The Statue of Liberty is a foundational myth of American civic universalism. Originally, it was simply a gift from France to celebrate the Franco-American alliance and the U.S. Centennial - dedicated in 1886. 17 years later, Emma Lazarus’s poem was added to the pedestal. Few people cared. But it wasn’t until the 1930s that pro-immigration advocates retrofitted the poem, and the monument, for their political agenda.

Rise and shine! Nothing goes better with that first cup of coffee than our hot off the press newsletter. ✔️This week DOL announced it is going after H-1B fraud. Is it enough? Get our take. ✔️How STEM OPT devastated the job market for engineers in the Dallas Metroplex – just the facts. ✔️SCOTUS disappoints with decision on birthright citizenship. ✔️Lots of mentions and much more news you can use.

Has anyone noticed that, despite these mass layoffs by tech companies importing H-1B workers, that NO BILL that would restrict H-1B has had a committee hearing in Congress since 1998??

What’s really upsetting is that the same Biden officials who helped bring this Venezuelan migrant through the CBP One App or through the insistence he can just say “I want asylum” at the border are secretly preparing to restart this program when they return to power. I can’t imagine leading a policy that leads to the rape of children and think: 1.) It’s not that bad!, and 2.) I am worthy enough and qualified to be in charge of the same policy portfolio for the country again.

🚨 A 9-year-old girl was snatched off her bike, forced into a car, and r*ped in Illinois by an illegal from Venezuela. JB Pritzker thinks we shouldn't deport this monster.

ITServe Alliance says it stands for "Responsible Workforce Practices" focused on U.S. talent. Yet one of its current Governing Board members, Devender Aerrabolu (Founder & CEO of Tek Leaders), publicly posted a job opening in Hyderabad, India for a Bench Sales Recruiter requiring experience managing OPT, CPT, H-1B, EAD, and Green Card consultants for U.S. IT staffing. If your mission is putting U.S. talent first, why are executives within the organization recruiting overseas to manage America's visa-dependent workforce?

First, no one is entitled to immigration benefits simply because they lived in the U.S. lawfully as a child on a temporary, nonimmigrant, non-dual-intent visa. Second, the law has long been clear that E-2 visas are temporary and do not provide a pathway to permanent residence. Third, once they turned 21 and could no longer remain a dependent on their parents’ E-2 status, they could have pursued another immigration pathway. For example, having an employer sponsor them for an H-1B visa or even directly for an employment-based green card. For Mexican nationals, employment-based green cards generally have no visa backlog. What they’re asking for is essentially an amnesty based solely on having arrived as a child, similar in principle to the rationale behind DACA. Creating a special pathway for this category would likely create incentives for more E-2 visa holders to bring their children with the expectation that those children will eventually receive permanent residence through legislative relief. There’s nothing unique about this situation that requires the government to create a new immigration benefit.

If "lived (here) lawfully" is not some word game, there is zero reason for this person to have to leave.

Look, every time immigration enforcement goes forward, and there is an incident (and there will be incidents because people tend to not submit to authority when they’ve gotten away with breaking the law for a long time), the left is going to try to make a huge issue of it. Every single time. The Trump administration is going to have to become immune to this and just carry forth enforcing immigration law anyway. Ignore it, put your heads down, and do your jobs. When the smoke clears and all is said and done, I promise you history and the American people will remember you well if you do this and don’t succumb to emotional blackmail.

We still have no idea which anonymous masked agent in an unmarked car decided to shoot and kill this man who had lived peacefully in this country for ~4 decades and was traveling to work to support his US citizen family and serve his US citizen customers.

Big Tech is mostly foreigners. They agree with the left about everything except whether they should keep their money. And the few Americans left are mostly (excuse my language) libertarians.
Cernovich@Cernovich

Big Tech spent many millions in support of Ro Khanna. When Ro Khanna flips, all these guys say is, "We regret giving him many millions of dollars." But ask them if they are going to similarly fund right wing candidates and causes, and suddenly they are all broke.

David Bier @David_J_Bier, Director of Immigration Studies at the Cato Institute, is going viral on Bluesky for defending members of a trans death cult accused of the m—rder of a Border Patrol agent. Bier frames a new court allegation filing by the defense as proof DHS lied to justify a traffic stop over immigration. The filing was written by the defense attorney for trans murder suspect Teresa "Milo" Youngblut, who was traveling with a German fellow trans cult member. Bier presents the case as overzealous immigration enforcement causing a deadly shooting, but he conveniently leaves out that the stop was part of an ongoing surveillance operation into members of the Zizians, a trans cult tied to at least eight deaths. The subjects were traveling with weapons, tactical gear, night vision equipment, ballistic helmets, and Faraday-caged phones. A witness at a motel contacted police over their suspicious behavior. The post has been met with widespread defense of the Zizians on Bluesky, with liberals citing it as an example of Trump "fascism" and Border Patrol "Gestapo tactics." Users are claiming Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt, the armed German national who was shot dead during the incident after drawing a gun, is a victim of extrajudicial DHS m—rder. NgoComment.com

The funniest part is watching the Cato crowd suddenly cozy up to regressive leftists because conservatives no longer buy their immigration talking points, while regressive leftists cheer on Cato even though Cato opposes almost everything they believe on issues like the minimum wage, unions, climate policy, GMOs and Medicare for All. The irony is that many on the regressive left seem oblivious to the fact that Cato’s case for higher immigration isn’t driven by progressive values, but by a preference for a larger pool of low-cost labor that benefits employers. Yet they happily amplify Cato on immigration while ignoring that Cato rejects nearly every other part of their agenda.

The H-1B issue will only be solved when CONGRESS solves it. It’s your job to fix bad immigration policy, @Bethvanduyne. But you haven’t cosponsored @RepEliCrane’s End H-1B Visa Abuse Act (HR 8443). Why not?
Beth Van Duyne@Bethvanduyne

So proud of the work @SaraGonzalesTX has been doing @BlazeTV to investigate and expose H-1B visa fraud in North Texas. A reckoning is finally coming because we have an Administration who understands this is not just an American jobs issue, it is a national security issue as well!! Let’s go!! @DOLOIG

In this week's Understanding America, I ask: Are Immigrants Filling Jobs America Wouldn't Need? @commonplc A new paper by Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and coauthors on how demographics affect growth finds that a shrinking pool of young workers lifted output per worker, because scarce labor induces productivity. The mechanism should inform our immigration policy. commonplace.org/p/are-immigran…

The point is that Microsoft is carrying out mass layoffs while continuing to sponsor and renew H-1B visas. That’s what many people find objectionable. It’s also misleading to argue that H-1B workers make up only a small percentage of Microsoft’s workforce. Microsoft consistently ranks among the largest H-1B visa sponsors, filing thousands of H-1B petitions each year. The cumulative impact of that hiring has been significant, including noticeable demographic and cultural changes in surrounding communities. This isn’t a trivial issue, so it’s understandable why many Americans are upset. Microsoft has also been one of the biggest corporate advocates for expanding employment-based visa programs and continues to lobby for more visas while laying off workers. That’s why Americans are upset.
Frank X. Shaw@fxshaw

Lots of bad information out there --let's clear it up. • Recent workforce changes were made to restructure the XBOX business because it is not healthy. They were not made to replace employees with foreign workers. • The H-1B figures being referenced are Microsoft-wide visa renewals and new hire applications. They are not specific to XBOX and represent a small percentage of Microsoft's overall workforce. And the majority of roles impacted were not American roles. • XBOX is the largest employer of American workers in the gaming industry and the largest American gaming company. • And Asha is an American born, raised, and educated CEO, from Wisconsin.

Her parents came to the U.S. on an E-2 visa, which offers no direct path to permanent residency. They knew those rules when they decided to raise their family here. Now she’s arguing that she deserves special immigration treatment simply because she grew up in the U.S. But growing up here doesn’t change the immigration rules her parents knowingly accepted.
