    see Quartz' Ananya Bhattacharya 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://qz.com/2093685/why-is-uscis-conducting-a-rare-third-h-1b-lottery/> | In April 2020, USCIS said it received more than 275,000 petitions
    | for the 2021 fiscal year. But covid derailed several plans. Many
    | international students were forced to return home. H-1B workers were
    | laid off. No freedom to travel and a decline in activity in several
    | industries, including consulting, put several workers in limbo.
    | Besides foreign healthcare workers, few others were allowed entry
    | into the US in the early days of the pandemic.

    Did Marty Walsh lobby Joe Biden against Alejandro Mayorkas' multiple
    lotteries for the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import quotas?
