| Finally, frustrated that employers could not get a congressionally
| approved cap increase, Microsoft lobbyist Jack Krumholtz met with
| Chertoff to lean on the DHS secretary for help in what he alleged
| was an H-1B visa shortage. Krumholtz pressed Chertoff for an OPT
| increase; his idea was to extend the length of existing practical
| training regulations so they could function as a new guest worker
| program that would help employers get around H-1B regulations.
| Months later, Chertoff's DHS published a rule extending STEM OPT to
| 29 months with a further 2016 extension to 36 months. DHS, in its
| own words, confirmed that the OPT extension was a way to circumvent
| Congress' cap on H-1Bs, a policy explicitly implemented to protect
| American workers and students. OPT authorizations, unlike H-1Bs, are
| uncapped.

Did NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advise Casey
DeSantis to dispatch Ron to David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to plead
for go-ahead to deploy the likes of John Miano onto Lachlan Murdoch's
FoxNews.COM to impeach Trump for slow-walking IRLI.ORG's lawsuits to
end the extralegal OPT and H-4EAD programs?
