YES.
There's one easy tell for a REAL America First party and a Fake One.

That was Musk's first flip out, but he got over it. Ending the New Green Scam Subsidies broke him. Or it's all Kayfabe. Who knows.

H1B should be reformed to require at least 2x the pay that an American would get.
Tech companies would drop H1B like a hot potato because the entire goal is to profit from undercutting US worker wages.
But in the rare case where some foreigner is really worth 2x what they would pay an American, then it would not harm US workers to bring that person into the US.

That and/or tie it to the unemployment rate. Sure they can fudge the number maybe a fraction of a percent, so tie it to 3% or less for example. Above that none, and below that it's a progressive quota.

to bump it up.
another lie, Epstein files. we all know how that went.
Ukraine getting more weapons so that day one war not ending
Trump talking Amnesty for illegals.
let’s just say it’s disappointing, because it was all a show.
deficits, just got 5T more. opposite of what was promised.
i’ll give him one nice win, tariffs. he’s making progress there.

For Farm workers. We already have a farm worker program.
Fortwaye says
You can't fix things, deport millions, keep tax cuts for the middle and working class, and cut the budget. Not realistic

The most important thing since a major driver of printing money and debt is to fund imports over a trillion/year.

I was thinking that even if Trump's deportation numbers are not great, his reputation for deporting is in itself dramatically slowing the inflow of criminal aliens, and encouraging a lot of them to self-deport before ICE catches up with them.

I said this before and will say it again: the data point to watch on this is how many landlords start screaming starting this month because of all the illegals breaking their leases w/o saying so much as a word. The landlords' only hint will be the larger numbers of rents in arrears by Aug 5 because the absconding illegal tenants just took off.
So, if the illegals are mass self-deporting as ppl claim, then this will be a big news item. If not, then it was all hyped bullshit.
Either way - I call coming up with this predictive analysis test. Thus I will be posting the following memes for either outcome:

One major win with Trumps immigration stance is that the idea that the mass deportations idea is a third rail is gone.

Agreed. I don’t agree with Trump on everything, but I also understand that you can’t unfuck the nation in 6 month that been fucked for last 30 some years.

The real sign will be in the next census count.
Honestly Trump is a genius. If it’s what he says, the Dems are generationally fucked, much like the Republicans after WW2

Deportations going nowhere, they are already sucking out with "just the gang members".
Epstein files went from "on my desk" to "in near future"
They are testing waters on bringing in more immigrants to replace Americans from Africa.
India is replacing Americans even more, since we kissing up to India.
Ukraine war is still a thing, didn't end on day 1 or day 100.
No one been arrested for fraud, theft, shit they put us through in last 4 years.
DOGE found ton of fraud... ZERO prosecutions. What's the fucking point?
"Big Beautiful Bill" - will cut taxes on tips and overtime, while exploding deficits, with fake spending cuts to take in 2029 (will be repealed before they kick in)
This is not what I call winning. The show is great, results are not there. However, Trump as great showman claims it's winning.
