    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Robert Law, on whether
    Donald Trump regrets his partnership with Paul Ryan and Mitch
    McConnell: <URL:https://cis.org/Law/Congressman-Introduces-H1B-Reform-Bill-Protect-American-Workers>
    | The bill also eliminates Optional Practical Training (OPT), the
    | largest guestworker program never passed by Congress. At the behest
    | of Big Tech, the Bush administration unilaterally created OPT to
    | circumvent the H-1B cap. The Obama administration expanded it,
    | allowing aliens admitted on an F-1 student visa to work for up to
    | three years after graduating (while still under their "student"
    | visa) if they obtained a STEM degree. Banks' bill would end this
    | illegal work program that has allowed employers to hire hundreds of
    | thousands of foreign workers at a discount because they are exempt
    | from payroll taxes since they are nominally "students".

    Mark Krikorian and Jon Feere's podcast is time well spent: <URL:https://cis.org/Parsing-Immigration-Policy/OPT-Guestworkers-Masquerading-Students>
