Admin has ended another major immigrant helpline, cornering foreigners into a less defensible position

985,000 new Deportable foreigners

USCIS purge coming which is another means of slowing immigration; so far the administration has been very restrictive of legal migrants

As of early April, H-1B applications are down 38% and lottery entry is down 88%.

Edward Alsworth Ross reminds us not to beware foreigners as huddled masses and criminals but rather to look at how they are at their best, in suits and with jobs: ‘They simply look out of place’.

All of this is Work In Progress, as I've been tracking. There is systemic legal and physical infrastructure being developed for Mass Deportation, changes to restrict all legal immigration, the undoing of Civil Rights limitations and DEI. His ongoing Tariff plan (which has a 10% baseline and variation for negotiation or pressure reasons) is not worth arguing over, nobody follows the details well enough.

USAID closing is a big shift in spending and DOGE cuts are hitting social security fraud et al. They were not 'reduced'; Musk said the current findings are 150b by 2026, the full projection is subject to change, let alone by 2029. On taxes, the House has passed Trump's large tax cut framework as of last week. This does not take into account the savings from deep deregulation being done. On the Bitcoin Reserve, that EO is active and government agencies reported to Bessent last week for it.

Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Arabs, nobody is surprised these historically annoying races refuse to cooperate. I'm noticing the past few months has been an endless of stream of people who either cannot read or do not think comprehensively making very dumb critiques. There is plenty to criticise of the current administration, like the endorsement of Vivek or the shabby performance of the FBI, yet few judgments I'm seeing are intelligent. Ubersoy, a Slavic-Jew, has a habit of omitting information or outright lying so I'm not too surprised.

'If you come to this country to cause problems, we will get rid of you. A visa is an invitation, we can kick you out.'

Bukele: “We know you have a crime problem, a terrorism problem ...we can help... they say we imprisonsed thousands, I say we liberated millions.”

Trump tells Bukele he should build 5 more megaprisons, says the U.S. would pay him to hold our 'homegrown' criminals.

Together with leading manufacturing partners, the company has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space to build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas.

NVIDIA Blackwell chips have started production at TSMC’s chip plants in Phoenix, Arizona. NVIDIA is building supercomputer manufacturing plants in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and with Wistron in Dallas. Mass production at both plants is expected to ramp up in the next 12-15 months.

High tech manufacturing already beginning in the United States, tech tariffs and other anti-Chinese measures to be announced soon.

Bukele to Trump: "Mr President, you have 350 million people to liberate. But to liberate 350 million people you have to imprison some."

Trump: “[We are going to remove] as many as we can get out of our country”

'Is the goal to deport 1 million immigrants?'

Miller: “Much more than that, much more”
