MEDIA: H-1B visa rules outdated, US tech execs warn; Indian techies vital to maintain global edge

Times of India's anonymous hack on whether NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken
Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advised Casey DeSantis to dispatch Ron
to David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to plead for go-ahead to
deploy the likes of Michelle Malkin onto Lachlan Murdoch's
FoxNews.COM campaign stump to impeach Donald Trump for lowering the
barrier to entry for the Cheap Labor Lobby's H-1B scab worker import
quota lottery without converting it to a wage ordered queue:

| High government visa fees are the biggest barrier for firms trying
| to hire international staff, followed by delays and rising legal
| costs. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) increased
| the base HaEUR'1B petition fee for large employers by 70%. The
| initial HaEUR'1B registration cost rose from $10 to $215 for fiscal
| year 2025. According to Manifest Law, Indian professionals have been
| hit hardest - from 2022-2023, 72.3% of all HaEUR'1B visas went to
| Indian nationals, and nearly half of all STEM Optional Practical
| Training (OPT) applicants were from India.

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
headcounts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
DeRemer's DoL.GOV surveys and how does Susie Wiles recommend Trump's
endorsed successor (Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance? Norm Braman's Little
Marco Rubio? another GOP.COM striver with a billionaire backer?) sell
the hard facts on the ground to those legacy American proles who thought
they voted against their dispossession in 2024?

"Last night on CNBC Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff hinted that
some stunning revelations around expansion of the Abraham Peace
Accords would likely surface in the next week.   Immediately
thereafter, President Trump sent a message of support for Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, against a judicial effort
targeting the Prime Minister." - Sundance
