walking John Miano's lawsuit to rescind the extra-legal OPT program: <URL:

| Despite decades of persistent lobbying by tech companies, Congress
| refused to permanently expand the H-1B visa pool. However, these
| companies did not reach their unprecedented power and success by
| rolling over and accepting defeat; backup schemes were concocted,
| and soon the usual winners were back on top. A 2007 dinner party,
| hosted by the owner of the Washington Nationals, brought about a
| fateful conversation between Microsoft lobbyists and DHS Secretary
| Michael Chertoff. Months later, Chertoff's agency published a rule
| extending STEM OPT to 29 months (with a further 2016 extension to 36
| months). DHS, in its own words, intended to use this OPT extension
| as a way to circumvent Congress' cap on H-1Bs, a policy explicitly
| implemented to protect American workers and students. OPT
| authorizations, unlike H-1Bs, are uncapped. This is the
| administrative state at its absolute worst.
Does Susie Wiles worry that Miriam Adelson, Ken Griffin, Lachlan
Murdoch and David Sacks will allow Ron DeSantis to seize the right
high ground of the National Question from Trump by inviting the likes
of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stump to talk about affordable
family formation?
