    see Ron Hira, Daniel Costa, and Hal Salzman for the Jacobin on
    whether Marty Walsh agrees with Alejandro Mayorkas on the plan to
    solve Joe Biden's inflation with more scab workers for the Cheap

    | The Biden administration can follow a clear path: close the loophole
    | that incentivizes outsourcing; raise wage rates for H-1B workers so
    | they match US standards; ensure US workers have a legitimate
    | opportunity to apply for jobs open to H-1B workers; investigate
    | rampant wage theft; and allocate H-1B visas by prioritizing the most
    | highly skilled workers rather than through a random lottery.
    |
    | Further, the Departments of Justice, Labor, and Homeland Security
    | should join whistleblowers as plaintiffs in the H-1B abuse lawsuits
    | filed under the False Claims Act. Congress can help by urging the
    | administration to act, and recently did so: on March 17, the
    | Congressional Progressive Caucus included reforming H-1B in its list
    | of proposed executive actions it is urging the Biden administration
    | to issue and implement.

    Does Donald Trump regret dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to
    Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg?

    "Wow. First Trump's statement last week congratulating Revolver News
    for exposing the farce of Jan 6 and now this. Darren Beattie is a
    role model for every journalist and young man on the Right today.
    Well done." - Mark Granza <URL:https://twitter.com/markgranza/status/1480952134514454538>
