Tight labor markets are good for workers. As an accountant I have seen that play out in realtime. I’m a liberal Democrat who wants to see working people get their fair share of American prosperity. The Dems have turned their backs on working people and now we all pay the price.

As Florida Governor, I'll end the H-1B scam so our workers (especially recent grads) can get jobs again.

@MarcoFoster_ @jamestalarico It's a stupid and vague analogy that's devoid of any specifics. He spent no time talking about when the door needed to be locked, it was all about how we should open the door to a third world workforce of unlimited size.

American Jobs must go to Americans FIRST. Any company engaging in abuse of the H-1B Visa program will be held accountable.

@profstonge Ford’s “we can’t find 5,000 mechanics at $120k” line falls apart the moment you read the fine print. That $120k figure isn’t for turning wrenches on F-150s in a dealership bay. It’s the inflated “total compensation” number Ford quotes for senior-level EV battery technicians,

DNR the Visa Renewal Path America trains registered nurses in under three years, preparing them to save lives on day one. If our healthcare system can train lifesavers that quickly, then Amazon can train an American for a tech job in the same time. Every H-1B renewal proves

NEW: Many IT firms are posting job ads that unlawfully bar applications from US citizens. Several of the firms are minority-owned—meaning they receive preferential access to government contracts at the same time that they exclude US workers. We've found dozens of examples.🧵

Why are we allowing Poland Spring to extract our drinking water for profit? This is bullshit. It needs to stop.

NEW: Poland Spring is raking in millions by bottling and selling Maine's water — and throwing their weight around in state politics to keep profits flowing. During a drought this year, they publicly said they were cutting back. But we found evidence they're pumping even more.

I'm so sick of people splitting hairs over illegal immigration. If you enter the country without legal permission, you have broken the law. If you remain in the country without legal permission, you are breaking the law. Illegal immigration is against the law.

Do you remember when @DanielDiMartino ‘s @ManhattanInst report claimed the U.S. could reduce the debt by $20T by selecting “better” immigrants? Today’s ITServe video shows: • half their income remitted to India • offshore labor substitution • coordination with a foreign

TODAY: My new @ManhattanInst report estimates the deficit, GDP, and population impact of immigrants by legal status, education, age, race, and origin. I propose reforming immigration to SELECT better immigrants and reduce the debt by $20 trillion over 30 years.
