And don't fall for it.
Like I said yesterday, the people who are pretending to be MAGA or put up the website after they're reached out to for comment by the Wall Street Journal, those are the most deceptive and I'd argue sociopathic and certainly psychopathic people in our midst.
Well, I thought that that was what I voted for, but it seems like with each passing day, we're straying a little bit further and further away from that.
I think it's the point that immigration is both an economic issue, but also a cultural issue, right?
We want to deport these people, not just because they're depriving Americans of their wages, of their jobs, but also what they're doing to the cultural environment.
fabric, what they're doing to these neighborhoods.
It's a compounding issue.
And two, I also think that the sort of limited hangout, to use that term again, version that we're getting of this, it sort of ideologically rests on what I think is the original sin, which is the idea that Americans are not enough.
And it's sort of what undergirds even the designer baby idea, but it's certainly what undergirds the H-1B.
It's what animated the Elon Musk and Vivek debate over what it means
To be an American, should we be studying 25 hours a day, eight days, increase the length of the day so all we can do is study?
That's not what this country was founded on.
If you look at the history of us going back to the revolution, the pre-revolutionary days, it's this idea of civil society and community.
And that's something that's distinctly unique.
But I also think that you see this sort of just
a core lie that permeates into the H1B narrative, which is, again, both cultural but also economic.
And it's this idea that we need to import foreigners in order to continue to be the America that we once were.
And I wanna just cite a statistic from the White House's own website, because what was it?
Just a month ago, they were busy pumping the airwaves with ideas that they were going to basically reform, if not get rid of the H1B program.
But what it shows is that the share of IT workers in the H-1B program grew from 32% in 2003 to an average of over 65%, that's an aggregate, of the last five years.
