You've likely seen the new $100,000 penalty on high-skill immigrant workers. Here's the next, separate bomb the White House is dropping on high skill immigration, to be officially published *tomorrow*. tl;dr: Most H-1Bs now inaccessible for entry-level jobs, e.g. new grads from US universities.

In just three months, with no external shocks, economic forecasters have gone from predicting that the U.S. economy would continue to deliver ongoing growth, to predicting a quite weak (and possibly recessionary) economy.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
