• MEDIA: Several US companies hire laid-off H-1B workers, finds survey

    Times of India on whether Susie Wiles recommends Donald Trump recruit
    Narendra Modi as a Save America campaign surrogate: <URL:https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/several-us-cos-hire-laid-off-h-1b-workers-finds-survey/articleshow/98505346.cms>
    | According to Envoy, this momentum should continue as employers are
    | expected to submit slightly more H-1B registrations than they did in
    | 2022, which saw a record 4,83,000 submissions. The online
    | registration period for H-1B specialty occupation visas opened on
    | March 1. As always, once the registration period ends, this will be
    | followed by a lottery for selection of candidates as the number of
    | registrations far exceeds the annual H-1B cap quota of 85,000 visas.
    | Indians are traditionally the main beneficiaries, bagging more than
    | 60% of the new H-1B cap allotments.

    Does Wiles fear that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
    DeSantis to invite the likes of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stump
    to brief Americans on the Cheap Labor Lobby's insatiable hunger for
    scab workers and call for Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell to close
    the spigot?

    "Barletta was one of Trump's earliest endorsers. He was so loyal he
    challenged Bob Casey Jr. at Trump's behest but ultimately lost.
    Trump repaid Barletta by endorsing Mastriano over him in last year's gubernatorial race, effectively destroying the career of this
    immigration hawk." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1635090284039254016>
