    Default So much for the "America First" commitment,

    "Continuing the trend of themed weeks, such as "Infrastructure week" and "Energy week," "Made in America week" finds the White House hosting a "product showcase" featuring a variety of items built in the U.S., the president delivering a speech encouraging domestic manufacturing"

    But asked at Monday's press briefing about whether the Trump Organization or Ivanka Trump brands would commit "to stop manufacturing wares abroad," press secretary Sean Spicer shifted the focus to Trump's attempts to cultivate other companies' domestic production efforts.

    "I think what's really important is the president's agenda: regulatory relief and tax relief, are focused on trying to make sure that all companies can hire here, can expand here, can manufacture here," said Spicer.

    "On the matter of Trump-branded items, he added, "I can tell you that in some cases, there are certain supply chains or scalability that may not be available in this country."

    "Trump administration to allow for 15,000 more foreign workers"

    "The Department of Homeland Security will issue up to 15,000 visas allowing U.S. companies to hire temporary, non-agricultural workers, an announcement that comes as President Donald Trump has pushed a "Hire American" theme and at the start of the administration's “Made in America” week"

    Kinda like the old, "do as I say not as I do," just amazing how some can't see thru all this bullshit

    To qualify for the H-2B visas, hiring companies must attest under the penalty of perjury that they are “likely to suffer irreparable harm” without the influx of workers, the Department of Homeland Security’s Monday announcement said.
    I can see a point to this...companies would rather hire foreign, skilled people than Millennials but that's OK, Gen Z has been entering college the last couple years, things will change. “likely to suffer irreparable harm” , I'd say that applies to hiring Millennials.

    Your constant crying wolf didn't work during the 18 month presidential campaign, why does the Left think it will work now.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    This event was a joke. Just like all others.

    Looked like a yard sale at the White House.

    But the President said we should all hire Americans, but now his Administration is doing the exact opposite, strange

    And what is your beef with millennials, aren't they the age group fighting America's wars?

    right. everybody wants manufacturing back in the states but they don't want to deal with the issues preventing it. idiots.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    this. We need tax reform first before companies come back. As of right now even if a one time amnesty is given towards all the money hidden abroad the structural problems are not fixed and it will happen again.
