• MEDIA: Canada Is Raiding the US for Tech Worker Immigrants

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 6 10:57:17 2023
    Michael Bloomberg's guest bloggers on whether Susie Wiles worries
    that Miriam Adelson, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie
    Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn will give Ron
    DeSantis permission to make Donald Trump regret dispatching Jared
    and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes
    of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://www.itprotoday.com/career-development/don-t-blame-canada-raiding-america-s-tech-talent>
    | Meanwhile, workers and their families in the US are at the mercy of
    | the technology industry's shifting labor demands. The US requires
    | that H-1B visa holders who lose their jobs find another employer to
    | hire and sponsor them within 60 days or face deportation. At least
    | 50,000 have had their visas revoked since last fall, when giants
    | like Amazon and Meta started shedding staff amid a slump in tech
    | stocks. Facing this uncertainty, even H-1B workers who've kept their
    | jobs are taking up Canada's offer to move there instead.

    Will DeSantis invite the likes of Mike Emmons to be his campaign
    surrogate for the National Question?

    "While people were fighting over Trump versus DeSantis, Tom Emmer
    won his bid for whip while Kevin Mcarthy and Mitch McConnell and
    Ronna McDaniel all emerged on track to retain their leadership
    roles. The GOP establishment rode out midterms unscathed." - Pedro
    Gonzalez
