Thank you @voxdev.bsky.social for inviting us to write about our research on extreme temperatures and migration in El Salvador!
In El Salvador, extreme heat lowers agricultural productivity and rural incomes, pushing farmers – especially those with strong migrant networks – to use international migration as a climate adaptation strategy.

This is another crippling blow not just to high-skill immigration in America, but specifically to the talented students who come here to study at US universities in the hope of staying to contribute their skills to the US.
There won't be many chances to do that anymore. Door slammed in their faces.

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.

Do voters prefer refugees to economic immigrants? A simple question that decades of social science still can't answer.
In my new piece, I go down the rabbit hole of why the evidence is mixed, and what that means for debates about populist accommodation.
