  • the low wage immigrants that earn significantly higher than even the median American wage, and where it is literally required to pay above the “prevailing wage” for workers doing similar jobs…

    and lying about who’s able to get an H-1B with “dog-trainers, massage therapists, cooks, and English teachers”

    H-1B has obvious flaws (like the difficulty in switching jobs and lack of pathway towards permanent residence) but his main criticisms of them in his statement show ignorance at best, other than the obvious one being that the megacorps do use them to get exploitable workers and there should be better protections for workers.
















  • I mean, if you are to judge the country by the worst amongst them, there is basically not a single country with an ounce of morality — but Ben Gvir and Smotrich etc. would never manage to get that to happen because the West Bank means more to them and Bibi knows it, and it’s also more strategically wise for them to leave Gaza alone and quietly continue settling the West Bank. Even during this war Bibi has claimed that they won’t try to settle Gaza, and again, why would they? Most Israelis don’t want it, the US doesn’t want it, not even the fairly right-wing Netanyahu wants it, and it’d cost massive political capital for very little gain.
