    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 13 14:54:18 2025
    Times of India's Swathi Moorthy on what will be the foreign born
    population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV headcounts and share of the
    American labor market in Lori Chavez-DeRemer's DoL.GOV surveys and
    how does Susie Wiles recommend Donald Trump's endorsed successor
    (Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance? Norm Braman's Little Marco Rubio? Another
    GOP.COM striver with a billionaire moneyman?) sell the hard facts on
    the ground to those legacy American proles who thought they voted
    against their dispossession in 2024: <URL:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/h-1b-aspirants-brace-for-longer-waits-denials/articleshow/122212457.cms>
    | "We do expect to eventually start seeing increased scrutiny of H-1B
    | petitions. Given what we saw during Trump's first term in office,
    | and the administration's general skepticism of the positive impact
    | of immigration, it is important to be prepared for what is very
    | likely coming," Joel Yanovich, immigration attorney, Murthy Law Firm
    | said.
    |
    | According to a report from Pew Research Center, under the first
    | Trump administration, denial rates went by as high as 15% in 2018 as
    | they implemented stringent measures for H-1B applicants. In
    | addition, denial rates went as high as 24% for new H-1B applications
    | and 12% for renewal. The report noted that this went to 3% under the
    | Biden administration.

    Will Trump invite Joseph Edlow's USCIS.GOV adjudicators to the
    WhiteHouse.GOV for Big Macs and celebration of their Extreme Vetting
    of the Cheap Labor Lobby's applications for scab workers?

    "The CIA review triggered by Director Ratcliffe was for the
    Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that was conducted in the
    aftermath of the 2016 election. The ICA was also known as the "17
    agency report" relied upon by those who pushed the Trump-Russia
    narrative." - Sundance <URL:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/07/02/cia- director-john-ratcliffe-declassifies-review-of-2016-intelligence- weaponization-and-post-election-intelligence-community-assessment/>
