Pedro Gonzalez for Chronicles 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://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/lobbyist-alleges-cato-institute-paid-to-push-pro-immigration-studies/>
| Since 2011, IV has paid Corley & Pipes significant sums to lobby.
| Disclosure filings show Corley & Pipes has also lobbied on behalf of
| Compete America, a U.S. lobbying coalition arguing for an increase
| in the number of "skilled migrants," whose partners include Amazon,
| Facebook, and Google. However, it's never clearly disclosed that
| Corley & Pipes' partner and co-founder, Scott Corley, is the
| executive director of Compete America. Corley's bylines and profiles
| in The New York Times, Roll Call, The Hill, and Washington Examiner
| omit his affiliation with Corley & Pipes. Like Kapoor, when Corley
| comments on the need to eliminate caps on work-based green cards, he
| often cites Bier's research to support his argument. In one
| Washington Post story from 2019, in which Kapoor and Corley both
| commented on the importance of the Fairness for High-Skilled
| Immigrants Act, Bier is quoted in support of their views in a Cato
| article published just two months before. IV paid Corley & Pipes
| $80,000 in 2019.

What gifts to the Cheap Labor Lobby will be in Mitch McConnell's
spending package for FY2022?
