actual workers that they are being terribly exploited–and thus that they should rebel and create a society in which, the Leftist imagines, he will be allowed to live as some sort of philosopher-class, growing fat on the imagined "luxury" that will be afforded to all in such a society.
See how they react when workers resist their pull. Instantly their demeanors twist into rage, and the vitriolic bitterness that you will hear them spew at these people whose interests they pretend to hold at heart will burn your ears off. They will call them bootlickers, slaves, serfs, subservient peasants, they will draw disgusting analogies of them servicing their "masters," when all they are doing is working for a living and doubting the utopian fanfiction of some lazy NEET offering them the sun and the moon in the same toothpaste container of only they will murder their employers and start a civil war.
This is projection of the purest sort: Because the Marxist thinks of workers as precisely what he calls them when he grows angry. He thinks of them as peasants, slaves, indentured servants, his only point of contention, exactly as Marx's was, was that they do not serve HIM.
This is why whenever there is a Worker's revolution, people like Karl Marx are the first to die, pleading for their lives, on their knees. Because to the Worker, there is nothing more disgusting than a parasite, and that is all that any Marxist is, or has ever been.

It is rhetorically, but politicians lie and this guy wasn't a politician so he could get away with saying it. Academics and politicians say they are for the working man but go against it, the businessmen are just more honest about what is.
