• MEDIA: Ramaswamy wants to end the H-1B visa program he used 29 times

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 24 11:54:39 2023
    Politico's Myah Ward on whether Susie Wiles worries that Ron
    DeSantis will receive permission from Miriam Adelson, Robert
    Bigelow, Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus,
    Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David
    Sacks and Steve Wynn to invite the likes of Mike Emmons onto their
    campaign stage to warn legacy American proles that Donald Trump
    will betray them with comprehensive immigration reform passed by
    Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell if it includes the magic words
    "merit based": <URL:https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/16/ramaswamy-h1b-visa-gop-visa-00116383>
    | "My parents came to this country with no money 40 years ago," he
    | said. "I have gone on to found multi billion-dollar companies."
    |
    | Ramaswamy's stance on H-1B visas is reminiscent of the 2016 Trump
    | campaign, when then-candidate Donald Trump, who has also hired a
    | number of foreign workers under H-1B visas for his businesses, took
    | a hardline stance on these foreign workers before later softening
    | his rhetoric.
    |
    | As president, Trump temporarily suspended new work visas and blocked
    | hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from U.S. employment, as
    | part of his sweeping effort to limit the number of immigrants coming
    | into the United States.

    Does Casey DeSantis see a path to WhiteHouse.GOV for Ron in 2024
    or 2028 without seizing Trump's right flank on the National Question?

    BTW CNBC's Brian Schwartz reports that Ken Griffin has abandoned
    Ron and Casey: <URL:https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/18/billionaire-ken-griffin-former-desantis-donor-sits-out-gop-primary.html>
    | Each day that passes with donors like Griffin staying out of the
    | Republican primary is a day the money race accrues to Trump's
    | benefit.
    |
    | "As the presidential campaigns unfold, I am assessing how the
    | policies of each candidate will address the challenges facing our
    | country," Griffin said later in a statement to CNBC. "I care deeply
    | about individual rights and freedom, economic policies that
    | encourage prosperity and upward mobility, all children having access
    | to a high-quality education, ensuring our communities are safe, and
    | a strong national defense."
