    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 19 11:28:45 2025
    Michelle Goldenberg for Forbes on whether Donald Trump will attempt
    to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based,
    immigration reform legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor
    Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's
    Senate.GOV and whether Thiel will allow Vance to wipe away his path
    to WhiteHouse.GOV: <URL:https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliegoldenberg/2025/02/25/the-billionaires-benefitting-from-h-1b-visas/>
    | Determined to keep his job at eBay, Skoll turned to then-Senator
    | Dianne Feinstein of California and then-Vice President Al Gore for
    | assistance, thanks to an introduction made by Steve Westly, a well-
    | connected executive and Democratic donor at eBay. With Feinstein's
    | help, Skoll successfully petitioned for a different kind of visa
    | called an O-1- for immigrants of "extraordinary ability" in business
    | and other fields - before later obtaining his green card and
    | eventually, his U.S. citizenship in 2007. Says Skoll now, "It's not
    | about avoiding hiring Americans. There just aren't enough Americans
    | to fill the needs of these companies."

    What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
    head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
    DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and does
    Susie Wiles foresee any GOP.COM strivers for WhiteHouse.GOV finding a
    sugar daddy to fund the outflanking of Thiel-Vance from the right on
    the National Question by stumping for an immigration moratorium?
