President-elect Donald Trump realized early in his campaign that U.S. IT workers were angry over training foreign visa-holding replacements. He knew this anger was volcanic.

Trump is the first major U.S. presidential candidate in this race -- or any previous presidential race -- to focus on the use of the H-1B visa to displace IT workers. He asked former Disney IT employees, upset over having to train foreign replacements, to speak at his rallies.

"The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker at a Trump rally in Alabama in February. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."

Yes, US nerds were angry about training H-1B replacements, but how much could they have helped put him over the top?

    As long as there were some way to ensure that if the man ever makes contact with the kid at any time during his life then the full cost of upbringing becomes due.

    I'm sure that could never be abused at all...

    You mean the current system of restraining order or not punishing mothers who disobey custody/visitation orders or move to different states etc... is just not enough.

    You make it very clear that for you a kid is basically a bat to hit men.
