    How so? 25% of FAANG workers are foreign-born and the growth of US tech labor is significantly lower than the demand. Are there policy proposals for addressing that while remaining globally competitive?

      The growth is lower than the demand, so salaries should be skyrocketing, right? But that’s not what the numbers show. So I think you’re using the word “demand” in rather specific way.

        No. The domestic labor growth is lower than the demand, so the demand is met with the foreign workers necessary.

      Could and should are two separate issues. They could do it only with us workers it would just be ruinous.

        Exactly what I’m trying to argue. It’s also a strange issue on the left where progressivism in the form of increased job security and regressivism in the form of nativist immigration policy clash.
