Hany Girgis @ SanDiegoKnight 🚨 This may be one of the most important H-1B arguments I’ve heard. MIT economist and Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu, himself a former H-1B immigrant, says America’s reliance on skilled immigration has created a dangerous incentive: instead of FIXING #American #education and DEVELOPING American #talent, elites can simply IMPORT the skills they need. His point is devastating. America has MILLIONs of kids STRUGGLING academically, while we’re constantly told employers must recruit overseas because Americans don’t have the necessary skills. Acemoglu says we’ve effectively “given up on the education of Americans” because skill gaps can be filled by importing workers. Think about that incentive. Why spend 15 years fixing K-12 education? Why build serious STEM pipelines? Why train Americans? Why force companies to invest in entry-level workers? Just import someone already trained. Skilled immigration should supplement American talent, not become an excuse for failing to develop it. And this isn’t coming from someone who opposes skilled immigration. Acemoglu explicitly says he wants skilled immigration, while also restoring America’s commitment to educating its own citizens. That’s the conversation we should be having. 1/3 👇 breitbart.com/economy/2026/08/19/mit-economist-h1b-program-cripple-schooling-for-american-k12-kids/
