Restricting H-1Bs for high-skilled immigration to the US will shrink access to the global talent pool that has contributed substantially to US innovation, productivity, jobs, & earning opportunities for all Americans, just as China is opening its doors to these workers. @m_clem:

NEW: If successful, the H-1B change would severely damage the most important channel for US entry by workers with advanced degrees & specialized knowledge, causing profound & widespread harm to Americans’ incomes & job opportunities. piie.com/blogs/realtime…

In April, @m_clem warned eliminating Optional Practical Training would cause permanent losses to US innovation, productivity, economic growth, & job opportunities for both less-educated native workers & more educated native workers. Now it might happen. piie.com/blogs/realtime…

Seems like a good time to re-up this excellent piece by @m_clem. Mass deportations *will* backfire on US workers piie.com/blogs/realtime…

Countries long associated with emigration are now rich enough to have passed their migratory peak. Meanwhile 94% of sub-Saharan Africans live in countries with GDP/person of less than $10,000. African migration is “an unstoppable force," @m_clem says.economist.com/briefing/2025/…

The largest channel for overseas talent remaining in the US, Optional Practical Training (OPT), is under threat. @m_clem finds slashing OPT would cause permanent losses to US innovation, productivity, economic growth, & job opportunities native workers.piie.com/blogs/realtime…


A new book by @PeterBoettke and Candela is something to celebrate. This one brings together some of their crucial insights—which have inspired me—on the symbiosis between institutionalized liberty and productive specialization. Taproot of wealth. amazon.com/HISTORICAL-PAT…
