WATCH: Dave Brat exposes how H-1B visas are gutting wages and making America unaffordable
America is becoming unaffordable for its own citizens, and the labor market is no longer free. Economist and former congressman Dave Brat joins Elizabeth Farah to explain how H-1B visas, mass immigration, and corporate labor replacement are driving down wages, hollowing out service jobs, and pricing Americans out of homes, family life, and economic stability.
Brat walks through the fundamentals most politicians avoid. The labor market is flooded while the number of jobs stays fixed. Corporations import cheaper foreign workers instead of training Americans. Wages fall as housing, education, and basic living costs surge. GDP and stock market highs mask a deeper collapse in affordability for working families.
Elizabeth presses Brat on what this looks like in real life. Young Americans cannot buy homes until their forties. College graduates train foreign replacements for their own jobs. Service work, tech support, insurance processing, and coding are offshored to India while millions more workers are imported to compete at home.
Brat argues this is not a failure of capitalism but a rejection of it. Government and multinational corporations collude to suppress wages, bypass the rule of law, and avoid investing in American workers. He explains why wage growth, not GDP or stock prices, is the only honest measure of economic health, and why morality, law, and human flourishing are inseparable from labor policy.
This is a blunt conversation about affordability, dignity, and whether America intends to rebuild an economy that works for its own people.
