• MEDIA: Don't kick American tech workers while they're down

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 7 10:49:21 2023
    Paul Nachman for the Chicago Sun Times on whether Susie Wiles worries
    that Ron DeSantis will receive permission from Miriam Adelson, Robert
    Bigelow, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan
    Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn to warn legacy American proles
    that Donald Trump will sign "merit-based" comprehensive immigration
    reform passed by Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell: <URL:https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/21/23837363/foreign-workers-green-cards-science-technology-business-labor-market-wages-op-ed>
    | A bipartisan duo, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D) of Illinois and U.S.
    | Sen. Mike Rounds (R) of South Dakota, are trying to sneak their Keep
    | STEM Talent Act into the annual, must-pass defense spending bill as
    | an amendment.
    |
    | If it remains in the final version, the provision could add hundreds
    | of thousands of foreign workers to the U.S. tech labor market,
    | thereby boxing out Americans and driving down wages for everyone.
    |
    | The provision would exempt foreigners who graduate from American
    | universities with master's or doctorates in STEM (science,
    | technology, engineering and math) fields from employer-sponsored
    | green-card quotas.

    Who does Trump have in mind to succed Miguel Cardona at Ed.GOV and
    keep his boot on the necks of Big .EDU presidents and deans since
    DeVos has defected to DeSantis?

    for their help destroying the First Amendment, Donald Trump and the
    Republican party. Big Tech & the media happily obliged. This is no
    longer the America that you and I grew up in. We've got a lot of
    work to do." - Kari Lake <URL:https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/1601370128310206464>
