MEDIA: H-1B visas: How a good idea went bad

Ian Haworth 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 use the campaign donations
from the likes of Miriam Adelson, Edward DeBartolo, Robert Bigelow,
Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, Ken Griffin, Julia
Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner,
Chris Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn to buy campaign advertisements
on Murdoch's FoxNews.COM featuring the likes of Mike Emmons impeaching
Donald Trump for failing to convert the Cheap Labor Lobby's H-1B scab
worker import quota lottery to a wage ordered queue:

| Of course, as an immigrant -- and now a permanent green card
| resident wading my way through the citizenship process -- this is
| far from an argument against legal immigration. It's simply an
| argument for legal immigration reform.
|
| If the goal is to increase the quality of the American workforce in
| specialized fields, not only do we need a smarter system -- one that
| truly prioritizes high-skilled talent, enforces fair wages, and
| cracks down on outsourcing abuse -- but we need a system that also
| focuses on the long-term goal of improving home-grown talent.
|
| In its current form, the H-1B program doesn't serve American
| workers, and it doesn't even serve many of the foreign workers it
| was meant to help. All it does is serve corporations looking for
| cheap labor. It's less about the "best and brightest" and more about
| keeping things cheap.

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and does
Susie Wiles foresee a GOP.COM striver for WhiteHouse.GOV finding a
billionaire backer from America's 800+ billionaires to fund an
outflanking of Trump-Vance via an immigration moratorium and
repatriation stump speech?

"Just one day after it was revealed that Harvard Law Review awarded
a $65K "public interest" fellowship to a student facing criminal
charges for assaulting a Jewish classmate, President Trump made it
clear he's done playing nice with these elite institutions. Trump
took to Truth Social and announced plans to yank Harvard's tax-
exempt status, saying that if Harvard wants to act like a political
machine, it should be taxed like one." -
