Letter on H1B “temporary workers”
I am a scientist with extensive work
experience with folks expert in advanced
Internet and Unix programming. I might also
remark that almost all developments in
programming, from the start at machine languages
and Fortran, through the latest developments,
advanced browsers and Java, are due to
native-born citizens. We are the third-largest
country in the world already and can certainly
come up with the talent if the rewards are
proportional to the effort. As they would be if
salaries were not undercut by imported labor.
H1B visas are interference with the market.
If no H1Bs, then salaries would go up and smart
citizens who go into other jobs like lawyers and
financiers and physics would go into
programming.
Importing workers interferes with the natural
working of market mechanisms. This should
especially conflict with Republican doctrine; it
is the government interfering with the market.
Republicans might respond that it is a step
toward a completely open world market in
everything. But if so, let's import lawyers,
etc. Their salaries are too high.
“Scientist”
Peter Brimelow (an
imported journalist) writes: I
charted surprisingly high unemployment rates
among e.g. math Ph.Ds in Forbes May 31
1999. The native-born tend to back off
glutted fields, but their place is taken by
foreign students.
The price of Mexican
residency
Apparently, most immigrants from Mexico
wouldn't qualify for immigration to Mexico.

Distortion
So it turns out your article headed "British police

making 'racist' remarks," is actually
about British police going undercover to enforce
laws against HARASSMENT of minority waiters, a
detail conveniently omitted from the
header. And they talk about the 'liberal

the news...

RE: Jane Elliott
From the following site: http://www.hrpress-diversity.com/blueyed.html
"In Blue Eyed, we join a diverse
group of 40 employees from the Midwest - blacks,
Hispanics, whites, women, and men. The blue-eyed
members participate in an exercise that involves
a pseudo-scientific explanations of their
inferiority, culturally biased IQ tests, and
blatant disrespect. In just a few hours under
Elliott's withering regime, we see grown
professionals become despondent and distracted,
stumbling over the simplest commands. Black
members of the group forcefully remind whites
that they undergo similar stresses, not just for
a few hours in a controlled experiment, but
every day of their lives. And Elliott points out
that sexism, homophobia, and ageism are just as
damaging."
There is no way the DOE was
"unaware" of her views. By the way,
the root site http://www.hrpress-diversity.com/
is one scary place.

RE: Bilingualism
Although I agree completely that abolishing
bilingual education is a good thing in and of
itself and needs no further justification, I
would also add that the argument that retaining
immigrant languages would help them or America
in international business is bogus. Most
immigrant kids who aren't from middle-class
families in their countries of origin (i.e.,
almost all of them) speak only rural dialects or
barrio slang. This will help them in a business
meeting in Buenos Aires about as much as a
command of Rastafarian dialect will help one in
a meeting at Lloyds of London. They need to
learn the business-standard versions of their
languages of origin (assuming they want to) in
foreign-language classes at the appropriate age.
Teaching them to speak proper Spanish as youths
in order to teach them subjects in that language
is almost as hard as teaching them English, but
a lot less rewarding.

Bilingual Ed, Vieja y Nueva
Bilingual education
is indeed an abomination, but only because it
replaces the trilingual education which served
as the basis of Western learning for centuries.
We should insist that every American child--
or at least every other American child-- be
taught in Spanish. But we must be careful
to choose the right dialect. Let me
suggest we adopt (or rather re-adopt) the
2000-year-old Spanish of Tácito, Livio, Horacio,
Virgilio, Suetonio, César and Cicerón.
The Rockford Institute is doing just that in
the ghettos of (or perhaps the ghetto that is)
Rockford, Ill. Unfortunately, they took
this announcement off their Web site (http://www.rockfordinstitute.org/
). But note on this associated link the
higher SATs and GPAs of students who choose the
older Spanish over the new: http://www.bolchazy.com/al/latinadv.html

The Economist on Immigration
Recall that two years ago at the Center for
Immigration Studies seminar, Ben Wattenberg
responded to my population query by claiming he
had inside information that Census was going to
revise down its projections. In fact, the new
projections were: Middle series: 404
million for 2050, 571 million by 2100. High
series: 553 million for 2050, 1.2 billion by
2100
Sorry Ben!
Greenspan on Immigration
I heard
Mr. Greenspan state at a recent Senate hearing
that he likes
mass immigration to the
USA as it is a "safety valve against
inflationary pressures."
He should be reminded that back in the 1970's we
had the native born
baby boomers entering the workforce en masse and
we had high inflation.
Most of them, like the
immigrants now, took the entry-level jobs. With
this in mind I have to doubt there is
any "magic" that immigration is
working in the economy. Thanks for a great
website! I have a copy of Mr. Brimelow's book, and I'm glad to see Scott
McConnell on board. I used to love his columns in the NY Post
back in the mid-1990's.

. . . This week Bill Kristol announced that "American conservatism

Washington Post, Feb 2.) The announcement is
similar to one Stalin
might have made in the 1930s about vanishing
Ukrainian kulaks. In any case Bill Buckley was
sufficiently moved by
young Kristol's discovery to devote his weekly column to the problem of an
(apparently) vanishing American Right. In reality, Buckley explains, the Right has
not vanished but is simply
waiting for John McCain
to come out unequivocally for school vouchers. It is in fact
impossible to exaggerate the contemptible
quality of this
column, particularly the combination of
triviality and groveling
before Bill Kristol.

1. Did the

while reducing wages at home and outsourcing
millions of jobs abroad? Oh well, at least we

2. Wasn't Michael

"tighter labor markets"--causes
inflation? Oh well, at least we now know who is
the real enemy: the native-born American worker.
4. Have you ever
noticed that the pro-immigration argument is
always ultimately about food? Oh well, at least
we have a delicious new metaphor for the
