Listen Later

To discuss the Christmas Day MAGA civil war over H1Bs and the future of US immigration policy, ChinaTalk interviewed Divyansh Kaushik, a computer science PhD and vice president of Beacon Global Strategies. 

We get into…

  • Pro-immigrant attitudes among Trump’s allies in Silicon Valley
  • Creative political maneuvering that could make high-skill immigration reform a reality
  • Whether Vivek is right about American culture aspiring to normalcy
  • Other areas where Elon and the tech right might spend their political influence 
  • How nativist backlash could influence Trump’s agenda
  • Why India has yet to produce an influential, home-grown AI lab


    • Special thanks to Mani Subramani, Gauri Subramani, and our anonymous contributor who grew up in China for sharing their reflections on immigrant parenting.
