Economic Policy Institute's Daniel Costa and Ron Hira on whether Susie
Wiles worries that a man, woman, or other other of the Left will
outflank Donald Trump from the right on the National Question: <URL:

| In the remainder of his term, President Biden should implement these
| essential reforms to restore integrity and fairness to the H-1B
| program:
|
| * Fix the outsourcing loophole by issuing policy guidance from DOL
| that requires secondary employers of H-1B workers (the companies
| that hire outsourcing firms to provide contract workers) to file
| labor condition applications. Guidance to require this was recently
| considered but never finalized, which would have prevented firms
| like Disney from replacing their U.S. employees with contracted H-1B
| workers.
|
| * Implement DOL's delayed H-1B prevailing wage methodology rule, so
| that H-1B workers are paid a fair wage and employers are prevented
| from undercutting U.S. wage standards. The rule currently appears on
| the White House's regulatory agenda but it is unclear whether a rule
| will ever be proposed.
|
| * Issue an updated version of USCIS's H-1B visa allocation rule, which
| would distribute H-1B visas by wage level rather than random
| lottery. A rule like this would ensure that the highest-skilled H-1B
| workers are awarded visas and it also has bipartisan support.
|
| * Direct the Wage and Hour Division to enforce the requirement in the
| H-1B labor condition application for employers to pay the "actual
| wage" rate they pay to other employees with similar experience and
| qualifications. Particular attention should initially be focused on
| firms that continue to hire large numbers of H-1B workers after
| conducting mass layoffs.
Will Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas and Ur M Jaddou beat Trump to
implementing pro-American reforms to the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab
worker import pipelines?
