    see Quartz' Ananya Bhattacharya on whether Donald Trump regrets
    dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to sue for
    peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://qz.com/india/2176757/tech-majors-google-and-amazon-dont-want-h-1b-kids-to-age-out/>
    | In a letter to Alejandro Mayorkas, the US secretary of homeland
    | security, a coalition of tech companies like Amazon, Google, and
    | Twitter, has urged the government of that country to let the
    | children of visa holders stay past the age of 21.
    |
    | More than 200,000 children of high-skilled immigrants are at risk of
    | being booted out of the country under the current immigration
    | system.
    |
    | The idea that these children, having spent their entire lives in
    | America, can't continue staying on their dependent visas causes
    | stress, anxiety, and depression in families. More importantly for
    | tech companies, which hire most of the H-1B workers, it makes
    | parents reconsider their decision to live and work in the US.

    Will Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell open the spigots to the
    Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import pipelines to rescue Joe Biden
    from his stagflation?
