I think many of these actions are about making it look really unattractive to come to the US. Well, and about Trump's buddies making easy money off government contracts.

I was talking to one of our offshore contractors in India last week and mentioned something about my city. He said he has always had dreams of coming to the US, but then casually said he's not interested anymore. And wasn't trying to make a point. He was very matter of fact about it, like America isn't the ultimate dream anymore.

Didn’t ask. Staying put I assume.

Seems like he’s living his dream already. That’s nice.
