00:00:00
You see some Silicon Valley technology
00:00:02
firms, especially the big firms, say
00:00:04
that they are desperate for workers,
00:00:05
that they can't find for work workers,
00:00:07
that they have to use, you know,
00:00:08
overseas visa programs to find workers.
00:00:11
And yet, at the same time, the college
00:00:13
educated employment rate for STEM
00:00:15
graduates in this country seems to be
00:00:17
declining. Yeah.
00:00:18
Well, wait a second. If you're not
00:00:20
hiring American workers coming out of
00:00:22
colleges for these jobs, then how can
00:00:24
you say that you have a massive shortage
00:00:27
in these jobs? And by the way, you see
00:00:29
some big tech companies where they'll
00:00:31
lay off 9,000 workers and then they'll
00:00:34
apply for a bunch of overseas visas. And
00:00:36
I I sort of wonder that doesn't totally
00:00:39
make sense to me. That that displacement
00:00:41
and that math worries me a bit. And what
00:00:42
the president has said, he said very
00:00:44
clearly, we want the very best and the
00:00:46
brightest to make America their home. We
00:00:48
want them to build great companies and
00:00:49
so forth. But I don't want companies to
00:00:53
fire 9,000 American workers and then to
00:00:56
go and say we can't find workers here in
00:00:58
America.
