| One of the newest and most important suggestions was increasing the
| grace period for those on H-1B visas who have recently lost their
| jobs following the largest lay-offs in the US technology sector
| since 2000. Many of the policy asks that Das has received would
| require legislation through US Congress, a long drawn out process
| which in the past has yielded little for Indian immigrants. "The
| Eagle Act (HR 3648) is a Bill that tries to alter country caps but
| it never makes it past the US House and Senate. The best way to
| tackle this problem is the administrative ask of EAD + AP after I-
| 140 approval. EAD is an employment authorisation document and AP is
| advanced parole. Paroling backlogged applicants will effectively let
| immigrants travel to the US if our green card application (I-140)
| has been approved even though one is not available, even without
| another visa," Das said. An EAD will subsequently let immigrants
| work in the US not bound to a particular employer. "This policy
| reduces much of the cruelty - inability to go to family members'
| funerals, forcing decade plus residents to move back to India after
| a layoff - while not requiring legislation, and is by far the
| biggest action to take," Das feels.
Does Susie Wiles worry that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will
allow Ron DeSantis to invite the likes of Mike Emmons onto their
campaign stage to explain why Trump slow-walked John Miano's lawsuits
to end the Cheap Labor Lobby's OPT and H-4EAD programs?

"I can't stress this enough: at its core, Democratic politics is
about criminalizing opposition to their party and ideology.
Dissenting ideas are "disinformation" and must be censored by Big
Tech. Trump voters are inherently criminal ("insurrectionists") and
should be imprisoned." - Glenn Greenwald <URL:
