I think there needs to be an H-1B program.
I don't think the national waiver and the other programs are enough.
A lot of times, you know, look how Sundar Pichai came or Satya came, who are now leading Google and Microsoft.
They came, they studied here, and then they got an H-1B.
But I would also...
make it that you don't stay on an H-1B indefinitely, that we move towards a green card, which by the way, President Trump said on your show, in one of your episodes, he said, I'm going to make sure that we actually move folks quickly to a green card.
That to me seems like a win-win because you're then not exploiting an individual.
You're going to pay them the market wage as they have flexibility of moving.
And at the same time, they're going to stay in the United States instead of going back to China or to India.
By the way, a lot of these companies, if you just limit H-1Bs, they all have overseas.
A lot of the big companies have overseas headquarters.
So they're going to just offshore the jobs instead of bringing the jobs here.
We need a secure border.
The border, we let in too many people under the Biden administration without having the proper security.
I think the Democrats need to acknowledge that, own up to that.
and say that we need to make sure that there is a secure border.
Now, I don't agree with Trump in the way he's shut down basically all asylum claims, and he's just taken it to zero.
And I don't agree with that approach.
But do I think we needed to do things to secure the border?
More I do.
