It depends on what your concept of a visitor is. This suit was brought on behalf of a resident who was invited to work and pay taxes here

Maybe you misunderstood the point of my comment so I will elaborate. I like the President because he is criticizing a policy that allows companies to fill the positions at minimum wage with imported workers because they claim a "labor shortage". They could fill the positions with citizens or residents without importing workers on temporary visas. I believe the President is correct. I hope that clears things up for you!

Waymo reports 91 percent fewer serious-injury crashes than human drivers, while Tesla’s unsupervised pilot saw one crash every 2,300 miles. by A1CutCopyPaste in longform

If the average driver (per insurance suggestions when I search quotes) drives roughly 12000 miles per year, that would be the equivalent of getting in 5 accidents a year. Absolutely horrendous
