    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 16 10:35:51 2023
    Detroit News' Melissa Nann Burke on whether Donald Trump regrets
    slow-walking the reform of the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker
    import quota lottery to a wage ordered queue: <URL:https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/michigan/2023/05/09/michigan-lawmakers-object-to-fee-hikes-for-guest-worker-visas/70196027007/>
    | In his comments, Stupak argued that the agency's rule doesn't
    | clearly define or document its rationale for the "exorbitant" fee
    | increases in the employment-based or immigrant benefit request
    | programs, and notes the agency also doesn't explain how the new fees
    | will result in increased services for paying customers.
    |
    | Stupak said the overall fee proposal would cost Mission Point an
    | additional $25,000 in fees if it's adopted. He noted that even fees
    | for pre-registration are going up ($10 to $215 or a 2,050% increase)
    | for the H-1B program, which applies to employers seeking to hire
    | nonimmigrant workers in specialty occupations.
    |
    | "If you want to increase the fees, fine, but then improve the
    | program," Stupak said. "Why are we paying these increased fees when
    | we're getting nothing back from it?"

    Does Susie Wiles worry that Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow
    Ron DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right on the National Question
    by inviting the likes of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stump?
