MEDIA: For Immigration Hawks Trump and Musk, H-1Bs Are an Exception

Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum on what will be
the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV headcounts
and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-DeRemer's
BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Donald Trump's second term:

| But the sway of Musk and Silicon Valley leaders who backed Trump's
| election lends a powerful counterweight to figures like Stephen
| Miller, who would use any tool available to curb hiring of foreign
| workers.
|
| Miller, as a White House official in the previous Trump
| administration, orchestrated a regime of new hurdles for both
| unauthorized and legal immigration. Now as deputy chief of staff, he
| could face bigger pushback from business leaders within Trump's
| orbit--at least when it comes to work-based visa programs.

Will American STEM workers reward Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance with
Trump's third term if Trump chooses the Cheap Labor Lobby over
legacy American proles?

"That "missing link" between man and ape, that transitional period
between civilization and favela, is more complicated than mere
demography. In a nation with democratic elections, the people who
stand to lose the most must, at least to some degree, be persuaded
to willingly surrender their advantage. Like any good
anthropologist, it's that "transitional fossil" that fascinates me."
