• MEDIA: An anti-immigrant group with links to white nationalism is all o

    Via Duck Duck Go, <URL:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Joe+Guzzardi%22&t=h_&df=w&iar=news&ia=news> see Media Matters for America's Casey Wexler on the inability of
    Morris Dees and $PLC to cancel Kevin Lynn: <URL:https://www.mediamatters.org/immigration/anti-immigrant-group-links-white-nationalism-all-over-local-media-and-its-being-falsely>
    | In another column, Guzzardi railed against the Biden administration
    | for delaying the implementation of higher-wage requirements for H-1B
    | visas, the permits given to skilled workers. He also made the wild
    | claim that the Department of Labor is trying to actively hurt the
    | economy by delaying the rule, pushing a xenophobic theory that the
    | American government is seeking to undermine its own economy to
    | benefit "the immigration lobby":
    |
    || The department isn't concerned about "legality" or "policy
    || consequences," but rather with pressing on with Biden's agenda to
    || subvert American workers, and appease the immigration lobby. The
    || main beneficiaries of the extended delay are corporations that hire
    || H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3 visa employees. Those visa categories apply to,
    || respectively, tech workers, so-called specialty workers from Chile
    || and Singapore, and so-called specialty workers from Australia. A
    || review of the jobs for which foreign-born, alleged specialty workers
    || have been hired shows that the tasks they perform are hardly
    || special, and could easily be done by Americans - teachers,
    || accountants and information technology engineers.
    ||
    || The website moneycontrol.com, which concentrates on Indian
    || financial news, confirmed that the wage hike delay is "indeed a huge
    || relief" to Indian nationals, since they are the "largest
    || beneficiaries of the visa." In FY 2019, more than 70 percent of H-1B
    || visas issued went to Indians. By extension, a win for Indians and
    || Chinese - the other significant H-1B beneficiaries - also means
    || another setback for American workers hoping to get a fair shake from
    || the Biden administration.

    Is the Cheap Labor Lobby happy with Morris Dees and $PLC's overhead
    rates?

    "Florida's minimum wage hike received more popular support than
    either Biden or Trump which is consistent with national trends than
    show Latinos generally have a different view of government's role in
    society opposed to the bootlicking Reaganism that loses elections.
