Michelle Malkin and John Miano investigate how business leaders and politicians have betrayed American workers through immigration policies that favor cheap foreign labor. The authors challenge three widespread claims about worker shortages in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. They argue that America does not face a crisis-level shortage of skilled workers, that companies can operate without unlimited foreign labor imports, and that current laws fail to protect American employees despite requirements to hire citizens first. Malkin and Miano identify specific individuals and organizations responsible for mass layoffs of qualified American workers. They examine how tech industry billionaires and their political allies have avoided serious public examination of their practices and motivations. The book promises to replace misleading narratives with factual evidence about immigration policy impacts on the American workforce.
