America Needs More Skilled Immigrants To Best The Coronavirus

Jeffrey Miron at The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Jeffrey Miron* *Politics, Americas* Not only do highly skilled immigrants help U.S. companies develop new technologies and innovations; many serve on the front lines of the medical response to COVID-19. Some immigration opponents want lawmakers to cancel the H1B visa lottery, which admits 85,000 skilled immigrants per year. Their position may reflect a belief that high‐​skilled immigration is especially dangerous during the COVID-19 pandemic. If so, they have the analysis backwards.

Thank you for this almost comprehensive report. But no examination is offered of unwilling extraction of sex from a man by a woman, by persistent importuning, exploiting male biological sexual response, or intimidation. Male sexual response to an attractive woman is biologically inherent and necessary for perpetuation of our species. . But the man must consent. When I asked my adult men students how often they were asked for consent from a woman, they laughed. “If you don’t deliver to satisfy her, your reputation will be trashed.”

Why China Should Fear Taiwan's Killer Missiles

China is Taiwan’s number one security concern. Taiwan walks a fine line between keeping tensions with China low, while ensuring security via a credible weapons capability. Historically, this has meant Taiwan’s missiles tend to be more defensive in nature, though more recent missile innovations can strike deeper into mainland China with more precision than their predecessor missiles. *Hsiung Feng III* The Hsi... more »
