About this episode

The episode discusses the failure of the Trump administration to stop the replacement of American workers by foreign labor, featuring insights from attorney John Miano.

American workers have been systematically replaced by foreign labor in more industries than we can count. I’m joined today by attorney John Miano, a computer programmer and fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, to expose how two terms of Trump have done nothing to alter the trajectory. Despite promises of an "America First" immigration policy, the tech industry and corporate America continue to exploit foreign labor loopholes, leaving American graduates locked out of their own job markets. In this deep dive, Miano breaks down how Big Tech lobbies the executive branch, bypasses visa caps using the Optional Practical Training program, and why conservative leadership has failed to deliver meaningful, long-term immigration reform. Also, the courts are a one-way ratchet to greenlight any immigration expansion, but they block any restrictions that are in line with law and precedent. What we are doing is not working.
