    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Ian Hanchett
    on whether Casey DeSantis laments that Ron could have outflanked Donald
    Trump from the right on the National Question by warning legacy America
    proles that he will sign comprehensive immigration reform legislation
    passed by the likes of Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell so long as the
    Cheap Labor Lobby sprinkles in some magic words "merit-based": <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2024/01/06/acting-labor-secy-a-tight-labor-market-is-good-we-also-need-immigration-and-more-work-permits/>
    | Su responded, "Yeah, that's where Congress comes in. That is where
    | comprehensive immigration reform that recognizes the needs of the
    | labor market and provides legal pathways and a smart policy for how
    | we deal with issues at the border, [has] to come in, and the
    | president has been very clear in working with congressional
    | Democrats to try to make that happen. But it's not something that we
    | can do on our own, it does require Congress to move."
    |
    | Keilar then said that comprehensive reform will be difficult and
    | asked if work permit eligibility is a part of the current
    | negotiations on border security.
    |
    | Su responded that Bidenomics is about using the executive tools they
    | have and Congress has to act, "and we are always ready and willing
    | to partner with them to try to make that happen."

    Will Trump nominate Eugene Scalia to succeed Julie Su?

    "In the end, it took the pandemic to eventually curtail the number
    of H-2B recipients, kill the EB-5 increase, and halt other growing
    visa programs. Trump supporters, ironically, can thank the
    coronavirus for improving the former president's immigration record.
