It started with Clinton in the 90s. I know because I was working in Silicon Valley selling benefits to employers there. The employers wanted the Indians and the Chinese because they could pay them less and Clinton helped them with the H1B visas.
I can also trace this back to why silicon valley is so un-American. Those people aren’t Americans.
It actually started with Bush I.
Clinton, Bush II and Ovomit just accelerated the process of destroying the American white-collar middle class.
