history.

My basic view here is that it is inconsistent with a free society, with limited government, for the state to conscript private people into carrying out its goals.

The left has for decades tried to eliminate the difference between public and private actors.

So we end up with woke mandates on businesses to micromanage their demographics.

divest from non-woke industries, mandate health care or vaccines, and on and on.

If the government wants to engineer society, it should have to do so without conscripting us, free people, in its efforts.

Targeting Americans isn't immigration enforcement.

until the point at which they did not have access uh you know to to the cheap labor um and so you know i think in the first instance just to answer your question um the immigrant population is uh the the lion's share of the problem but i think the analysis could then be applied to temporary visa programs such as the hua h2b um to the extent that employers have access to low cost foreign labor that will keep wages down or lower than they would otherwise be for domestic citizen workers and forestall the investments necessary to drastically increase the productivity of a sector that has seen rather stagnant productivity rates.
