    TechTarget's Patrick Thibodeau on whether Donald Trump regrets
    dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to sue for
    peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://www.techtarget.com/searchhrsoftware/news/252527158/Metas-H-1B-layoffs-challenge-visa-holders-and-US-workers>
    | "I know this is especially difficult if you're here on a visa,"
    | Zuckerberg wrote to Meta employees Wednesday.
    |
    | The layoffs at Meta, Twitter and other Silicon Valley companies that
    | use H-1B workers highlight some of the visa's complications. Laid-
    | off H-1B workers have 60 days to find another employer or face
    | leaving the country, losing their chance for permanent residency or
    | a green card.
    |
    | H-1B workers affected by layoffs "are desperate to find another
    | employer immediately," said Ron Hira, an associate professor of
    | political science at Howard University. He has testified before
    | Congress on the visa program.

    Will Ken Griffin allow Ron DeSantis to run to Trump's right by
    campaigning on an immigration moratorium to defend legacy American
    proles and their posterity from their dispossession?
