    | While there is no reliable way to track how many workers on
    | temporary visas have been laid off, those in the industry estimate
    | that tens of thousands have been affected. Foreign-born workers,
    | including green-card holders, naturalized citizens and those on
    | temporary work visas, account for nearly one-quarter of all workers
    | in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math,
    | according to a 2019 estimate from the American Immigration Council,
    | up from 16% in 2000.

    displaced by the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab workers?
