It's because our universities and the teachers they produce have been intentionally sabotaged for more than a century, largely through the machinations of globalist foundations.
Dodd Report to the Reese Committee on Foundations, 1954. Look it up.
I don’t disagree with that - but as mentioned, that’s not a problem we can solve right this second. I suggest we get started on it, but for right now, we bluntly need people to fill those roles if we want to maintain/re-establish supremacy in many fields and fill other needs.
One way to fix the H1B type systems (and again, the contract I am working is one that will not and cannot hire anyone but American citizens, so this won’t benefit me at all) would be to allow companies to import temporary workers with some additional vetting... but if you need them so badly, you should have no problem paying them at least three times (this could be adjusted higher) the going pay for a position.
This would completely kill the idea of using the system to bring in cheap workers to replace Americans - but if a company really desperately needed someone’s expertise and literally could not find talent domestically, they could. There could also be a tax added on top of that, which would generate revenue for the government.
