Kind reminder that Canada adopted the “any willing worker” immigration policy promoted by the Cato Institute, and even the liberal politicians who championed it are now getting utterly destroyed politically because the new demographics are voting strictly along ethnic lines.

Nate Erskine-Smith: "Why would dozens and dozens and dozens of people who are temporary residents showing up not understanding the process, when they're asked for their address, they're not certain about what their address is, and then they're taking pictures of their ballot."

Just a reminder that part of the reason California is broke despite being the world's 4th largest economy is we gave 2 million+ undocumented immigrants full-scope medi cal health coverage at no cost to them. Not even a co-pay while we pay $1,200-$2k per month. That the truth.

This is a great point. Many of the pro-H-1B advocates who make a living lobbying for expanded visa programs are insulated from the labor-market pressures they seek to impose on others, thanks to the corporate donors who fund their organizations and salaries. If they had to leave the nonprofit and advocacy world and compete for jobs in the private sector themselves, many would likely struggle in the very labor market they want others to navigate.

A massive blindspot for Hanania & many big accounts: they have NEVER worked for a large non-media corporation To not have this exp means they genuinely do not understand how the world actually works This is unrelated to H1Bs etc: it’s just something I always think w/ these guys

Forbes is no longer a traditional news outlet exercising rigorous editorial oversight over every article published on its platform. At this point, it functions more like a content aggregation platform with contributor-driven pieces. These articles are written by Stuart Anderson, a longtime pro-H-1B advocate tied to the DC immigration policy and IT outsourcing world who runs the one-man shop National Foundation for American Policy. His work should be read critically because many of his claims are framed in a misleading or highly selective way. For example, during President Donald Trump’s first term, Anderson published a piece claiming the administration had reduced legal immigration by 50%. The claim circulated widely among Trump supporters defending the administration’s immigration record, but it was so exaggerated that even @CIS_org pushed back and debunked it. It’s also worth remembering that Anderson financially benefits from the attention these articles receive. Every time people share and amplify his pieces, they drive traffic to the article, which generates advertising revenue and broader exposure for his advocacy work

Forbes just reported the Trump admin is preparing to END or severely restrict OPT — the program letting foreign students work in the U.S. for up to 3 years (12 months regular + 24-month STEM extension). This is now the 3rd or 4th time in recent months various sources have confirmed OPT is on the chopping block. This is the same OPT pipeline ICE exposed today for massive fraud: 10,000+ foreign students on fake shell-company jobs, empty buildings, PO boxes, and phantom employees. Shut down the OPT pipeline. Prioritize American STEM workers. forbes.com/sites/stuartan…

The UK immigration system in action: migrants earning the lowest wages are the most likely to remain in the UK long term, while there is some evidence that those with the highest salaries are the most likely income group to leave.

You’re completely clueless on this issue. You’re asking American STEM grads to compete against millions of people outside the United States who would happily accept almost any wage so long as it promised an immigration benefit. Why would Americans pursue STEM if there are millions of foreign students who would be more than eager to work for less in exchange for immigration benefits?
Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@ValerieFoushee

Seeing some anger on this bill from Republicans. No one is trying to stop Americans from getting advanced STEM degrees! Except for Trump who gutted the Department of Education, worked to prevent the cancellation of loan debt, and is destroying the job market.

“I’ve never had to consider whether an American could do the job.” A US immigration lawyer tells @StevenEdginton companies don’t have to prove they can’t hire Americans before bringing in foreign workers on H-1B visas. 👇

Why won’t they return to their home countries? What’s so bad about going back home and helping their own people? Why do they feel entitled to be here?
PhysiciansOnPause@MD_pause

I personally know more than 20 physicians from the affected 39 countries who have already left for Canada or are in the final stages of doing so, despite previously having signed contracts for jobs starting in July in underserved areas across the U.S. These are experienced PCPs, cardiologists, ICU physicians, pediatric gastroenterologists, and other specialists. Many are Ivy League trained or trained at institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic. We are hurting ourselves with indiscriminate nationality-based policies. The immigration debate should be about legal vs illegal pathways, merit-based vs family-based systems, humanitarian priorities, targeted protections for critical and shortage workforce sectors, and high-skilled vs low-skilled legal immigration. Instead, we skipped all of that and moved toward blanket indiscriminate nationality-based and class restrictions. The first people to leave are the highly skilled, mobile, net-positive contributors who have options elsewhere. People who dont will fight to stay. Other countries are already capitalizing on this self-inflicted damage. Once the dust settles, these untargeted policies will amount to a direct net loss for the United States and its position in global competition. The Hoover Institution studied similar trends during 2017–2019 and found that restrictive immigration policies harmed high-skilled immigration the most, weakened U.S. competitiveness, and negatively affected native worker wages, while benefiting countries such as Canada and parts of Europe.

This is great -- fraud is endemic in OPT. But why hasn't OPT been cancelled altogether? Not only was it just made up by the executive branch, but it's facially illegal -- student visas are only valid while engaged in a full course of study. More here: cis.org/Jacobs/Whats-P…
Ali Bradley@AliBradleyTV

NEW: “We’ve dramatically expanded our oversight at OPT and can report that we found fraud nationwide…” Acting @ICEgov Director Todd Lyons says they identified more than 10,000 foreign students who claim to be working “for highly suspect employers…” Via USCIS: OPT or Optional Practical Training Extension for STEM Students (STEM OPT) is a 24-month extension of post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 students with qualifying degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). It allows eligible students to work in the U.S. for a total of 36 months (12 months of standard OPT + 24 months extension).

The Chinese immigrant mayor of Aracadia, Calif. has resigned after pleading guilty to being an agent of the Chinese government. Do you remember that last year an investigation was launched into a Chinese baby factory in Arcadia? That city needs to be thoroughly investigated for systematic Chinese infiltration. nbclosangeles.com/news/local/21-…

No, @scrowder is actually correct here because he emphasizes that the estimated 87% reduction applies to outside foreign workers and understands that the cap is still being met because Congress structured the law so that @USCIS must continue processing H-1Bs for applicants already inside the country.
Grace Chong, MBI@gc22gc

No. @scrowder is wrong on the “87% drop in H1Bs” argument against @NickJFuentes. @IAproject said on WarRoom that while new overseas H1Bs dropped bc of the $100K fee, companies are backfilling with foreign workers and students already here, so there’s “no real drop” in total H1Bs. x.com/gc22gc/status/… x.com/gc22gc/status/…
