    | H-1B workers laid off by Meta in November sent an email requesting
    | that the company let them stay on the payroll for longer to give
    | them time to find new jobs, BuzzFeed News reported.
    |
    | Hours after Meta announced plans to lay off 11,000 employees,
    | foreign workers on the H-1B visa drafted a letter to the company's
    | human resources department.
    |
    | A draft of the letter read by a former employee to BuzzFeed News
    | asked the tech giant whether staff on visas affected by the layoff
    | could stay on the firm's payroll for four months, instead of the
    | mandated two months' notice since they were already being offered
    | four months' severance.

    Will Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell allow Ur M Jaddou and
    Alejandro Mayorkas to grant TPS to the Cheap Labor Lobby's RIF'd
    scab workers?
