    San Francisco Chronicle's Carolyn Said on whether Kevin McCarthy
    and Mitch McConnell will allow Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to offer
    TPS to the Cheap Labor Lobby's RIF'd NIV scab workers: <URL:https://www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article/Tech-layoffs-H1B-visa-17616927.php>
    | One displaced H-1B worker encapsulated the dilemma in a note to
    | Alcorn, writing, "It's not just dollars and a job. It's our entire
    | life."
    |
    | The U.S. hosts more than half a million H-1B visa holders, with a
    | big concentration in the Bay Area.
    |
    | Meta, Google, Apple, Intel, Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Amazon and
    | Uber are among the tech companies with the most H-1B workers. Meta,
    | Cisco and Amazon, along with Twitter, Lyft and Stripe, are among the
    | companies that have recently laid off swaths of their workforce.

    onto Ken Griffin's campaign stage?
