    | Kishore Kumar Kavuru, 46, was sentenced on Monday after pleading to
    | one count of visa fraud on May 24, the U.S. Department of Justice
    | said in a Tuesday news release. According to a plea agreement,
    | Kavuru was the CEO of four staffing companies that obtained H-1B
    | visas, which allow companies to hire foreign workers temporarily,
    | and placed the workers at tech firms.
    |
    | Kavuru was responsible for filing visa applications for workers and
    | submitting them to the U.S. government, according to authorities. He
    | was indicted on 10 counts of mail fraud and 10 counts of visa fraud
    | in 2018; prosecutors said he had schemed to bring in 600 foreign
    | workers illegally to the U.S. over the last decade.

    Does Donald Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay
    the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and
    Kamala Harris?
