Immigration: The Reality- Rebroadcast

 

I know y'all heard of Elon and Vivek. We are doing a look back to our 3rd episode published in 2019 wherein we warned that the immigration problem is in the East not the Southern Border. 

The real threat of immigration has come and will continue to come from the East. This focus on the souther border is just a distraction while skilled Indian and East Europeans are solidifying their grip on the high paying Tech Sector. In Silicone Valley only 29% of the workers are American. Can you believe that? This episode takes you from the genesis of the move on IT to it's current state. The American Technology worker will continue to suffer lack of opportunities accepting the status quo.
