Dear All, Many of you may have learned that India has been hit quite hard with the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. According to India’s health ministry data, the country’s tally has now surged past 21 million cases, boosted by a recent record 412,262 new infections. The number of people who have died due to COVID-19 in India ...

Dear All: Happy Friday! Well, not really, but a close friend cautioned me about what she sensed was a growing sense of pessimism on my part. I assured her that my pessimism was not only healthy, but a survival response in light of the reality that is the Biden administration and the globalist swarm of apparatchiks ...

Effective April 1, tech workers – most notably H-1Bs, F-1 visa holders that may be enrolled in Optional Practical Training work-study programs and seasonal hospitality workers – will once again be able to enter the U.S. to compete with, or displace, American workers.

Dear All: The information on this year’s H-1B visa lottery is beginning to trickle in. For the 2021 fiscal year, there were some 275,000 registrations, and it is rumored for the latest lottery that there have been more than 300,000. I say “rumored” because USCIS is mum on the numbers. At this time last year, we ...

Dear All: With so much attention focused on the U.S. southern border and the flood of migrants racing to get across before the music stops on the Biden administration’s immigration policy snafu, it was easy to overlook the news coming out of Intel Corporation. Earlier this week, Intel announced “significant manufacturing expansion plans, starting with an estimated ...

Dear All: Earlier this week, the deadline passed for filing comments on the H-1B visa rule that prioritizes selection based on HIGHEST wages. The rule change was slated to become effective on Jan. 8 but was delayed by the administration until December. DHS opened up the rule change to public comment. The rule would have eliminated the ...

As is too frequently the case, immigration, and specifically President Biden’s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, is the focal point of the ongoing lopsided battle of the elite versus the working classes.

Dear All: Outside of the weather, the biggest thing to drop on us this week was the Biden administration’s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. The bill is a cornucopia of bad immigration policy, as well as deeply flawed if not out-and-out delusional thinking on how best to deal with legal and illegal immigration. As the title would ...

Dear All: With the onslaught of expansionist-oriented Executive Orders, presidential memos, proclamations and questionable appointees by the current administration in a short time, our staff and activists have been on the offensive. While many are reeling and feeling demoralized, we are mustering every resource we have to inform the public of the negative consequences of undoing ...

President Biden is following in the footsteps of Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump by putting immigration front and center.

PRESS RELEASE Continuing High Unemployment Should Keep us Focused on Jobs for Americans, Including our Doctors 29 January 2021 (WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Doctors without Jobs, a group which works to encourage the adoption of policies that prioritize U.S. doctors for medical residencies, announced the release of a broadcast spot asking why the Association of American Medical ...

Give President Joe Biden grudging credit. Few if any presidential candidates have delivered on their campaign promises with such machine gun fire-like speed as President Biden. If only the newly elected president had paused to ask himself who his kept promises are helping, he’d be better off in the long run. Someone among his confidants should ...

Dear All: Inauguration day has come and gone, leaving those of us in the movement with little more to do than simply look agape as the corporatocracy gloriously reinstalled itself under the watchful gaze of 25,000+ National Guard and Regular Army soldiers. Despite an offer to “reward work, rebuild the middle class and make health care secure ...

  Minister and activist Martin Luther King, Jr., became synonymous with the Civil Rights movement from the mid-1950s through 1968 when he was assassinated. Memorializing King’s birthday each year in January allows us to reflect on this great man’s wisdom, words and vision. Last Thursday a shipment of back issues of Lapham’s Quarterly arrived, and in it ...

From the instant that President Joe Biden takes office, he’ll be under heavy pressure from his base to undo President Trump’s immigration-related Executive Orders. But in most cases, reversing what President Trump has done will be easier said than done. Among the greatest challenges to Biden’s administration will be its response to President Trump’s December 31 ...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a conservative Republican, gave his 2016 presidential campaign a good go. Cruz announced his candidacy in March 2015, ran as an outsider, and outlasted prominent GOP rivals, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. In the end, Cruz fell short, but based on his ...

Dear All: America’s political apparatus is in a state of suspended animation as I write this week’s Corner. The battle wears on to claim a victor in the presidential election. I will not predict a winner, but when it comes to our issue, it’s as clear as day who needs to win. Great strides have been made ...

Relief for U.S. tech workers who have been unfairly displaced by craven employers came late in President Trump’s first, and possibly only, term. But the well-worn axiom applies: better late than never. New Department of Labor and Department of Homeland Security regulations will tighten loopholes that have allowed marginally qualified foreign nationals to come to the ...

When Joe Biden chose California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, he went against tradition. Typically, a presidential nominee selects an individual who will help him win a swing state. In 2020, that might have been Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Minnesota went for Hillary Clinton in 2016, but only by a narrow margin, 46.9 ...

About a decade ago , as I was reading Jared Diamond’s “Collapse,” the questions most prominent in my mind were: How did entire societies of human beings continue over-consuming until they died? Why did a change to a more moderate lifestyle never take hold?” Of course these questions are the stuff that keeps thinking people up ...

Dear All: I’m not sure who other than John R. has played rugby. I played for a few years when I was in the Army in the 1980s and as you could imagine, unlike me, many of those on our side had played a good bit of U.S. football. I recall a conversation I had with ...

After the first presidential debate mercifully ended, Fox News analyst and moderator Chris Wallace called the free-for-all “interesting.” A better word is ugly. Challenger Joe Biden sunk to calling President Trump names: “liar,” “racist,” “clown” and resorted to an unprecedented presidential political insult, “Will you shut up, man.” As for President Trump, in some viewers’ opinions, ...

Once again, the Deep State has set out to undermine President Trump. And in the process, career bureaucrats and entrenched Capitol Hill never-Trumpers are attempting to put the skids to U.S. tech workers. The issue, as per usual, is well-paying, white-collar jobs that Department of Homeland Security and Department of State want to give away ...

Dear All: As we come to the end of the third quarter of 2020 we’re met with news of an additional 870,000 first-time jobless claims filed in the past week, bringing the total receiving unemployment benefits to roughly 12.6 million. Of course this does not factor in those no longer receiving unemployment benefits, those who are discouraged ...

Three years ago, President Trump issued his “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order. But as the November election draws closer, many critics insist that President Trump has come up short on his promise to “hire American.” The president’s myriad critics cynically joke that COVID-19 has been more effective at slowing the foreign-born worker influx, especially ...

Dear All: Once again, I am at a loss to shed any light on the much-anticipated H-1B visa rule changes. As of yesterday, they appear to be making their requisite bureaucratic rounds and are now at the Office of Management and Budget. Fingers crossed that what will eventually emerge will be something to celebrate. Earlier this week, ...

Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ Democratic National Convention acceptance speech failed to provide answers to voters seeking insight into how new leadership might help them get a better job or earn a higher wage. Polling taken just a week before Harris addressed the DNC found that the economy remains the most vital issue to nearly eight ...

When President Trump signed his Executive Order that banned federal contractors from hiring foreign-born H-1B visa holders, an historic moment occurred in the three-decade long effort to protect American workers’ jobs. The president’s order will require all federal agencies to complete an internal audit to assess whether they’re in compliance with the requirement that such ...

From Congress’ 435 U.S. representatives and 100 senators, only about 10 percent can be classified as solidly pro-American worker. Their immigration voting records prove their inexplicable indifference to American workers’ fates. Whether the immigration category is lawful permanent residents who arrive at the rate of more than 1 million annually, refugees, asylees and employment-based visa ...
