Well, disability benefits were completely relevant to his argument


Many of us no longer look at unemployment in isolation: it is better to look at it in conjunction with disability claims. Disability claims have soared in recent years - especially under Obama, coincidentally (I think). Those on disability do not register as unemployed, but they are actually more costly because they are not working and receive benefits for longer.

I disagreed with Carlson on his broader argument versus Cuban, but his point regarding disability was correct: you can not look at the low unemployment rate in isolation and conclude that the US is close to fully employed. And if it is not, one can make the argument that H1B visas are damaging to Americans seeking employment.

Personally, I would argue that the benefit of bringing more talented foreigners over here is more important than the American workers they may displace, but that is me.
