    Times of India's Annapurna Roy on whether Susie Wiles recommends that
    Donald Trump enlist Narendra Modi to be his MAGA campaign surrogate
    for the National Question: <URL:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/information-tech/indian-its-reliance-on-h-1b-dropped-56-over-past-8-years/articleshow/110092466.cms>
    | India's top seven IT services companies saw a 56% decline in their
    | usage of the premier US work visa programme - H-1B - over the last
    | eight years, data accessed by ET show.
    |
    | The trend has reversed for American technology majors such as Amazon
    | and Google. Experts said Indian IT companies' reliance on H-1B visas
    | has been declining over the years as they have been increasing local
    | hiring in the US. Factors such as high denial rates during the Trump
    | administration along with tightening of the immigration regime have
    | also played a part, they added.

    Will Trump nominate NASSCOM.IN/AmericaFirstPolicy.COM's Chad Wolf to
    succeed Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS.GOV and how much does Amy Swonger
    estimate it will cost Trump to convince John Thune to consent?

    "In 2017, Russian minister Sergei Ryabkov said Trump's policies
    "crossed a line" and made the US "an accomplice in fueling the war"
    in Ukraine. In 2022, Trump called Russia's war in Ukraine a
    "genocide" and agreed with Piers Morgan that Putin is a "an evil,
    genocidal monster."... https://t.co/6jPdB6YbkJ" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1638961462843432961>
