S15 EP165: Hour 2 - The H1B Complaint
Summary
Eric Erickson analyzes the rising far-right movements in Europe and the US, linking them to unaddressed immigration concerns and the abuse of the H-1B visa program. He criticizes Beau French for racist comments against American citizens of Indian descent, arguing that legitimate frustration over job displacement is morphing into racism due to political inaction. Erickson also discusses the bond market’s rejection of the Trump administration’s fiscal policies and the latest polling data suggesting a potential Democratic wave in the midterms, while urging listeners not to panic.
