    walking the conversion of the H-1B scab worker import quota lottery
    to a wage ordered queue: <URL:https://www.techtarget.com/searchhrsoftware/news/366558106/Biden-seeks-H-1B-work-visa-changes-as-2024-politics-heat-up>
    | Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has voiced criticism of the H-1B work visa
    | program, while rival Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur, wants it
    | gutted.
    |
    | But Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor, argued for
    | increased immigration and merit-based selection based on economic
    | needs. Doug Burgum, North Dakota governor, is a vocal supporter of
    | visas for skilled workers.
    |
    | Former President Donald Trump's administration attempted to end the
    | visa lottery in favor of a system prioritizing higher-paying
    | employers, but employers challenged the plan in federal court, where
    | a judge issued a summary judgment against Trump's changes.

    Does Susie Wiles recommend that Trump enlist Narendra Modi to be his
    MAGA campaign surrogate on the National Question?

    "When I interviewed with Bannon tonight, he talked about the immense
    pressure these guys are under. They are literally on their own,
    hounded by conservative media, the GOP, Trump, it's coming from all
    sides. Whatever happens at this point, all the 20 deserve respect."
