OPINION: Prioritizing American Students in Admissions and Visa Policy

Like two ships passing in the night, proponents and opponents of H1-B visas can’t see the forest through the trees. The void of American workers for qualified H‑1B positions was really caused by the ever-increasing scale and relaxed requirements of F‑1 student visas, and universities depending on international enrollment to balance budgets.

Wikipedia Editors Pushed ‘Far-right’ Smear Against Charlie Kirk Following Assassination

Following the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk one month ago today, Wikipedia editors responded by smearing Kirk across multiple articles even as tens of millions viewed the pages and high-level site leaders monitored them.
