I must admit that I did not see this new division coming. Is legal immigration a necessity, a means to cut operating costs and/or a symptom of our educational collapse? More issues, more divisions and no one is addressing the real problems or how to fix them.
IF we need to hire immigrants because we have a shortage of skilled and intellectual labor, we should address the causes.
- Foreign labor is cheaper. Indonesian nurses, Indian technicians, and immigration lotteries will not solve the problem for America’s workforce. We all know the impact of dealing with call centers that were outsourced to foreign countries.
- This problem has been ongoing. I noticed it in the nuclear industry in the early 1980’s. Indian “engineers” were cheap solutions for companies to charge high rates to their utility clients. Unfortunately for me, I was paid even less. The Indian engineer next to me earned the nickname “Spanky” since he did little work but stare into space. There were other foreign workers but the experience taught me a valuable lesson: life is not fair. I also learned that the better the quality of your work meant more work assigned as the lead engineers still had to meet deadlines.
- I went back to college for electrical engineering in the 1990s at NC State. I was surprised at the number of engineering students from the Middle East.
- When I went back for bioinformatics in the early 2000s, over 20% of the students were Oriental in this field. I learned that honor was severely lacking in these students.
- One thing I did notice was the culture differences. Most of the students from outside of the United States had no sense of innovation or critical thinking skills. You could assign them a task that should have led them down a path for the next step. When given a task, they went from A to B, then would stop and ask for what to do next when C was the obvious next step.
So how did we get here because both sides in this division have valid points? I could point out how poorly prepared American students have become. Part of this has been the cancel culture imposed to destroy our country by minimizing morality, not rewarding success (everyone is a “winner”) and degraded home environments. The majority of this issue is education. Everyone knows it but nothing changes as teachers are rewarded for failing their students. Teacher unions, gender identity, political propaganda, DEI and corrupted curricula must be eliminated.
Let’s talk about solutions.
- There is no quick solution.
- The major focus must be on educating our children. Indoctrination must stop.
- The quality and performance of teachers must be a priority.
- Security and education at schools can instantly be improved by hiring retired military for teachers. A teaching certificate in today’s world is not helping our children or our future. Home schooling is better than our public schools. Remember the metric that all of the mathematics taught to students from kindergarten through fifth grade can be done in 30 hours: 1 hour a day over six weeks.
- Eliminate pre-K and after school programs designed to babysit children of working parents.
- Reward excellence in our schools. This will solve the main issue we face today: meritocracy has been replaced by DEI.
- Diet and exercise must be part of rebuilding our children’s education. Elimination of fluoride will supposedly restore the 5% drop in intelligence in our children.
Our educational system can be reworked immediately but the rewards of properly educating our children will not be seen for years.
Is this all smoke and mirrors? Profits and cancel culture have brought us to the precipice. Immigration is not the solution. Donald Trump will eliminate the Department of Education. We must eliminate teachers’ unions, tyrannical boards of education and extraneous social engineering from our schools. Immigration is not the short term solution but it is being used to cover the real problem.
Artificial intelligence and robots have to be considered as part of this new paradigm. Manual labor will quickly be replaced by robots in the food and agricultural industry. Skilled trades will be needed as we rebuild our infrastructure. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC and carpenters will be needed for the near future but eventually, construction on small projects will be automated and delivered from a factory. Computer programs will be written by AI and processes will be monitored without the aid of humans.
The unasked question is what to do with the “useless feeders” as the NWO describes most people? While I believe everyone has equal rights under the Constitution, we will be forced to address questions that will try our humanity. Are we responsible for the care and feeding of everyone? What if the person is a criminal with no redeeming attributes? I think the government has proven that the “care” of people is a social construct based on their political agenda. We have to look no further than our back yard in WNC to see how working people are treated. Consider the people who Biden has pardoned based on their heinous crimes. Consider the state of our cities run by Democrats as they decay into chaos.
America has a decision to make that will decide our fate. Do we invest in our children and their future or do we let division and mediocrity destroy it? This latest division is another attempt to achieve a new world order consisting of 500 million people.

Christmas Conflict As Cracks Appear In The MAGA-Tech Alliance
Cracks Appear In The MAGA-Tech Alliance
Elon Musk is arguably more responsible for Donald Trump’s election victory than any single individual other than Trump or his opponent. By buying Twitter (now, X), he provided a platform for Trump and others to counter the mainstream media, and Elon of course endorsed Trump, donated millions to support his campaign, and personally stumped for him in Pennsylvania.
As much as Trump supporters appreciated Elon and other Silicon Valley types like David Sacks helping getting Trump elected, many feared that the price would be more foreign workers for the tech industry. Those fears were validated on Christmas as Elon and others called for just that.
No, we need more like double that number yesterday!
The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low.
Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever…— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 25, 2024
This is about corporations not wanting to meet American standard pay scales. The dollar buys less every year. The workers need to get raises in order to stay even. When the pay gets too high, the corporations can’t compete with foreign companies. IT and computer science are fields that have no borders. Problem. Our government continues to destroy the buying power of the US dollar. We’re screwed. I would disagree that there are no Americans that can do the work. They just avoid doing it for immigrant wages. This situation will continue until the collapse.
We’re being lied to.
There are plenty of Americans with Tech degrees thay can’t find work, or the salary is so depressed its pointless. I have a bachelors degree and 20+ years in a technical trade, and my last job working for someone else was driving a truck, BECAUSE MY CDL LICENSE PAYS MORE!
Street shitting panjeets can’t get their own country out of the 3rd world, wtf do you think they’re going to do here?
Its gaslighting, plain and simple. New crew, same as the old crew. TINVOWOOT people…
30 years ago, I knew a White guy with a master’s degree in computer science. He was hired by Nortel. The Hindu that hired him said that he was going to be the last American they ever hired. He was going to be assigned to human resources. His job was to verify that the Indians being hired had the skills they claimed on their resumes. 30 years ago! What some companies do, is they advertise for new hires in the inner city of places like Detroit. Knowing there will be near zero chance of getting qualified applicants. They then would use that as the excuse to bring in foreign workers.
F these anti-American punjabs. We KNOW that they will hire their own.
Don’t believe me? Watch Vivek this coming year! He CANNOT get past his innate DNA and will populate America with like-minded punjabs, justifying each hire as being a net benefit to we grateful Americans.
F them. I’m not buying this. WE, here in the U.S., were ALWAYS the INNOVATORS; it is the Israelis, the Japanese and the Indians (dot, not feather) who stole our tech, reverse-engineered same, then sold it back to us!
We are BEYOND STUPID!
Your 100% right Joe Blow, TINVOWOOT.
Up-check.
And, there are THOUSANDS of fairly recently displaced American STEM workers who were forced to the curb by Disney and other Corps in order to replace them with lower-salaried H1B punjabs from EEEn-Dya and Paki.
Re-hire these AMERICANS and get them the F out of their parents’ basements.
(Maybe then they will stop their games of “Chicken” with Fentanyl-contaminated drugs)!
The only people earning the high figures are those being given Federal Gov jobs. $125,000 for clerks that sit on their asses for 7 hours cruising the internet and processing about 4 documents a week. Their main objective is keep their mouths shut and not piss anyone off.
The lack of critical thinking and innovative skills is indeed the greet cultural divide as well l noted. The same thing is extrapolated to AI and robotics. great imitators but they will lack innovation always as it cannot be programmed in. .
The NWO ARE the useless feeders. You gave a good explanation for why India has many intelligent and educated people but much of it is a dump.
Great commentary from an extremely sharp mind.

Sounds like by the comments most don’t believe in our history of the melting pot theory. Greater way of living always has its cost, growing up in what some would call today a poor life style, I was taught by parents who had only standard education, well at least my mom did out of them both. BUT, their example of hard work with pride, better yourself as you go and never get greedy, but strive to make the next generation better than your own.
Somehow the American way of life has changed, has our lifestyle got easier. With Mr. Coffee maker, 4-slice toaster, microwaves and all the fancy gadgets to helps us live life simpler and have more time to have on hand for our family and friends. Instead of enjoying the more time, we had more time to stay busier and add stress to our life instead of relaxing and Thanking God for all the benefits.
We like to pass the blame for our own ways that have created the circumstances we are now facing. Instead of getting involved we let our neighbors, friends do our bidding. Rather it’s voting the jerks that make laws we hate, etc. Letting a few in society take prayer, Ten Commandments and Bible out of our schools. Allowed abortion on demand for 50+ years, ETC! Or not being content with our lifestyle and felt we had to keep up with the jones. Trusting doctors more than God, stop parenting our children to grow up to be pillars in the community.
Our biggest problem has been just like the children of Israel, go against God’s laws and sin. And when God let them wander and even displace them as prophesied. They were stiff neck toward God. We are doing the same by not turning and seek his face as ‘A Nation’ and ask forgiveness. We now wonder how we got here and what to do. We Have No One To Blame BUT Ourselves!
II Chronicles 7:14
You are correct. But the immediate need now is to halt the juggernaut of Musk, Vivek, the Golden Golem and others who want to flood this country with H1Bs who are going to replace us. I recently retired as a Sub at a local charter school in Kootenai County, ID. There were plenty of academically qualified (science, math, etc.) AMERICAN students who could go into these fields. Also, there are several STEM schools here in North ID. Mr. Trump better jerk Elon and Vivek’s leashes ASAP or his labor union support will be in the toilet and midterms will be a disaster for that draft-dodging blowhard again.
Eliminate the concept of a nanny state and put it back on the parents’. Simple.
Okay, okay, BUT they are working ’round the clock to bring manufacturing back to the USA. Yes, they’re going to use automation to the max… “humanoid robots” for assembly lines, and they need engineers and supply chain wizards to plot this out, and a bazillion little specialized businesses to take care of that crucial supply chain… ALL of it in our country.
Most of the top level jobs need to shift from bean counters to real builders. Bean counters are outmoded and everyone with bean counting degrees will be doing more harm than good in many, many situations.
I don’t think Elon would be avid to hire imported people if he could get enough citizens. Maybe I’m dreamin’ but I think maybe we really DO have a shortage of people qualified to get this up and running… AND it seems to me it will end up with as many or more job and business opportunities as we have now.
We need dragged into the 3rd Millennium something fierce. Whatever we do, we should try our hardest not to drag it back or down any harder than is absolutely mandatory for survival.
I’ve been watching and listening. Finding out about some of the tech billionaires, and I’m thinking fully half of them are more patriotic and more competent and more altruistic than your average fat cat. They’ve got stars in their eyes and a flourishing country in their hearts.
So be reasonable, people. This could be VERY good for us.
I graduated college, electrical engineering, in Jan 1996. There were few jobs to be had. I wound up working as a repair tech of vending machine controllers and doing phone support. I wasn’t happy and enrolled in grad school at a local state university in Computer Engineering. One of the core classes was in microprocessor architecture. The class was easily half Chinese. They all sat on one side of the room.
The subject of math, and twos complement arithmetic came up. They repeatedly asked, “how does the computer know if the number is positive or negative?” Answer: it doesn’t, that’s up to the programmer. They’d ask the same stupid question over and over. Eventually one would get it, say, “Ahh”, followed by a bunch of unintelligible vowels, the rest would go, “Ah” and all would start gibbering unintelligible vowels.
When it came to test day, they all spread out so they would have an American near them. I don’t think I ever do cautiously hid my test paper before.
Eventually I enrolled in a local private university, luckily one of the top engineering schools in the country. Rather than 2s complement, we studied parallel processing, pipe lining, instruction score boarding, micro operations, bus architecture, etc.
In the recent years, I’ve interviewed EE students from UNC Charlotte. The results of what they don’t know are amazing and abysmal. I mean basics, like applying ohms law and the power triangle (real, reactive, and complex). Sad, is what it is.
EE here also. Graduated 1981 and retired just last year, never really had a problem finding a job. I sympathize with the Americans affected by H1B visas but I also understand the other side of the equation also.
In the last company that I worked for (large automotive supplier in the Detroit area) it was always difficult to hire good, qualified engineers. The company would rarely pay for visas and finding good engineers locally was always a struggle. When I left the company last year we had several open engineering positions that we had been trying to fill for over two years. Lots of “experienced” engineers would apply and when we would bring them in for interviews they were quite lacking in knowledge and experience.
The company (headquartered in Japan with a huge engineering center there) also has smaller branch engineering offices globally (Europe, Mexico and South America) so the open positions sometimes temporarily filled by personnel from other locations. Japanese engineers were OK but the language barrier sucked. Surprisingly some of the best engineers that I ever worked with were Mexican. The engineering schools in Mexico seem to be more focused on actual technology than schools in the USA which seem to focus mostly on woke.
We will never have enough talented white people in the STEM fields until we have a stable form of money. So households can be one earner and children can be raised to be their best. With a parent at home full time the local community will be paid more attention and schools held to account for lack of quality education. Say what you want, but the boomer generation was mostly raised right. Which culture was then destroyed by inflation and pursuit of a “better lifestyle”.
Yes and no, sir. My brother and I were boomers. Mom went back to work when I was in 6th grade and my brother in 4th grade. She did this because she and my father took us out of government schools because we were not learning anything. Catholic schools required tuition. Between Sister Mary Hercules and Father Vader, we received a good (and disciplined) educational foundation.
If we got out of hand when we were home alone, the consequences were severe and immediate. We were quick learners. And there was no leftist bitch “educator” with purple hair, a pierced nostril and a pentagram tattoo on her bicep to indoctrinate us about “our rights”. Amerika was indeed another country back in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. It started going downhill when JFK was murdered and our institutions kept lying to us over and over again. Sad.
Sounds like my childhood: mostly Catholic school from K-12, Sister Mary Tabernacle Door Half-Open, who whaled the scheisse out of me on a regular basis.To try to correct my handwriting (one size fits, all, you see)!For worse infractions I was sent to the principal’s office--where I had to grab the desk and hang on for my board of education discipline.God! How I hated those nuns; they truly despised we boys--and the girls could do no wrong. I have never stoped hating them!That was the inception (around 2nd grade) of my agnosticism. Thanks, Sister Mary!DTW, our Nation has strayed so far from the 50’s & early 60’s that it is unrecognizable to me. And, there is no turning this around.Demographics is unyielding--and unforgiving.Michael Savage has said (paraphrasing), “to be a nation we must have three essential elements: a common language, shared values (of what it means to BE American) and intact borders.”We are 0 for 3, thus, we are TOAST!
Yes sir, we are toast. Plan accordingly. Bleib ubrig.
If your solutions don’t include completely eliminating any and ALL government involvement in education and returning all of it to a competitive free market, then nothing will ever change.
Probably the best solution for education. It’s also the reason that private/church based schools have grown at such a pace here in Florida. Parents have better control of their children’s education that way. It won’t happen overnight but I’ll settle for getting fedgov out of schools entirely. And that means both money and control. We can work on our individual States after that, until it’s down to local control only.
Go to San Jose California. Last time I was there was late 1990’s. People from India had all the restaurant and hotel jobs. H1B visa folks bringing their entire extended families with them. Also, they get all the donut shops and 7/11’s because they get government grants that no one else is entitled to. It gives them the money for the down payment on the business. They don’t have to pay that money back. They know how to work the system. They are very organized.
