I don't disagree with that. Though some did lie on their resumes to get jobs to attain the visas, AI could be used to flag unworthy recent citizens that committed fraud from overseas to attain their citizenship. My wife immigrated without committing fraud and is even more New Right than I am, so there's that. She wants this country preserved, and improved. Not overwhelmed and ultimately degraded. People make a place,…

The way they usually get a job is by first getting higher education in the US, so lying on the resume of any experience abroad doesn't really factor in. The job is mainly on the basis of the domestic education, not the foreign experience. Foreign work experience alone doesn't carry much if any weight for getting employment in the US.

I do not see how I am ignoring the questionable return part. There is lots of data on which educational investments result in more stable cash flow vs less stable cash flow. These same conversations were being had 20+ years ago when I was in college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_basket_weaving Technically, the term wasn't about money at the beginning, but I think by the 1990s and 2000s, when people starte…

> There is lots of data on which educational investments result in more stable cash flow vs less stable cash flow. The whole point of the comment you replied to was that this data is now wrong, as capital has continued to rug pull industries however it benefits them.
