    Axios's Hope King on whether Kellyanne Conway fears Ken Griffin and
    Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron DeSantis to outflank Donald Trump on
    the right of the National Question by inviting the likes of Mike
    Emmons onto their campaign stage: <URL:https://www.axios.com/2022/12/06/tech-layoffs-h1b-visas-immigration>
    | What they're saying: "H-1B holders in the 60-day grace period need
    | more time to find new jobs beyond the holidays, but time will run
    | out for many in early January," Sophie Alcorn, CEO of Alcorn
    | Immigration Law, tells Axios.
    |
    | Workers in this situation may be forced to leave their homes for
    | an indefinite period of time as certain U.S. Consulates or embassies
    | around the world often have wait times of 3-plus years for new visa
    | interviews, Alcorn adds.
    |
    | One silver lining: For employers looking to hire, "this is an
    | amazing opportunity to retain brilliant, experienced workers who
    | will be grateful for a long time for the opportunity to stay in the
    | country," she previously told the Society for Human Resource
    | Management.
