Ken Paxton perfectly sums up his likely general election opponent, James Talarico: "We've had Republicans in control since 1994, not a single Democrat statewide." "I don't think there's a place for him to get elected statewide here in Texas. Maybe in California his views would be accepted, but I cannot imagine that once people hear him talk and know what he believes, that he's going to get elected in Texas." Exactly.

So here is some news about HCA Healthcare. They are making progress on firing more American IT staff to reroute it to their India office but now they are looking at what roles at their provider locations (hospitals and clinics) can also be thrown over to visa workers.

I think I’ve figured out that when they say “we’re a nation not an economy” they mean “I can’t stand the thought of anyone here who reminds me how useless I am to society.”

Just a thought: there are more than 18.6 million registered voters in Texas. In the March 3 primary, only about 1/4 of them voted. The good news is the 3/4 who did not vote can cast a ballot in the May 26th runoff. Texas is worth fighting for! Vote!

Why is USA most hated country in India?

🇺🇸🇮🇳 IBM's Indian CEO Arvind Krishna fired 9,000 Americans. IBM continues to actively sponsor H-1B visas (100,00 Indian workers) The company files 3,000 H-1B petitions annually.

About a year ago I was called “crazy” in a high-level strategy meeting. I was the only person in the room treating AI like the structural shift it actually is. I told my peers: “Before long we’re going to be asked to show real ROI on these massive AI investments and that means headcount reductions.” I knew a big chunk of the roles that would become far less critical were the ones they’d flooded with H-1B visa holders. I laid it out plainly: if you keep renewing visas and filing new ones while laying off American workers, the government will eventually have no choice but to change the rules. The responsible move for them was to start modeling natural attrition, let visas expire at term instead of forcing U.S. layoffs. They looked at me like I’d grown a second head. A quarters weeks later I was laid off and the company kept extending visas and filing new ones. They even reportedly initiated the perm process for some employees under different entities. Fast-forward to today - the USCIS policy changes we’re watching unfold right now, the new wage-weighted H-1B selection process, the $100k fee on new overseas petitions and the latest memo tightening adjustment of status, is the pendulum I warned them about. Now that AI is forcing companies to prove efficiency gains and they’re doing it irresponsibly, policymakers have the social capital to finally close the loopholes. Employers who chose to displace Americans while importing replacement labor will have to reevaluate- and do it against a labor pool they’ve already burned. Foresight isn’t crazy, ignoring the intersection of technology disruption and immigration policy was.

I refuse to support any policy that makes it harder for the world's smartest people to come to the US.

I’m not buying it. If MAGA is so desperate to win the midterms that they’re openly pandering to 'Heritage' Americans and Groypers, they’ve already lost. This isn’t making America Great Again. It’s dragging the country backward.

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.
