Gambling on Green Cards (ft. Dr. Ron Hira)

In this episode of Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Dr. Ron Hira, a Howard University professor and expert on skilled immigration, to unpack the broken H-1B visa system and its impact on U.S. workers. Dr. Hira exposes how the program’s random lottery—flooded by outsourcing giants—prioritizes cheap labor over merit. He reveals a staggering 25:1 imbalance: 1.5 million guest workers chase just 60,000 green cards, creating a system that’s anti-worker for both foreigners and Americans. Hira debunks the STEM shortage myth, citing stagnant wages and record U.S. graduates amid tech layoffs. Tune in for a deep dive into policy failures, corporate exploitation, and what’s at stake for America’s workforce. Catch Dr. Hira’s work at Howard University, epi.org, and @Ron_Hira on X.
