Social media posts by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy arguing in favor of expanding the visa program for highly skilled workers have set off a debate among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump over how the program should fit into the incoming administration’s aggressive immigration agenda.
How so? 25% of FAANG workers are foreign-born and the growth of US tech labor is significantly lower than the demand. Are there policy proposals for addressing that while remaining globally competitive?
The growth is lower than the demand, so salaries should be skyrocketing, right? But that’s not what the numbers show. So I think you’re using the word “demand” in rather specific way.
Exactly what I’m trying to argue. It’s also a strange issue on the left where progressivism in the form of increased job security and regressivism in the form of nativist immigration policy clash.

No. The domestic labor growth is lower than the demand, so the demand is met with the foreign workers necessary.
Could and should are two separate issues. They could do it only with us workers it would just be ruinous.
