Let's face the facts: either Sikhs should not be allowed to carry kirpans — the very blades that killed Henry Nowak — or the public should be able to carry knives, since the current law is clearly not working.
Justice must be applied equally to all.

In the UK, members of protected minority groups can carry a literal sword, while ordinary British citizens can go to prison for carrying a Swiss Army knife. I understand there shouldn't be an 'Us and Them' in our society, but politicians have turned it into 'Us vs Them'.

@AuronMacintyre Not to mention all the employment that opens up and higher wages

Fixing immigration fixes everything
Housing too expensive: deportations
Crime is high: deportations
Schools are crowded: deportations
All you have to do is push the button and it fixes everything

🚨INDIAN H-1B WORKERS LEAVING TEXAS IN DROVES—HOME PRICES PLUNGE 9% Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown is triggering a housing bust in Dallas suburbs like Frisco, Celina, and Prosper. New $100,000 visa fees, higher salary requirements, and state-level freezes on H-1B petitions, combined with AI-driven tech layoffs, have forced many Indian workers to leave the country within 60 days of losing their jobs. As a result, home prices in Collin County suburbs have dropped nearly 9% year-over-year, builders are stuck with 125 unsold luxury homes, and foreclosures have risen 44%.

**nobanpleasethx** Top countries by % foreign-born (UN Int'l Migrant Stock 2024):
Qatar ~77%, UAE ~74%, Kuwait ~68%. Microstates like Monaco, Liechtenstein also 60-70%+.
US: 15.2% (~52M) — by far #1 in absolute numbers.
High % often = temporary guest workers in Gulf/small rich states. Absolute vs per capita tells different stories.

Most people in the country have no idea about this
Official Layoff@LayoffAI
THE U.S. HAS 3X MORE IMMIGRANTS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH. 1 of 6 immigrants on the planet live here. No other major developed nation comes close. The outcome is clear: the U.S. absorbs a disproportionate share of global migration & ~9/10 new jobs go to them right now.

As Mark Twain aptly noted, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Back in 2024, we examined headlines such as "56% of the Most Highly Valued Tech Companies Founded by 1st and 2nd Generation American immigrants" and found the facts didn't support the claim.
What we found then, and what is almost certainly still true today is this: you can say a company was founded or co-founded by an immigrant, but what goes unexamined is that immigrant's contribution relative to the other founders.
When we weighted actual immigrant contribution against the number of co-founders, the figure dropped from 56% to just 10.69%.
There is also a methodological problem buried in the body of the NFAP report that was absent from the press release that further inflates the headline number and that is the study included companies "founded or co-founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants." The children of immigrants are not immigrants. They are U.S. citizens.

This new research on US unicorn startups is really interesting. Some key facts from the report: 1. Immigrants founded or cofounded 455 of America’s 775 privately held billion-dollar startups, equal to 59% of all US unicorns. 2. 66% of all US unicorns were founded or cofounded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. 3. 79% of US unicorns have either an immigrant founder or an immigrant in a key leadership role. 4. The 455 immigrant-founded US unicorns have a combined valuation of $5 trillion. 5. That $5 trillion valuation is larger than the total stock-market value of companies listed in all but 7 countries. 6. Including immigrant-founded unicorns that went public since 2016 pushes the total value above $5.8 trillion. 7. The number of immigrant-founded US unicorns rose from 50 in 2018 to 455 in 2026. 8. 24% of US unicorns have a founder who first came to America as an international student.

@theRebel_Lord @Bulvarpress Also, when costs go up, people are less likely to spend money eating out, which means less tips. Huge tips being expected is why I dont eat out more.
English
Just realized this was at a Perry's, my favorite steakhouse. Amazing service and wait staff always. This person is a cheap asshole devoid of the ethics that make our society great, doing right thing when given a choice and supporting someones livelyhood.
If you dont want to tip, DONT EAT OUT.

ABD’de bir müşteri, 612 dolarlık restoran hesabına yalnızca 9 dolar bahşiş bıraktığını ve Amerikada tip kültürünün bir saçmalık olduğunu savundu:
“Bahşiş kuralları sanki değiştirilemezmiş gibi davranılıyor. 612 dolarlık bir yemek hesabım vardı ve bir anda sırf toplam tutar yüksek diye 120 dolardan fazla bahşiş bırakmam bekleniyordu. Masaya aynı tabaklar taşındı, aynı içecekler dolduruldu, masada aynı süre geçirildi ama nedense garsonun kazancını menü fiyatları belirliyor. 9 dolar bahşiş bıraktım, bu da birkaç saatlik hizmet için gerçek bir para. Ancak sanki yazılı olmayan bir kuralı çiğnemişim gibi ortamın havası bir anda değişti. Ardından müdür yanıma gelip ‘sektör standartlarından’ bahsetmeye başladı. Daha pahalı bir yemek sipariş etmek ne zamandan beri daha fazla emek harcandığı anlamına geliyor? 50 dolarlık bir yemek yerine 20 dolarlık bir yemek söylersem tabak bir anda daha mı ağır oluyor? İyi hizmet aldığımda bahşiş veririm ancak restoran daha pahalı olduğu için bahşişin otomatik olarak yüzdelik bir ek ücrete dönüşmesi gerektiğini düşünmüyorum. Sizce bu adil mi, yoksa artık buna o kadar alıştık ki sorgulamayı mı bıraktık?” dedi.

@theRebel_Lord @Bulvarpress I mean $9 on a huge bill is excessive, but tipping culture has gotten out of control. It should be 12% max. Thats with good service. Bad service, zero.

@RichardHanania You should show your dedication and move to India
English
India has sent 96 people to America who started billion dollar companies. No one else is even close.
There's only about 5 million Indians in America. Almost one in 50,000 of them is a unicorn founder!
What a holy, special, beautiful people.
I will always fight for them.

ADP: +122k private jobs in May 2026 (beat expectations). May 2024 ADP: +152k.
No public data tracks citizenship/visa status (H-1B etc.) of *new private hires* by month. Payroll surveys don't collect it. Foreign-born ~19% of labor force recently; exact % of May gains unknown.
BLS full May report drops tomorrow.

May private sector job growth BEAT economists' expectations 📈🇺🇸

i've been in tech/startup for a decade. i hire.
the idea that there is a massive reservoir of american tech workers is not true because it's a pain in the ass to hire non-americans tbh but sometimes you have to do it...
ShadesOfBlueAndRed@ShadesOfBlueAn1
you cant fix stupid would NVIDIA be paying half a million dollars to H1Bs if talented americans were readily available?

@ShadesOfBlueAn1 Read the post again, they arent paying h-1bs 500k but you are being disingenious anyways

Hany Girgis@SanDiegoKnight
Nvidia reportedly sponsored roughly 1,200 H-1B positions (up from 1000 last year) while paying some salaries approaching $500,000. Serious question: With hundreds of thousands of software engineers, AI researchers, and STEM graduates in the U.S., were there truly no qualified Americans willing to take those jobs? How many applied? We’ll probably never know. @realDonaldTrump @SusieWiles47 @SenEricSchmitt @RepBrandonGill @RepEliCrane businessinsider.com/nvidia-salarie…

@chrisbrunet @PittTweet No Federal funding for colleges that refuse to hire American, period.
English
The University of Pittsburgh (@PittTweet) just posted 4 notices of intent to hire H-1B workers:
- Data Scientist: $58,000
- Database Administrator: $56,889
- Data Scientist: $70,000
- Data Analyst: $78,638
No American citizens were qualified for any of these jobs.
