The days of employers abusing H-1B Visas are over.
Introducing PROJECT FIREWALL—our plan to ensure high-skilled jobs go to AMERICANS FIRST 🇺🇸

@FerroTV @BloombergTV Hi Jon,
Different perspective on why job market for new graduates have been so difficult. Not just a due to AI.

@theblaze Went from original reporting to JD Vance scrutiny and @BasedMikeLee posting about H1-B freezes in 3 weeks. Not bad @amandalouise416 !

“I believe it makes sense to cut the FOMC’s policy rate by 25 basis points two weeks from now”

Immigrants "do the jobs Americans won't do" not just because of low pay - but because immigrants do them. It becomes a class marker, and Americans feel embarrassed to do them even at reasonable pay. The pay and class thing become a spiral downward.

@FischerKing64 How about those white collar work Americans want to do? Trump administration haven't done anything to protect those jobs.
Google's largest office is in Indian, not in US.

@FischerKing64 I agree. AI will destroy humanity and lead to communist society.

UBI Works 🇨🇦@ubi_works
Think of a UBI as a "AI Dividend", a repayment for that data, a collective share of the benefits of AI, considering the context that it's likely to out-compete average workers.

@JackPosobiec And JD support unregulated AI development. His relationship with Tech Bro really concern me.

The Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, says the Industrial Revolution made human strength irrelevant. Now AI will make human intelligence irrelevant. The wealth from increased productivity won't go to displaced workers. Explains why he's pro-basic income.

@FischerKing64 @bored_stigma JD’s relationship with tech-bro and his view on AI really concern me. How could a populist support unregulated AI development?

I don’t think we will see landslides in our lifetime. Landslides happen with an electorate that is homogenous and where differences are minimal. Like in 1964, 1972, 1984. We just don’t have that now. So it’s more of a grind. I think JD is fantastic, but I think his wins will be 51% maximum.
English
Here is a little dose of reality. It was a convincing election win. But it was close, we didn’t even cross 50% of the overall electorate. What that means is we have to get as much done as possible in the first 18 months because typically incumbents lose Congress in the midterm.

🚨 American STEM Workers Deserve Better! 🇺🇸 For years, we’ve been told there’s a STEM labor shortage, yet the data tells a different story. 📉 In 2021, the U.S. LOST 58,280 STEM jobs but 615,922 foreign STEM workers were brought in. 📈 By 2023, 1.2 MILLION foreign STEM visas were issued, yet only 387,700 net STEM jobs were created. 💡 That means hundreds of thousands of American STEM workers were pushed out of their own industry. This isn’t about innovation or filling gaps it’s corporate greed at the expense of American talent. 🔴 Companies are replacing U.S. STEM professionals with lower-cost foreign labor. 🔵 Wages are being suppressed while skilled Americans struggle to find jobs. ⚪ Job postings are designed to exclude American applicants. America leads the world in STEM because of OUR talent. We must demand: ✅ Fair hiring practices that put Americans first. ✅ An end to visa abuse that displaces U.S. workers. ✅ Accountability for companies selling out American innovation. 💪 STEM jobs belong to those who built this nation’s success American workers! It’s time to fight back and draw the red line!

After the H1B showdown in Dec, my X earnings have been reduced by like 60%. No conspiracies. No coincidences.
It is so rigged. Shady all around.
Why you can’t ever trust X with your money. Elmo bank my ass. Rather have it under mattress.

My nephew, graduated last year Fall, from UE, hired by Amazon as fresh grad, studied engineering, at school, did a few internships. First year salary and package: $300k.
You are saying majority of Euro-American families think STEM is not a good return on investment for schools? What is good then?
English
Ah. Why are European-Americans suddenly so inferior at math since like 1998? Why are the people of Newton, Einstein, Dirac, Crick, Feynman, Heisenberg etc suddenly no longer able to do first rate science? Excellent question!
Do you want the brutal answer? Those "white kids" are being forced into trying to figure out how to capture the value created by those brown kids, because STEM careers in actual research have cratered in prestige, freedom, support and compensation. It's awful. But true. Do you want to raise a serf?
I'm torn. Which is why I fight for scientists to capture wealth; science is my life, but I cannot stand the exploitation and abuse.
You actually know this already, you just don't realize it.
How many STEM researchers and research scientists have you seen at Mar-a-Lago in photos and stories? Name them. Try.
When you think modern AI do you think about the 8 authors of the Transformer LLM architecture that changed our entire world with one paper? Can you name them? Any of them? Or do you think Altman, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. like the rest of us (myself included)? Be honest. You think C-Suite or Sand Hill road VCs.
The researchers simply vanish or become businessmen.
We too often erase the people who do the actual STEM research. The PhD most responsible for the GFP revolution in biology (Douglas Prasher) got to drive a shuttle bus in Alabama for his career. Those who exploited his research felt so bad that they flew him to Stokholm to watch *them* get the Nobel prize. It's totally insane. No one knows this because we keep looking to Billionaires...those who capture the most value...to represent STEM.
STEM rests on "SCIENCE COOLIES". That is what a UCSF lab head (PI) called his army of Chinese and Indian biologists in an interview with me around 2000: "My Science Coolies tell me..."
The absence of white kids is because they generally come from native English speaking families before the 1965 immigration act that have been in the US a long time. Thus they get accurate information that grueling STEM research careers are now a terrible investment due to STEM EMPLOYER practices (e.g. H-1B, illegal collusion, lobbying) and the abandonment of STEM by the Federal Government beginning with the Mansfield ammendment 50+ years ago. They will eventually almost all move from the lab bench, the blackboard and the command line to signing pieces of paper in VC shops or Private Equity or some such higher value endeavor. We in STEM are all being pushed from creating the value to capturing the value. It's awful.
"गोरे बच्चे यहाँ क्या कर रहे हैं?" or something like it is what I heard in New Jersey when our family traveled to the science fair. Literally asking "Why are there white kids here?" Can you imagine?? In New Jersey!
Those Tamil and Bengali Brahmins from English speaking households will soon leave research too, to be replaced by Nepalese and Biharis. Then they will all get the message as well and search for non-research jobs.
Before long you will see a push for Vietnamese and Cambodians. The Nigerians, Philipinos and Ethiopeans will be welcomed, but will soon depart in turn as the STEM employers continue to search for servants and 'coolies' anywhere they can find them. All using one bizarre mantra "The Best and the Brightest!"
Because the employers treat researchers like servants. Fungible geeks. That is the culture we have to break.
Those brilliant brown American kids winning our Olympiads will dream of flying Business Class. Maybe even First Class one day. Those equally brilliant white kids who would have loved to do science leaving the olympiads, now dream of not even being on the same airplane as long as they are also avoiding coach.
Sorry "Cornered Hindu". I hate it. But you asked. Don't shoot the messenger.

@JacksonSaifu @ericweinstein Individual cases mean little to nothing. I have a nephew like that too.
Until the average person is properly rewarded for his efforts, the STEM decline will continue.

@ericweinstein Keeping bring up Asian American against White American is insulting to Asian American kids. There are many many second generation Asian American STEM graduates from top colleges with top GPAs, including Chinese and Indian Americans, couldn't find STEM jobs in US due to H1b visa
