this silicon chip supplies the brainpower for 1,001 electronic gadgets from wristwatches to microwave ovens. the mushrooming industry gives birth to a new high-tech cult and a place called silicon valley. the magic part of silicon valley is that there was this boiling pot of people who were involved in technology, involved in science. silicon valley was hp, sri, xerox park, and stanford university. that was a hell of a powerful combination. there was these two cultures, engineers with ph.d.s and hobbyists. it was a time when there was a lot of social ferment in and around the bay area. there was a lot of counter-culture people. so you had cheap semiconductors. you had people that would look at things differently than what the conventional person was, and that s what the technology needed then. one of the things that was really hard about making a
biggest mistake they can make today is to walk away petulantly and say this doesn t work because of a, b, c, d. yeah, think i that s right. look, even the legal immigration a lot of the d-h-1 b thing is not great. you re bringing in high skill immigrants. we all think again this is 1% thing, if you re a coastal elite, you think, great, let s bring in all these ph.d.s from india, china and help the high-tech economy. that doesn t help the base of the democratic party which is working class democrats who are worried about depressed wages. again, in theory on paper this is there s something to head towards here. the problem for most democrats as the point that eugene made which is that it s framed in the lead into it is the ice gangs, the i.c.e. enforcements and
yamiche, who are you watching in congress who might stand up against these comments? that s on the right? i m essentially watching lindsey graham, watching mitch mcconnell. watching paul ryan. really, these are the leaders of the republican party who have to stand up and the say, is this is going to be the party of trump? does the party itself, not just individual senators but the party as an establishment back the president? i m a reporter of haitian descent, my dad still lives in haiti. my mom has two ph.d.s and lives in florida. when he s kicked off his campaign calling mexicans racist and criminals, racist comments and the first people to sound the alarm, and people didn t listen to them. a lot of people said, let it go. one thing. now he s president of the united states. there s a moment happening now but it s long coming. and then, also building on what yamiche said, used
thinker, we would be in deep economic trouble. immigrants, when most of the junior of the nobel, young nobel prize winners. most of our ph.d.s at rochester or any technical university in engineering or the hard sciences are immigrants. and anyone who doesn t understand two thing that this nation is founded on immigrants and it s founded on immigrants who came from those so-called s-hole countries. name me i d like to know one of these guys who can name an and seccestor who was the duke marlboro or the baron, i doubt that s the case. does this not put him in a corner? he s become increasingly more friendly with the president even in the last couple weeks or so. now that dick durbin has sort of dropped the gauntlet, what does lindsey graham do? do what durbin did. you have a source in the room in
definitive things. the idea that these comments were so painful to people. my mother is haitian, my father lives in haiti still. i ve been hearing from so many haitians all around the country who are in tears and upset. these the people who have gone so much between earthquakes and all sorts of things. and then most of themm emigrate here. they have ph.d. s and this is a president who thinks they are no better and should be replaced by people from norway. so i think the u.s. ambassador put it really clearly to me yesterday. he told me that the u.s. and haiti s relations go all the way back to the revolutionary war where haitian soldiers, free black people, came and helped american soldiers come is that fight for their freedom. there is this idea that people feel this is an affront to the very decency to the united states and haiti. so you have haiti taking formal actions to summon american
