The Gaetz move I 110% agree with you that it was a huge win for the House to get him out. The H1B visa controversy to me people are really missing a key point and its yes we have US citizens that need jobs but those people are often not in STEM fields. Now in the CHIPS and Science Act, we created and built a pipeline but the results will take 10 years. H1B visas allow the US to poach some of the best minds from other countries and tbh away from China.

H1B has also gotten mixed with the idea that members on both sides are looking at, which would allow a path to a green card and citizenship if American institutions educate you. Right now we are educating a ton of people who are then leaving and going to China and other places because they cant stay in the US once they graduate. China has waived its rules if you have skills they want so you can stay and Congress is looking at doing the same here.
