    Chronicles' Pedro Gonzalez on whether Donald Trump regrets taking
    Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the
    campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://chroniclesmagazine.org/featured/trumpism-the-myth-the-man-and-the-mandate/>
    | Trump's performance with regard to the H-1B program, abused by
    | companies that deliberately avoid hiring American tech workers,
    | further illustrates this reality. During the 2016 presidential race,
    | Trump railed against the H-1B program. He invited former Disney IT
    | workers who were replaced by visa recipients to share the stage with
    | him at a rally. He even said, "we should end [the program]." And
    | then, approvals of petitions for H-1B workers increased overall by 6
    | percent between 2017 and 2019. Approvals of petitions for new H-1B
    | workers (as opposed to continuing workers) dipped in 2018 before
    | soaring in 2019 to the highest level since 2001.

    Does Susie Wiles recommend Trump attack Ron DeSantis as a pawn of the
    the Cheap Labor Lobby?

    "Instead of appreciating DeSantis as the strongest potential Trump-
    stopper, far less troubling than Trump, anti-Trumpers moved
    immediately to bashing DeSantis. I don't understand it. One obvious explanation: Anti-populism is now an industry with prospects of
    lifetime employment." - Mickey Kaus <URL:http://www.kausfiles.com/2022/09/20/54526/>
