Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Robert Law, on whether
Donald Trump regrets sending Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley
to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://cis.org/Law/Heres-Who-Can-Jump-Green-Card-Line-Under-Reconciliation-Bill>
| The obvious population that benefits are the hundreds of thousands
| of Indian and Chinese H-1B workers who mostly are petitioned for EB-
| 2 or EB-3 visas. In exchange for just $5,000 these once "temporary"
| workers become permanent fixtures in the workforce, along with their
| spouses and children. If this sounds like a Big Tech green card
| giveaway, that's because it is. The tech industry and other
| corporations are heavy users of the H-1B nonimmigrant visa, which
| allows these companies to legally underpay foreign workers compared
| to what the market wage would be for a similarly skilled American.
| And, thanks to the American Competitiveness for the 21st Century
| Act, an H-1B alien who is sponsored for an employment-based green
| card before the end of the fifth year (out of six) can remain in the
| United States indefinitely (and work) on the H-1B until a green card
| is available. Essentially, this language accomplishes the goals of
| the lobbyist-driven, and misnamed, "Fairness for High Skilled
| Immigrants Act".

With the demise of Build Back Better, what are the pathways for
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy to grant more scab workers to the
Cheap Labor Lobby?
