Part 6/11:
A profound and thought-provoking component of this debate lies in its intersections with affirmative action. The speaker critiques the implications of its policies, asserting that the ongoing influx of immigrants through H1B and other visa programs has inadvertently sidelined native-born Americans, especially in educational institutions and job markets. He argues that while the ideal of affirmative action aims to remedy historical injustices, it does so at the risk of perpetuating new inequities, as it often prioritizes certain immigrant groups over struggling native populations.
