    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether Donald
    Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National
    Question on the campaign stump against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/visa-bottlenecks-are-creating-headaches-for-employers-workers>
    | Some workers with an urgent need to get back to the US have traveled
    | to consular offices in third countries like the United Kingdom to
    | secure visa stamps, but that option depends on capacity in those
    | countries. Even in this remote work era, businesses face major
    | headaches if employees can't return to the US because of wait times
    | for a visa stamp. Time zone differences, for example, mean coworkers
    | can't collaborate effectively and many jobs--in healthcare, lab
    | research, or engineering--can't be done remotely at all, Fresco
    | said.
    |
    | The delays for workers to enter the US impact costs for businesses
    | as well as their reputation with customers, said Jon Baselice, vice
    | president of immigration policy at the US Chamber of Commerce.

    If Baselice self-deported from the US, which labor market would offer
    him sanctuary?

    "People keep saying Jared Kushner won't be involved in a second
    Trump administration after playing a key role in sabotaging the
    first administration *and* the 2020 campaign. But he will in some
    capacity, likely through proxies, America First Policy Institute,
    etc." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1561716105449816064>
