    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see John Binder
    on whether Donald Trump regrets dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner
    to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URLhttps://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/01/24/google-investor-admits-no-labor-shortage-in-americas-tech-industry/>
    | Hohn's TCI Fund Management holds more than $6 billion in Google
    | stock through the corporation's parent company, Alphabet Inc.
    |
    | The labor market for tech workers is partially inflated by a massive
    | pool of foreign visa workers that are imported annually, mostly on
    | H-1B visas, L-1 visas, and OPT visas to take coveted white-collar
    | STEM jobs that would otherwise go to American graduates and
    | professionals.
    |
    | For instance, in 2021, Google executives sought to outsource more
    | than 9,400 tech jobs to foreign H-1B visa workers -- making Google
    | the third largest H-1B outsourcer of American jobs that year, just
    | behind Indian firms Cognizant and Tata Consulting Services.

    Does Kellyanne Conway fear that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will
    allow Ron DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right by inviting the
    likes of Mike Emmons on their campaign stump to teach a short course
    on how the law of supply and demand applies to labor markets?

    "There were so many of these "principled" anti-Trump Republicans we
    were supposed to remember that no one can recall. Remember Mark
    Sanford? Dave Jolly? Barbara Comstock? of course you don't. This
    will also be Cheney's fate" - Scott Greer <URL:https://twitter.com/ScottMGreer/status/1560126189372669952>
