Yeah, well, Steve, if you leave AI aside, we have already gone well down the road to decimating our domestic labor force with our immigration system.

So the fact that we have made cheap foreign labor available to employers means that American workers are second choice already.

So you add AI on top of that, American workers become third choice.

And there's a new study that has just come out by George Borjas, who's a Harvard economist, who is fantastic.

It's done by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

And it shows that H-1Bs across the board

are paid 16% less than American workers in the same jobs.

However, if you drill down to occupations like software developers, the difference is 30%.

So employers can save almost a third of the wages by hiring an H-1B instead of an American.

So that means that even if you have a $100,000 fee on top of the H-1B approval process like President Trump did,

The employer makes that back within four years, and it's pure profit after that.

So we have put American workers second already, and now we're talking about putting them third.

That is not sustainable.

We cannot have this.

And the first thing we need to do, in my view, is get rid of these visas so that we can stop replacing Americans with cheap foreign labor.

And then we're going to have to deal with AI because we don't have a country if we don't have solid work where people can earn a living and have the moral support and values that work entails.

Yeah, it's a big hill.

It's more like a mountain.

We are going to, first of all, have to get the Senate to move to the talking filibuster.

There's no other way that we can get serious election integrity legislation done.
