    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, David North, on whether
    Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the
    National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala
    Harris: <URL:https://cis.org/North/Visa-Approval-Rates-Surge-FY-2021-According-State-Department>
    | Specifics. While most visa categories showed a greater percentage of
    | approvals in FY 2021 than in FY 2020, there was an interesting (and
    | welcome) exception, notably in the controversial H-1B program for
    | skilled workers (mostly in the high-tech industries). The approval
    | rate for this very large program dropped from 97.3 percent in FY
    | 2020 to 92.9 percent the following year. As we pointed out recently,
    | many initially allocated H-1B slots went unused last year causing
    | Homeland Security to run additional lotteries as it searched for
    | firms to use these visas. The lower approval rates by State and the
    | lower acceptance rates by both employers and workers may be related.

    Will Trump's Save America PAC endorse Ken Cuccinelli?
