Every time they get education, they keep moving to the left! 😭😭😭
Doesn't everybody?
It costs money, has long term effects, and helps people so that’s a no go.
It's not even that. It makes people less blindly compliant to authority, and that's absolutely unacceptable to Republicans.
An educated citizenry is required for a well functioning democracy that benefits that citizenry. That is not in the interest of republican politicians and their benefactors.
*sounds of Lenin*
We can't hire Americans **because they expect to be paid properly
Also the beauty of H1B visa people is that because they have to leave the country (or find another job) in 30 days in the even that they get fired, it means they are perfect for assholes like that billionaire. "Agree to do this or go back to that shit hole"
I sort of remember for Trump’s first term, one of his campaign promises was to set a salary minimum for H1B workers. Out of a thoroughly insane agenda, that was the one policy I liked, because it returned that program to its intent - hiring specialized experts that can’t be found here.
Of course, he didn’t follow through and do it.
It's the government's job to educate the masses! But not like that! And not with my money!
They want what's best for them, not what's best for us. Cheap, loyal labor from countries worse, off than ours is ideal.
Let the Americans eat paste.

Yet he's the richest man on Earth.
He'a the best argument against capitalism as a meritocratic system.

I wonder how he got them there bachelor degrees? Hmm?!
I don't know much about his lore but I wouldn't be surprised if he spun his to portray himself as a gifted talent stifled by the school system
If only they knew what the E in DEI stood for.
That would assume two things... and both of those require education. As trump famously said last goddamn time... he loves the uneducated.
Exclusion?
De-evolution, Exclusion, and Inbreeding - the three pillars of the Red team supporter base.
They know the word, but have no fucking idea what it means.
That’s because the money goes into billionaire’s pockets instead, who would rather just import dirt cheap labor and face less wage pressure.
To be fair, the MAGA crowd does not want to take the required schooling for those jobs. What can you do...
The continuation of the piss poor US income distribution and 3rd World working conditions.
Fash already control nearly every aspect of the indoctrination system: nationalism, capitalism, racism, patriarchy, etc.
To play devil's advocate, that's not what they're saying.
They're saying that other countries education systems are roughly equivalent to the US, and in that scenario, they'd rather still be able to use their stock piled capital to pay for the best of the best from other countries to immigrate to the US.
Yes, higher education should be free, but this kind of logic is a trap, as it normalizes nationalistic logic which only helps the worst of the extreme-right. Besides even countries that have free higher education need to hire qualified immigrants because not everyone wants or has the natural inclination to do all the jobs that are required for the local specialization hub.
