    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether
    Casey DeSantis regrets that Jeff Roe would not allow Ron to invite
    the likes of Mike Emmons to lament Donald Trump's failure to
    convert the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import quota lottery
    to wage ordered queue: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/h-1b-overhaul-plan-risks-undermining-bidens-ai-workforce-policy>
    | Tightening specialty occupation standards by requiring a degree be
    | "directly related" to a position adds unnecessary hurdles for
    | employers and contravenes the Biden executive order, Rep. Zoe
    | Lofgren (D-Calif.) said in public comments on the rule.
    |
    | A Silicon Valley lawmaker, Lofgren has been one of the biggest
    | advocates in Congress for updating the employment-based immigration
    | system.
    |
    | USCIS said in its proposal that the suggested new regulatory
    | language would codify existing practices and shouldn't be read as
    | requiring a singular field of study. For example, a degree in
    | electrical engineering or electronics engineering may qualify for an
    | electrical engineer position, the agency said.

    Will Trump nominate America First Policy Institute/NASSCOM's Chad
    Wolf to succeed Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS.GOV?

    "Those who favor more liberal policies claim Trump oversaw a
    draconian crackdown. Meanwhile, those who prefer more restrictive
    prescriptions were led to believe Trump's tenure was a
    restrictionist paradise. The truth is mixed. 5/" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1623830761282457603>
