    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 2 12:05:29 2023
    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether
    Donald Trump will nominate Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Ur M Jaddou
    at USCIS.GOV and whether Mitch McConnell will consent: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/uscis-extends-comment-period-for-proposed-rule-to-increase-fees>
    | Businesses seeking to hire workers on temporary employment-based
    | visas, like H-1B speciality occupation visas, would see major
    | increases under the proposed rule, originally issued in January.
    | Much of that increase is driven by a new $600 asylum program fee
    | that will be borne by employers as USCIS seeks to fund its increased
    | humanitarian workload.
    |
    | The agency, whose operations are fee-funded, hasn't updated the cost
    | of immigration benefits since 2016.

    Does Susie Wiles fear that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will unleash
    Ron DeSantis to outflank Trump for not forcing Paul Ryan and McConnell
    to pass an immigration moratorium?
