| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | ECONOMY & IMMIGRATION | The Right's explosive feud over high-skilled immigration | | The story | | While the news cycle is typically at its slowest during Christmas, a viral X post from the incoming Department of Government Efficiency co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy sparked a heated debate among conservatives on the US' need to import high-skilled foreign labor, and how American culture undervalues academic excellence. | "Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long," proclaimed Ramaswamy. "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers." | Ramaswamy argued that the US must expand H-1B visas, claiming a shortage of American talent. This sparked a backlash from many on the right, who contend the program is often exploited by corporations to hire cheaper foreign labor over natural-born Americans. | The H-1B program grants work visas to high-skilled immigrants for jobs, most often in information technology (IT) and software — including highly powerful tech jobs in Silicon Valley. The H1 program was created in the 1950s to address labor shortages, though the H-1B was created in the 1990s. Today, over 100,000 H-1B recipients are taken into the US each year, many of whom are hired for jobs in the place of natural-born Americans. | Proponents of expanding the program believe that the current American labor pool isn't as talented as their foreign counterparts. H-1B dissenters believe capable American workers are being overlooked, and they should be given first priority for American jobs… | | 🔒 Become a member to read the rest. | |

| | | MY THOUGHTS | H-1B Visas for Nazis | Good morning. The tech industry is flooded with H-1B visas — a government-subsidized program that essentially allows corporations to hire cheaper foreign workers across various industries. | These workers rely on corporate sponsorship to stay in the country, meaning they'll often accept lower pay and harsher conditions. Naturally, companies hire them over Americans — and fire Americans for them — not because of skills, but because they're cheaper. In my years in tech, I never saw it have anything to do with talent. | The answer to the intra-right civil war on this issue should be simple: corporations shouldn't be allowed to replace competent American workers with subsidized foreign labor. That's obvious. | At the same time, corporations should still be able to hire foreign workers when they genuinely can't find extraordinary talent domestically. America famously imported Nazi scientists to build our rocket program. Okay, bad example — let's not import Nazis for the sake of tech progress. But you get the idea. | |
