    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 4 12:23:49 2022
    New Indian Express' Gurbir Singh 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://www.newindianexpress.com/opinions/2022/nov/27/big-tech-layoffs-may-be-a-long-term-carnage-2522519.html>
    | A far bigger impact on the country will be the massive numbers of
    | Indian-origin techies who will be now stranded in the US without
    | jobs. Having spent years in getting their H-visas, now without jobs
    | and a sponsor, they face a bleak future and possible deportation.
    | Most techies in the US work with the H-1B visa which is more like a
    | work permit. Under this visa's conditions, an unemployed person will
    | face deportation if he does not find another sponsor within 60 days
    | of termination.

    Will John Katko ask Ur M Jaddou how many of the Cheap Labor Lobby's
    NIV scab workers self-deport after their 60 day grace period?
