“ accelerate without migrant labor. ok”

America doesn’t need illegal invaders or H1B usurpers. It’s the greedy, soulless corporations & interests who desire the “el cheapo” quasi “slave” migrant labor. Don’t give me that canard that Americans won’t do the work, because I grew up harvesting, chopping & hanging tobacco + raising hogs. We worked from “can to can’t”.

Trump would find you lazy malcontents and DOGE you. No severance, nothing, just DOGE and GTFO.

Trump should audit the company to see how workers are actually working.

ATT will meet 12% of that goal, and farm 99% of the work out to contractors, like they did the last "rev up". Trump outta audit ATT to see how much of that allocation of funds goes to people that directly deliver fiber.

Thing is, all the hundreds of fiber companies will use the same money to deploy fiber. AT&T may have great fiber, but we cant compete with 40.00 1 gig fiber price locked for 5 years. AT&T disconnected from the finanical plight of most customers.

And the govt should pull all their tax breaks and incentives since they decide to offshore and bring in H1Bs while at the same time laying off American workers. That is just disgusting behavior.
