One of the most salient aspects of Sowell and why he’s so rational compared to so many others is his defining characteristic is asking “what is the tradeoff”. It’s the defining characteristic of modern conservatism, what do we get for x, what are the benefits and what are the costs. In this aspect we are now faced with in the current zeitgeist is “what is the tradeoff of H1Bs”. Why are corporations so hell bent on H1B, what are the ramifications, and who does it benefit? This has been the delineation between morality, reason, and practice. I’m posting this as food for thought. Who benefits and at what cost?

Debaters in this arena constantly talking about "highly skilled" immigrants, white DEI etc etc are not debating in good faith. The reality is that H1Bs does not bring in highly skilled workers. American citizens must be afforded an advantage in employment by American companies or else why would we justify tariffs? By the same argument, favouring American companies over foreign companies is another form of DEI.
The ultimate problem is that feminism has corrupted our education system but none of the discussion even refers to any measures to restore balance for American men.
