What is Iran's situation? Spent money on weapons and spreading terrorism in the Middle East. Spent money to build ballistic missiles and nuclear weapon. What is so special about this country vs North Korea? It has oil.
Now it can't export oil or accessing its money on international state.
Don't bother trying to compare to the USA. We have a different problem. Which country you rather be in? Iran or USA?
I grew up immersed myself in American history. I told countless people in my life: I am grateful for America, and I came here to be American.
John Miano, an attorney with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said the debate speaks to fundamental questions about the role of the United States and its immigration system.
"The center of this dispute is over what America is. I, and I think most Americans, believe America as a nation state; a commonwealth for the improvement of its citizens. Mr. Gupta clearly views America as an [economic] zone. The graves at Arlington and cemeteries around the world are not the product of Americans fighting and dying to save an economic zone. I would not want to share a foxhole with Mr. Gupta," he told Fox News Digital.
He added, "There is no such thing as the [Libertarian] ideal of economics without borders. I would wager that Mr. Gupta opposes open borders regarding intellectual property. The H-1B program is designed to replace Americans with cheap foreign workers. The U.S. Congress is apparently the only national legislature that has voted to make it explicitly legal to replace citizens with foreign workers, as it has done with H-1B. The H-1B wage system is designed to allow employers to pay H-1B nonimmigrants extremely low wages. The biggest problem with H-1B is that it works exactly as Congress designed it to work."
"Our federal (and most state) employment laws mandate a level playing field for American workers vis-à-vis foreigners — yet many American tech (and other) companies prefer to hire cheaper/exploitable foreign workers to do routine jobs Americans could do, and they do this by failing to post jobs on their normal hiring channels (PERM violations), letting foreign-born hiring managers pipeline cheap foreign labor from body-shop mills over American workers (H1-B abuses), lie about their eligibility for no-cap H1-B hiring, abuse other visa categories such as J-1 visas (we see you, universities!), abuse OPT hiring to get cheap, exploitable foreign labor, and sometimes — getting super arrogant, gaslight laid-off and sidelined Americans while doing any of the above," she wrote.
Why would any country not to have the following:
Industrial based
Customers based
Stop focusing on exporting too much.
How's about a test? Put all the smart AI researchers/developers onto an airplane that its software was entirely created by AI. Now tell that airplane to travel around the world with airborne refueling and land at an airport. When will this happen and how many of AI advocates will get on this autonomous airplane?
