Article misses key flaws in OPT program. Undercuts US workers and distorts market. No eligibility standards - any student qualifies. Employers and students automatically evade payroll taxes (15%). Employers can pay zero wages. 3 yr guestworker program masquerading as education

Optional practical training #OPT is a guestworker program masquerading as education. It has no wage rules and is rife with conflicts of interest - universities and firms exploiting it for profit it are responsible for overseeing its operation. motherjones.com/politics/2017/…

Biden "let his first chief of staff, Ron Klain, kind of run things for a while," Jake Tapper told NYT. IOW, Klain bypassed Biden's pocketbook concerns & opened the border in 2021 So Klain, Mayorkas & FWDus gave Trump the 2024 win. bit.ly/3uACNGP bit.ly/4muDnlG

"The corporate narrative blames artificial intelligence for these layoffs, but there's absolutely no proof that AI is driving this displacement. What we do know is that the H-1B visa program has systematically replaced American white-collar professionals, and it's no longer

“Recruiting international students is … the main way to attract top talent! After this road is cut off, will Harvard still be the same Harvard?” They seem to think talented Americans don’t exist.

Not just the Indian *AI* scene. Signaling over reality is endemic. For example, immigration influencers recommending paying for fake journal articles to gain access to the EB-1 greencard.

The OPT program completely undercuts American workers, particularly higher-skilled workers and recent college graduates, by giving employers a tax incentive to hire inexpensive, foreign labor under the guise of student training. My bill, H.R. 2315, terminates OPT.

A fun sentence from this paper. 82% (!) of Indian and Chinese Silicon Valley engineers report exchanging technical info with their home countries. This is why immigration from these countries erodes US tech leads. ~0 immigration from either is experts in areas where we're behind.

Most of the “skills-based” immigration process has turned into a scam. These Pakistani fraudsters were getting employment-based Green Cards approved for jobs that didn’t even exist—and there’s a whole cottage industry doing this. Only a few ever get caught.

Last week, two Indian nationals on student visas were arrested for trying to extort an elderly couple. Now another has been caught impersonating law enforcement to scam a 78-year-old woman. Loosened student visa standards are letting call center scammers operate on U.S. soil.
