MEDIA: Is it a good idea for laid off H-1B workers to switch to a US tourist visa, and back again?

Rajiv Khanna for Times of India on whether Susie Wiles recommends
that Donald Trump enlist Narendra Modi to be his MAGA campaign
surrogate for the National Question:

| In March 2023, the USCIS instituted a new policy to prioritize
| adjudicating a pending B-1/B-2 change of status application if the
| applicant's new employer files an H-1B petition with premium
| processing. This allows the H-1B to be swiftly approved without
| waiting for the B-1/B-2 decision, enabling the applicant to remain
| in the U.S. and commence working for the new H-1B employer upon
| approval. This streamlined process significantly reduces the
| uncertainty and waiting time associated with changing status.

Are Julie Su's DoL.GOV and Ur M Jaddou's USCIS.GOV tracking how many
scab workers have self-deported following the Cheap Labor Lobby's
RIFs in 2023 and 2024?

Will Trump nominate Eugene Scalia to succeed Su and
NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Jaddou and how much
does Amy Swonger estimate it will cost Trump to convince John Thune
(or Rick Scott) to consent?
