TSMC Arizona Plant Lands Historic $6.6B Federal Grant To Accelerate US Chip ProductionNicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate in 2024, said on Thursday that the H1-B visa program delivers “massive breaks” for cheap labor for tech companies, and those with the visas are essentially “indentured servants” for big tech. The selection of Siriam Krishnan as a senior policy adviser for artificial intelligence in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has sparked a widespread debate over the H1-B visa program, which conservatives have railed as “abusive” and designed to undercut wages of white-collar Americans. Vivek Ramaswamy further enflamed the controversy when he claimed that America “has venerated mediocrity over excellence.” Shanahan weighed into the debate, stating emphatically that the visa program has been abused to serve as corporate welfare, as it delivers “massive breaks” for cheap labor for big tech, and that these visa workers are “indentured servants” for big tech companies. A Rasmussen Reports poll found that a majority of likely American voters believe that the country does not need more foreign H1-B visa workers to fill white-collar jobs. Breitbart News has long reported the countless incidents where white-collar Americans are laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements. She is no stranger to the world of big tech; she was a fellow at Stanford Law School’s CodeX, Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, and used to be married to Sergey Brin, one of the two founders of Google. “I take issue with some of the discourse I’ve read online today suggesting “lazy American culture” is the main driver for why we need to continue the H-1B program. Let’s be real: tech companies getting massive breaks on cheap labor at the expense of the American way of life is predatory,” Shanahan wrote. She continued: The system we’ve constructed with H-1B visas, whether we like it or not, incentivizes people to come here and serve as essentially indentured servants for Big Tech, taking on the tough, grueling jobs that few here in America are excited to perform at the current suppressed salaries. In return, if you’re good at your job, you’re then put on a fast track to get a Green Card, which means legal status and the chance to bring your family over through chain migration. Shanahan also took issue with the notion that companies have to bring in untold numbers of H1-B visa holders because America has a culture of pursuing their passions: Just because our kids have the “right” to chase artistic dreams like music and painting, doesn’t mean we should bring in hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to displace them in math-intensive careers. It’s a two-fold issue: both our education and immigration policies are broken. Instead of tackling these complex issues head-on, Big Tech monopolies and tech VCs are looking for the fastest way to outcompete globally and become industry giants. It’s paid off—look at the insane valuations of these companies! We can’t entirely blame them for this approach—it’s been the industry norm for 40 years—but we can insist they seek out the tough, lasting solutions. No more temporary fixes. Shanahan called for reform to prevent abuse to America’s immigration policies: 1. Immigration policy must be designed to protect the American way of life and its workforce. Singapore’s work permit program, which they designed in the ’90s, was built from this standard and could provide good inspiration. They use a modern-day designation system to manage the influx of labor across various sectors. ⁃ Employers face levies (essentially fees that employers have to pay for each foreign worker they hire. It’s a way to manage the number of foreign workers coming in by making it more expensive to employ them, encouraging companies to also look for talent locally). ⁃ There are Dependency Ceilings, which essentially limit the number of foreign workers based on the local workforce—this is KEY. ⁃ They impose restrictions on the countries from which workers can come. ⁃ Permits are diversified across industries to ensure balance. 2. Special economic zones are amazing and can transform local tech job markets. Hiring locally is going to be critical for making sure Americans are taking key tech industry roles AND able to support their families. Sean Moran is a policy reporter for Breitbart News.

The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. Also Read | US Embassy in India Scripts Record, Issues 1 Million Visas for Second Consecutive Year. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer, a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump's selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the US. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves.

Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks, whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. and Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government, weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire US workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect, was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut US citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the US illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration, including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for US workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order, which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club, and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B programme for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in US history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from US colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

Legendary quarterbacks and former rivals Tom Brady and Eli Manning had a fun exchange on social media over their fishing photos. After Manning threw the first jab with a photo of him holding a bigger fish than Brady's "cute minnow," Brady fired back with a question referencing David Tyree's famous helmet catch from Super Bowl XLII: Manning's bigger fish is yet another win he can claim over Brady, as he was victorious in both their Super Bowl meetings in 2007 and 2011. In the first one, Manning completed a crucial pass to Tyree, who held onto the ball against his helmet to help set up the go-ahead touchdown. Manning and Brady have since both embarked on successful broadcasting careers after retiring from football, so perhaps their friendly competition will continue in new ways going forward.

● The Greater Stouffville Chamber of Commerce has inducted inaugural members of the new Greater Stouffville Business Hall of Fame. ● The initiative recognizes local pioneers who have played pivotal roles in shaping Stouffville’s business community. ● 2024 honourees include Marvin, Keith, and the late Ken Betz of Betz Pools; Percy and the late Harry and Wesley Schell of Schell Lumber; Graydon Card of Card’s Appliances; Jay Reesor of Reesor’s Market; and sisters Patti Thompson, Debbi Conzelmann, Robin Kelly, and Jackie Fisher of King Cole Ducks. ● To honour the inductees, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville will create a commemorative wall at Town Hall in 2025. ● A celebratory dinner hosted by the Chamber on Nov. 26 introduced the Hall of Fame members and highlighted their contributions to Stouffville. “The Greater Stouffville Business Hall of Fame was created to recognize the trailblazers who helped shape Stouffville’s business landscape,” Chamber President David Elie said in his opening remarks. “It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of leadership, vision, and hard work, celebrates the spirit of entrepreneurship, and drives the community forward.” The event drew more than 230 attendees, including Mayor Iain Lovatt, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, York Region Chairman Wayne Emmerson, Stouffville’s Ward Councillors, and senior Town Staff, as well as local business owners and residents. Lovatt, Scarpitti, and Emmerson joined Chamber board members to introduce the Hall of Fame inductees. “Stouffville has been incorporated for 147 years, and in that time there have been significant businesses established that have become foundational to our local identity,” Lovatt told Bullet Point News. “The inaugural inductees to the Business Hall of Fame are and will continue to be synonymous with Stouffville, and I was proud to play a small role in honouring them last evening.” Marvin and Keith Betz of Betz Pools, alongside their late father Ken, were inducted for their regional and international successes in pool construction and custom backyard design. The company was founded by Ken in 1945 after a client’s request for a custom pool during a home-building project, and they were recognized for their efforts in hiring locally whenever possible. Graydon Card was honoured for his customer-focused approach through nearly six decades as owner of Card’s Appliances, a family business established in 1968. Originally a hardware store, the business transitioned its focus to appliances in 1994 and has become a community fixture. Now 84, Card is a founding member of the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Commerce and remains active in the business, which is now run by the next generation of the Card family. Jay Reesor, a prominent figure in the Markham and Stouffville communities, was recognized for his contributions to local agriculture and business. Building on his family’s farming legacy dating back to 1804, Reesor founded Reesor’s Farm Market and Reesor’s Market & Bakery. He began his career in 1984 and has recently passed the business to younger members of the Reesor family. Percy and the late Harry and Wesley Schell were welcomed to the Hall of Fame for their contributions to Stouffville through Schell Lumber, originally founded in 1922 as the Stouffville Planing Mill. Now operated by the fourth generation, the business has been instrumental in home construction throughout the community and is well known for supporting local sports teams and events. Sisters Patti Thompson, Debbi Conzelmann, Robin Kelly, and Jackie Fisher, granddaughters of King Cole Ducks Ltd. founder James Murby, were awarded their place for growing the family business into Canada’s largest producer of duck products. Processing approximately 2.5 million ducks annually, the company has earned accolades for its sustainable agricultural practices, environmental efforts, and global reach, as well as their downstream production of compost. Nominations and selections for the Hall of Fame were made by the Greater Stouffville Chamber’s board of directors and staff through community consultation. The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has also offered a wall in the Municipal Offices building to recognize Hall of Fame members. “I’m excited to announce that we have a permanent home for the Hall of Fame in the new year,” said Christian Buhagiar, the Chamber’s Executive Director. ““Our inaugural inductees, along with all of our future inductees, will be showcased and honoured right outside Council Chambers. So our business community can make sure it keeps an eye on Council, as well,” he joked. The dinner also marked the Chamber’s formal rebranding announcement. Formerly known as the Whitchurch-Stouffville Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Stouffville Chamber now boasts a membership of approximately 400 businesses and organizations. Its updated identity is meant to reflect its growing place within the region’s business community. “This new identity will serve as a beacon for the collaborative spirit we strive to represent,” Buhagiar said. “It captures the spirit and ambition of the Chamber and our community and aligns with our mission to unlock greatness and shine a spotlight on all the potential that lies within the greater Stouffville region.”None
