    Steve Forbes' guest blogger, Emma Whitford on whether Donald Trump
    has ordered Susie Wiles to share with Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance
    Trump's MAGA marketing research gathered by Wiles (and Bill Stepien
    before her (and Brad Parscale before him)) and do legacy American
    prole moms and dads dream of their sons and daughters growing up
    to be doctors and nurses: <URL:https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawhitford/2025/06/13/trumps-visa-ban-is-barring-new-foreign-doctors-from-entering-us/>
    | Suraj Kunhi Purayil has already spent time in U.S. hospitals. Born
    | and now living in India, he completed medical school in the
    | Caribbean and completed his third and fourth year clinical
    | clerkships at a hospital in Michigan. He's supposed to start a
    | residency at an Ohio hospital on July 1, but his J-1 visa was
    | rejected because the immigration officers assumed Kunhi Purayil
    | intended to immigrate to the U.S. He said he's not sure exactly why
    | they came to that conclusion, but figures that the time he's already
    | spent in the U.S., which helped his chances at snagging a residency
    | spot, could be working against him on his visa application. "They
    | mostly wanted to know why we traveled to the U.S ... so I explained
    | to them it's part of my med school curriculum where I have to go do
    | 74 weeks of clinical clerkship in the U.S," Kunhi Purayil says. "I
    | think that might not have been a satisfactory answer." (Many of the
    | students at Caribbean medical schools are U.S. citizens who couldn't
    | snag one of the limited spots at U.S. medical schools and clerkships
    | at U.S. hospitals is one of their selling points.)

    Will Trump award Kevin Lynn and his DoctorsWithoutJobs.ORG the
    Presidential Medal for Freedom?

    "Liberals, leftists, progressives, and similar inclined to praise
    the Danish government's sensible and humane economic response to the
    crisis should know the Social Democrats gained power by shifting
    right on immigration to cater to working class public opinion (NZ
    Labour too)." - Matthew Yglesias <URL:https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1259475585941884931>
