ELIZABETH TROUTMAN MITCHELL: American STEM grads are about to lose jobs to a program that lets foreign graduates work in the US tax-free on Social Security and Medicare for several years. @TheElizMitchell

The Optional Practical Training program lets foreign students work in the U.S. for nearly 4 years after graduation—and gives employers a tax break for hiring them over American citizens. "We all pay our taxes, and then we create incentives for our companies to hire foreign workers. We have so many Americans that don't have jobs. This should happen today," said @SenRickScott. DHS could end it tomorrow. So far, they haven't. @TheElizMitchell reports: dailysignal.com/2026/06/14/m… 

EB-5 should be abolished.

OPT is a subsidy for corporations that discriminate against American workers. This program was never authorized by Congress and needs to end!

‼️The MAGA movement is demanding that the Trump admin end a visa program that incentivizes employers to hire foreign students. "It makes you mad," @SenRickScott told @DailySignal. "We all pay our taxes, and then we create incentives for our companies in our country to hire foreign workers." Noem said she was reevaluating the Optional Practical Training program, but Sec. Mullin has not updated DHS' stance on OPT. "OPT is the gateway drug of our scam ‘legal’ immigration system—it allows corporations to hire an unlimited number foreigners rather than American citizens," Steve Bannon said. Employers receive a tax break for hiring foreign graduates under OPT, which some say gives foreigners an advantage over Americans. dailysignal.com/2026/06/14/m…

"Mark Krikorian, executive director of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, thinks Trump has the philosophy of “legal good, illegal bad,” which conflicts with some Republicans who want to limit legal all immigration. “He isn’t where the next generation of Republican policymakers are, like JD, like Sen. Schmitt, like Brandon Gill in the House, who are actual restrictionists, and acknowledge that numbers themselves are too high. It’s not just a problem of illegal immigration,” he said.

Another Indian #H1B pays his company to stay on the job b/c he expects the federal gov't will give him a green card prize, says lawsuit. Indebted US grads can't compete w/ imports who work for minimum wage. Brutally unfair. Estb. journos are powerless. bit.ly/4g4nCBt

Cato assured me that this was impossible.

It’s not just the cost of living in coastal areas that they’re running away from.

Same Democratic congresswoman who was complaining about restrictions on the J-1 visa program because ski resorts were struggling to access cheap foreign labor.

🚨 BREAKING: In a bombshell moment, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ABOLISHES H-1B VISAS from being used at state universities "We can do it with Florida RESIDENTS or AMERICANS! If we can't? Then man, we need to REALLY look deeply at what's going on with this situation!" DeSantis exposed that H-1B AUDITS found colleges were bringing in Chinese people on visas to talk to students about "public policy," among other issues. "Why do we need to bring someone from CHINA to talk about public policy?!" "I am directing today the Florida Board of Governors to PULL THE PLUG on the use of these H-1B visas at our universities." HUGE! I LOVE my state! @GovRonDeSantis ☀️

Slow day at the Miami Herald.

In his NC GOP speech, Labor Commissioner Luke Farley made a point of how illegal immigration and H-1Bs are depressing the wages of North Carolina and eroding supposed job gain figures Farley is working with legislators to pass a "Make E-Verify Great Again" act

Since Larry Ellison took over CBS, the network’s hired guns seem to be working overtime to defend H-1B visas. Ellison’s own company, Oracle, has long relied heavily on the program to replace qualified American workers with lower-cost foreign labor.

In 1980 Ronald Reagan convincingly won the presidency against Jimmy Carter, and also tipped the Senate. But the democrats maintained control of the House and Tip O’Neill remained speaker. That meant a lot of people voted for Reagan, but then voted democratic down ballot. They could do this knowing bipartisanship was possible - that the country had a coherent population, and differences were not so wide that people would refuse to work together. Reagan was able to push his tax reduction plan through Congress. Tip O’Neill basically said ‘this is what the people voted for, so we will work with you.’ That could not happen today. The US electorate is balkanizing because of too much immigration too fast - which is exploited by unscrupulous politicians. We will probably not see the kind of bipartisanship of the early 1980s again in our lifetimes - if ever. And this is why a 1924 style moratorium on immigration is necessary, coupled with aggressive assimilation policies and deportations of those who don’t really want to be American. And it’s why birthright citizenship is a disaster in present circumstances.

The collapse of higher ed is being framed as a problem of population decline—the “demographic cliff.” And mass immigration is being proposed as the solution. The economic arguments for mass immigration are increasingly like this; they don’t even bother to pretend mass immigration on its own has any net positive value, but only that it’s a temporary palliative to delay the death of failing institutions and business models that refuse to adapt to the market. The institutions deserve to die, and mass immigration won’t save them anyway.

He destroyed our entire country economically, culturally - facilitating mass migration & further ethnic fragmentation (Surrey looks like India & parts of Burnaby are indistinguishable from China, sorry!) I can say this even as an immigrant with proud Indian heritage. Immigration without integration is an invasion! Better he not show up at Canada's games. (Didn’t even mention his Covid lunacy or attacks on free speech)
