You see some Silicon Valley technology firms, especially the big firms, say that they are desperate for workers,
00:00:05
that they can't find for work workers, that they have to use, you know, overseas visa programs to find workers.
00:00:11
And yet, at the same time, the college educated employment rate for STEM graduates in this country seems to be
00:00:17
declining. Yeah. Well, wait a second. If you're not hiring American workers coming out of
00:00:22
colleges for these jobs, then how can you say that you have a massive shortage in these jobs? And by the way, you see
00:00:29
some big tech companies where they'll lay off 9,000 workers and then they'll apply for a bunch of overseas visas. And
00:00:36
I I sort of wonder that doesn't totally make sense to me. That that displacement
00:00:41
and that math worries me a bit. And what the president has said, he said very clearly, we want the very best and the
00:00:46
brightest to make America their home. We want them to build great companies and so forth. But I don't want companies to
00:00:53
fire 9,000 American workers and then to go and say we can't find workers here in
00:00:58
America.
