A small university in Indiana keeps a second, separately registered federal record that almost nobody opens. On that record sit 9,123 graduate students, 98.3% of them foreign nationals. Trine University. Trine paid roughly $16 million to a single recruiting agency that runs its offices out of Hyderabad and Warangal. The person that agency lists as its contact is the same person Trine's own press release calls its director of international graduate student recruitment. None of those payments appear anywhere in eleven years of Trine's audited financial statements. This is their graduating class.

I agree with @bennyjohnson that some of these men were the architects of Silicon Valley. But we should also be clear that Microsoft and these same leaders were the architects of American visa policy as we know it. That part is documented. When Congress wrote the H-1B visa in 1990, the draft cap was 25,000, and employers would have had to attest that they had actively recruited American workers and could not find any. Business lobbyists got the cap raised to 65,000 and got the recruitment language struck. What replaced it was the Labor Condition Application, a form where the employer attests to paying the prevailing wage. George H.W. Bush signed it on November 29, 1990. Congress raised the cap again to 115,000 in 1998, then to 195,000 in 2000. Microsoft was among the companies pushing for both. In March 2007, Bill Gates testified before the Senate HELP Committee. A senator asked him whether the cap should go to 200,000, or 300,000. Gates answered: "even though it may not be realistic, I don't think there should be any limit." He also told Congress we should encourage foreign students "to remain here when they finish their studies." Congress didn't act. So the work moved to the agencies. That November, Microsoft's top Washington lobbyist wrote to DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, following up on a conversation at a private dinner. The pitch was to extend Optional Practical Training, the program that lets foreign graduates work on a student visa. His argument was that "OPT exists solely by regulation." No act of Congress required. On April 8, 2008, DHS did it. The rule stretched OPT to 29 months. It was issued as an interim final rule, which means it took effect with no public comment period. OPT has no annual cap. Read the rule's own justification and you will find this citation: "Testimony of Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft Corporation." 73 FR 18944. It is public, and it is still the law students use today. He is right that there was not an H-1B in that room. The people in it built the pipeline that came after. They built the software. But Microsoft in particular also built the guest-worker pipeline that still sits on top of every American computer science class. They are not the company to be nostalgic about.

Big Tech does not want you to see this video. They want it banned. These men were the architects of Silicon Valley. The creators of arguably the most important software & hardware to exist in human history. They built it all. Not a single H1-B in the room

LEARN TO CODE? Roughly half a million American computer jobs are worked on a temporary visa right now. About 1 in 10 of every computer and math job in the country. Computer Engineering is now the second worst major in America for unemployment. Wonder why.

SAUDI ARABIA WALKS AWAY FROM LIV GOLF The Saudi PIF spent roughly $5 billion, then stopped funding the tour. LIV told its 300-plus staff that most of them finish next week, without saying how many.
India caps foreign employment visas at roughly 20,000. Its labor force is 500 million. That is under 0.01%. The US hands out or renews hundreds of thousands of H-1Bs every year. Indian nationals take about 70% of them. Yet “American Worker First” is controversial?

@Mvl80Vl8 @AFpost @ycombinator You're welcome. India's rules keep foreign employment visas under 0.01% of its labor force, with no work rights for dependents or students without separate approval. Prioritizing citizens this way is standard policy.

US DEPORTATIONS OF INDIAN NATIONALS ARE DOWN 25% IN 2026. India's foreign ministry counts 1,273 Indians deported from the US between Jan 1 and Jul 22, 2026. The same stretch in 2025 was 1,703. That is 430 fewer people, down 25.3%. 2025 finished at 3,567, the highest annual total since 2009. Total since January 2025 is 4,840. All of this lands while enforcement talk keeps getting louder.

Palmer Luckey has entered the debate on American first immigration and is on fucking 🔥 with his takes.
Investors like Paul want the immigration debate to be strictly polar because it is the only way their traitorous ideas might seem reasonable. They paint one side as racist, backwards, economically illiterate absolutists and the other as enlightened, growth-minded cosmopolitian realists. Support for laws that protect American citizens can be dismissed as uneducated, anyone who hires immigrants or foreigners in any capacity a hypocrite. American law should, and does, advantage American citizens. We should not have to compete on an even playing field with billions of people who almost universally don't share our values or respect our institutions, even if they are "the most qualified" or willing to work double the hours for the same wages. The men running Operation Paperclip did not think Americans should have to compete with the entire Third World, they understood that a carefully controlled amount of highly-skilled expert immigration is net good for America even when allegience is in question. It is worth noting that even on a purely economic level, ignoring all burdens of loyalty or allegiance to your countrymen and treating America as nothing but an economic activity zone, it still doesn't make sense to say without qualification that foreigners should get any job where they are more qualified than their American counterpart. As just one easy example out of dozens, about 20% of immigrants return home after less than five years, taking all their savings and vested shares with them. Another 20% will leave within ten years, doing the same. All the while, they will wire, on average, ~15% of their wages out of the United States economy every month. Some occupations and origins average 30%! The idea that this should be completely ignored with regard to employment and immigration policy is rampant among the same people who tell you with a straight face that limits on immigrants will destroy the American economy, that the dumb rednecks need to be saved. I lean very libertarian and have strongly supported immigration to America for many years with countless public examples. That doesn't put me on the same side as the men who want to sell out America, and no amount of long-past accomplishment obliges any of us to listen to their lectures from the other side of the Atlantic.

How about we create “American Citizen” jobs before we move on to saving the working class from robots, Bill.
JUST IN: Bill Gates urges governments to create “Human Reserved” jobs that AI & robots would be prohibited from replacing.
🚨 ORACLE WORKERS ARE BRACING FOR ANOTHER 6AM EMAIL 🚨 September 1 is Tuesday. That is when Oracle's fiscal Q2 starts. Business Insider reports managers were told to submit layoff lists before that date. Some teams face double-digit percentage cuts. The dread comes from March. Thousands of Oracle employees woke up that morning to an email from "Oracle Leadership." It cited business needs, said their role was eliminated, and told them the same day was their last. Access to laptops, email, and files was revoked while people were still reading. Oracle asked for personal email addresses to send the termination paperwork. Now the 6am PTSD is real. Employees on layoff forums describe checking their phones at dawn every day this week, waiting to see if the login still works. The numbers behind it: - Headcount fell from 162,000 to 141,000 in fiscal 2026. 21,000 people, 13% of the company, in one year - Oracle spent $55.7 billion on AI data centers in that same year - It borrowed $43 billion to help fund the buildout - Free cash flow: negative $23.7 billion - Severance booked: $1.84 billion Oracle's own annual filing admits AI adoption "may continue to result in reductions to our workforce." Oracle has not confirmed a single detail. Last time, confirmation arrived at 6am. Watching this closely this week.

On August 3, 2020, the day we met with President Trump in the Cabinet Room, he signed an executive order titled, "Aligning Federal Contracting and Hiring Practices With the Interests of American Workers." The EO directed the then Secretaries of Labor and Homeland Security to assess: (i) whether contractors (including subcontractors) used temporary foreign labor for contracts performed in the United States, and, if so, the nature of the work performed by temporary foreign labor on such contracts; whether opportunities for United States workers were affected by such hiring; and any potential effects on the national security caused by such hiring; and (ii) whether contractors (including subcontractors) performed in foreign countries services previously performed in the United States, and, if so, whether opportunities for United States workers were affected by such offshoring; whether affected United States workers were eligible for assistance under the Trade Adjustment Assistance program authorized by the Trade Act of 1974; and any potential effects on the national security caused by such offshoring. That EO was never acted upon due in large part to Biden moving into the White House. But it has never been rescinded either. It is simply dormant and could be revived by this administration.

You mean… the bullish jobs data to start 2026… wasn’t real? Shocking.
BREAKING: Total nonfarm payrolls were revised down by another -79,000 jobs for the 12 months ending March 31st, 2026, in the BLS's preliminary benchmark revision. This follows last year's record -911,000 revision and marks the 4th consecutive annual downward adjustment, matching the streak that ended in 2010 after the 2008 Financial Crisis. This also marks the 7th downward revision over the last 8 years, with cumulative revisions of nearly -2.5 million jobs over this period. The latest revision was driven by a -178,000 downward adjustment to private payrolls, partly offset by a +99,000 upward revision to government payrolls. The US labor market has been weaker than initially reported for years.

@RonDeSantis Meanwhile, public universities use federal funding to go hire H-1B while laying off Americans. Something’s got to give, Governor.
~8 of every 10 new American jobs since early 2020 went to someone born outside the country. Our March graphic went viral. This is the latest for May data. Down from 9/10. Still high. +3.8M foreign-born. +1.1M native-born. 19.2% of the total workforce is foreign-born.
