Lutnick: So historically the employment-based green card program let in 281,000 people a year. And those people on average earned $66,000 a year on average… So we were taking in the bottom quartile, below the average American, it was illogical. So what we are doing now is we're going... to stop doing that, we're going to only take extraordinary people at the very top,show more

Highly skilled Koreans were over here recently trying to create jobs for Americans, LITERALLY BUILDING THE FACILITIESS, and they were arrested and horribly abused and driven out of the country never to return, so.

You cannot convince me that this is not a Ponzi scheme with a presidential seal.

In other words, if you are lower or middle income you're just trash. Got it.

That's right MAGA voters, if you make say, 70k a year or less, you're trash to them. The extraordinary types are better than you, and they deserve more than you.

So- are we to take this as an effort to rub out the middle class? Because that’s sure as hell what it sounds like. Basically saying that people who make the average American income aren’t good enough. Are less than.

So immigrants will be taking high paying jobs from Americans instead of low paying jobs. Got it.

So he just insulted half of America who makes less than 6 figures a year. 😳

FSS It’s like trickle down economics only with a pedophile

Funny thing about howard lutnick is that he lived next door to JE for 21 years.

Give me your poor your tired and your obscenely wealthy

"Why is the President trying to take away our cheap labor?" Democrats haven't changed.

This guy talks nonsense but doesn't understand what he's saying. It's incredible that taxpayers fund his drivel.

@KimKimmmmay And the figure he’s not giving you is how much those people pay in taxes to the govt. Probably more than the billionaires! The also pay into SS which they will never end up collecting. Another half story from this administration.

The visa is for special employment. High paying professional work thst is not $66k a year. These are triple digit thousands.

Under the current H1B program, successful applicants must: - Have a 4 year degree or above - Be working in a career field that has high demand in the US. It’s not that easy to get, the process is long and challenging. But most positions will never justify a fee of $100k

I thought they already sold 100 of these gold cards. Trump will be shaking down Russia mafia and mid eastern crooks.

But people at the top are leaving the USA, because fascism isn't a nice place to be. It's also fundamentally opposed to science and progress. When did you last get any innovation from Russia? Exactly, you know nothing from Russia. That's why.

Genius visas, like Melania?

MAGA: "But... I make... I make, uh... $39,000 a year... what does, what does he think about that ... about ME?"

I don’t think it’s the government’s business to begin with. Let the market decide.

About time! This is where all those coding jobs Obama and Biden talked about went.

So if you’re not rich enough to pay, you don’t matter to the Trump administration

Isn't this the same idiot who wants to sell rice to asia? 🤣🤣

So 66k is now a low-paying job. Hum.

Another one of these sycophants taking whatever good will they had earned in their lives and lighting it on fire to act as Trumps ball sack supporter. You hate to see it.

Welcome to Immigration Idol....only the top 1% get a golden visa.

Extraordinary people at the very top, have better opportunities than the United States.

What's so funny is that none of those potential immigrants 'from the top' will want to have anything to do with what we have become as a country.

@lutnick One reason the average income is so low for new citizens is because many of the lowest paying jobs are filled by people who are foreign born. Foreign-born workers comprise 28% of the entire long-term care (LTC) workforce, including home care and residential care

@howardlutnick needs a new job. A cubicle somewhere isolated so he doesn’t bother his office mates with his incessant, cheery nonsense. Pure nonsense.

@Grok does this sound like a populist statement? Could some perhaps interpret it as a claim that a person's value is inherently connected to their wealth?

And giving more opportunity for Americans

France, come get yalls statue back . We don’t deserve it anymore.

Oh yeah, let the rich ones in so they can take up all the nice houses!
