    Times of India's Pawan Kumar on whether Susie Wiles recommended to
    Donald Trump that he enlist Narendra Modi as his MAGA campaign
    surrogate for the National Question: <URL:https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/industry/us-tech-layoffs-hit-indian-workers-hard-amid-new-visa-challenges-article-113589222>
    | In a sector once thought to be immune to downturns, around 438 tech
    | companies have laid off 137,500 employees, according to Layoffs.fyi.
    | This has led to a shortage of job opportunities in the tech market.
    | H-1B visa holders face added pressure, as they have a limited time
    | to find new jobs before they must leave the country. Reports from
    | the US Congressional Research Service indicate that Indian workers
    | can wait over 190 years for green cards, even after fulfilling all
    | labor requirements, worsening the unstable situation.

    How many H-1B scab worker RIF'd by the Cheap Labor Lobby during the
    Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration has Ur M Jaddou's USCIS.GOV
    deported and will Trump nominate NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli
    to succeed Jaddou?

    "The bill has nothing in it about increasing visa numbers. That's
    how they cleverly duped Republicans. But if this bill goes into
    affect, it would create a train wreck in the legal immigration
    system resulting in forcing congress to INCREASE the GC numbers.
    That's their plan." - U.S. Tech Workers <URL:https://twitter.com/USTechWorkers/status/1206295603535212544>
