In this brief commentary, Kevin Lynn, Executive Director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy and Founder of U.S. Tech Workers, challenges economist Jeffrey Sachs' perspectives on America's economic divide. Lynn argues that contrary to Sachs' view that education access and "upskilling" are the primary barriers for American workers, the real issue is displacement of qualified American tech professionals through visa programs like H-1B, L-1, and STEM OPT. Drawing on both statistical evidence and first-hand accounts from displaced workers, Lynn makes the case that these programs artificially suppress wages and create barriers for American STEM professionals despite their qualifications.

H-1B Visas and American Tech Workers: A Response to Jeffrey Sachs

In this electrifying discussion between host Kevin Lynn and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo, the conversation unveils how the first 100 days of Trump's new administration has fundamentally reshaped global economic dynamics. Luongo passionately explains how Trump is dismantling decades of financial colonialism by ripping "the bandaid off global trade imbalances" that have existed since the 1950s.

With remarkable candor, he describes how the shift to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) has finally given America control over its own cost of capital after generations of external manipulation.

The podcast captures a pivotal moment in economic history as Trump prepares to negotiate with China, isolate the European Union, and potentially end the Ukraine conflict—all while establishing the foundation for domestic tax cuts. According to Luongo, these bold moves have triggered desperate responses from globalist powers who see their long-standing financial dominance slipping away, making this period one of the most consequential geopolitical inflection points in modern history.

Kevin Lynn, Executive Director of The Institute for Sound Public Policy and founder of U.S. Tech Workers, discusses bulletin board notices about refugee resettlement during a walk through Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lynn critiques various flyers supporting refugees, challenging claims about refugee benefits, resettlement statistics, and the role of non-governmental organizations. He argues that the Biden administration expanded refugee definitions inappropriately, supports President Trump's funding cuts to resettlement programs, and suggests that student activists don't understand the economic and social consequences of refugee policies.

I want to put forward a CRAZY fear:

We’re trying to figure out how to go back to doing science *without* creating pesky fiercely independent secure American Scientists.

No more Feynmans. No more Watsons.

Just business leaders, AI, military contractors, engineers, visa holders.

Wow… Jordan Bardella, the successor of national populist leader Marine Le Pen is likely to be the next President of France.

At 32, he’ll be a younger leader of France than even Napoleon or Macron

Not a single reporter has asked the right question on this issue:

The visas used to bring in specialist foreign workers for “training” or for helping set up manufacturing facilities are the E-2, B-1, and L-1 visas. So why is the White House conflating this with H-1B visas?

Perhaps it is time for an immigration moratorium.

Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt

An illegal alien breaks into our country, cheats our system, racks up DUI arrests, pops out four anchor babies, and then steals a working-class American's identity—costing him thousands of dollars.

The media says the illegal is a victim.

There really is no low for these people.
