    Times of India's Annapurna Roy on whether Donald Trump will nominate NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Ur M Jaddou at
    USCIS.GOV and whether Mitch McConnell will consent: <URL:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/et-explains/will-us-elections-ring-in-change-in-the-visa-regime-for-indians/articleshow/107228628.cms>
    | President Joe Biden has condemned Trump's immigration comments and
    | proposed more flexible rules for students and entrepreneurs to get
    | H-1B visas.
    |
    | His administration in October however pushed to allow only one
    | registration per employee and narrow down the definition of
    | 'specialty occupation' to require specialised degrees corresponding
    | to the job role-something Trump had proposed in 2020.
    |
    | Last week, the H-1B visa fee hike cleared the White House review,
    | which is the final step before the rule's official publication. The
    | changes seek to raise visa fees from $10 to $215 for online
    | registrations and from $460 to $780 for visa petitions.

    Does Casey DeSantis regret that Ron was unable to convince David
    McIntosh's Club for Growth to run advertisements on Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM with the likes of Mike Emmons lamenting that Trump
    lowered the barrier to entry to the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker
    import quota lottery?

    "Trump's use of "workers' party" was a great troll at the time, but
    it's totally misunderstood by Marxoid academic types in tuna-stained
    blazer who want to engage in "class analysis" rhetoric or exurban
    coders who pretend they're "homesteaders"; most have never met
    working class." - Bronze Age Pervert <URL:https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1629546387456024578>
