    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether Ken
    Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron DeSantis to outflank
    Donald Trump by calling on Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell to
    close the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import pipelines: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/h-1b-registration-period-opens-march-1-ahead-of-likely-lottery-1>
    | The program has an annual cap of 85,000 visas, which includes 20,000
    | for workers with advanced degrees from US colleges and universities.
    |
    | In recent years, however, registrations have far outstripped the
    | supply of visas--a reflection of both the demand for workers from
    | abroad for hard-to-fill jobs and the relatively low barriers to
    | using the online registration system.
    |
    | Employers must pay a $10 fee for each registration. A proposed
    | update to the USCIS fee schedule, released this month, would
    | increase that fee to $215 per registration,

    Does Kellyanne Conway see evidence in Brad Parscale and Bill
    Stepien's library of focus group and survey data that legcy
    American proles are seeking a tribune for them and their posterity?

    "Here's a joke, Mr. Stump. Knock Knock Who's There? Donald Trump
    Donald Trump Who? Donald Trump, who has been a disaster for
    principled populist policies, and will lose to Ron DeSantis in
    2024." - Populist Pundit <URL:https://twitter.com/PunditPopulist/status/1562473021700354048>

    Michael Bloomberg guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether
    Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell will ask Ur M Jaddou and
    Alejandro Mayorkas on why we're importing more guest workers
    when the Cheap Labor Lobby is RIFng them: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/h-1b-registration-period-opens-march-1-ahead-of-likely-lottery-1>
    | Employers will be able to register for H-1B specialty occupation
    | visas to add foreign workers beginning March 1, US Citizenship and
    | Immigration Services said Friday.
    |
    | The visas, which are in especially high demand for filling jobs in
    | tech and engineering fields, have a duration of three years with an
    | option to renew for another three years.
    |
    | If USCIS receives a sufficient number of registrations by March 17,
    | the agency will hold a randomized lottery to select visa recipients
    | for fiscal year 2024.

    Does Kellyanne Conway worry that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will
    allow Ron DeSantis to outflank Donald Trump from the right on the
    National Question by inviting the likes of Mike Emmons onto their
    campaign stump?

    "The ability of institutions to proliferate these ideas can
    effectively negate the socially conservative mandate Republican
    voters give their representatives. You voted for Trump because you
    wanted to stop or avoid X. But the prestigious medical school
    teaches X is good, actually." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1562821306801737728>
