While @BrookeRollinsTX was CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, her think tank advocated for expanding and deregulating the H-1B visa worker program.
"Failings and weaknesses" of our immigration system include: we do not give out enough H-1B visas or green cards. Put another way, we are not selling out nearly enough American workers.
Rollins' TPPF also advocated for expanding and deregulating programs like H-2A -- which deprive American workers of job opportunities and actually contribute to illegal immigration due to "temporary" workers overstaying their visas.
Rollins' think tank concluded the "solution" to illegal immigration is giving out so many visas that it just stops being a problem while making as many concessions as possible to cheap labor exploiters. So, the exact opposite of Trump's 2016 platform.
If you want to demoralize your base, letting @jaredkushner crown people like Brooke Rollins as chief of domestic policy is a good way to go about it. @realDonaldTrump needs to know that if this continues, his supporters won't flip for another candidate, but will just stay home.
