So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

Killing their best customers
Any media organization that acquiesces to Trump will ultimately destroy itself. Its only audience will be the small proportion of America that supports Trump, and it will be stuck fighting with established right-wing media for a share of the ever-shrinking pie. Bad journalism is self-defeating.
