Yeah, I think ultimately, Tom said something interesting about the H-1B, that these get flooded with the H-1B, and that was a huge political debate around, and it's interesting, if you look, something I've observed at least,
anytime you have an economic policy floated in this country that looks to boost american wages whether that be h-1b limits whether that be border restrictions and deportations etc they don't get framed in economic terms never they never ever get framed in economic terms they always get framed in the media
in social terms, in social justice terms.
And it's not I'm the social justice guy, but if you had a fair and balanced media, they would say, here's the social justice angle and America.
If we remove this many workers at H-1B or whatever, your wages as a graduating engineer from Cal or Stanford or the University of Michigan would go up over time by this much.
And if you were a laborer and there were this many deportations, over time your wages would rise this much.
There's a reason why the media never frames the economic argument for these policies is people would vote for them.
