    Via BorderHawk.NEWS, see PFIRDC.ORG's Joe Guzzardi for NoozHawk on
    whether Donald Trump is pleased with his legislative legacy after
    yielding it to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell: <URL:https://www.noozhawk.com/article/joe_guzzardi_congress_back_to_displacing_u.s._tech_workers_20220313>
    | The legislation proposed by Durbin and Grassley does nothing to
    | improve the H-1B program or to enact the reasonable, achievable
    | solutions that Hira and Gopalaswamy recommended.
    |
    | Instead, S. 3720 reshuffles the H-1B selection process to prioritize
    | those who came in as international students and obtained an advanced
    | degree in STEM and are paid the minimum prevailing wage.
    |
    | In other words, with the Grassley-Durbin bill, the bulk of H-1B
    | visas would go not to Indian contract workers brought in through
    | outsourcing firms, as is the current situation, but instead to
    | international students who already have access to the Optional
    | Training Program, the nation's largest guest worker program.

    Does Trump regret slow-walking John Miano's lawsuit against the illegal
    OPT program?
