Immigration attorneys carry the weight of others’ lives. I grew up watching it firsthand from my father... The 4 a.m. calls with terrified clients before visa appointments. Taking on pro bono cases when no one else would. Suing the U.S. State Department to get people in—when they were already approved. This is one of the highest-stakes, least recognized areas of law. Every case is someone’s life—their job, their family, their future. That ends here. 🏆 Introducing The Immies — national awards honoring immigration attorneys who are actually moving the field forward. 10 categories. 2-minute nominations. If someone just came to mind—nominate them. ⏰ Open until May 30 👉 lnkd.in/g6Xq2FX3 Tag an immigration attorney who deserves this. #TheImmies #immigration #immigrationlaw

After 3 recent webinars with top U.S. immigration attorneys about the upcoming H-1B lottery, here are the factors companies should be thinking about: 1️⃣ This is a strong year to enter talent into the lottery. Some estimates say up to 50%, others 10–20% — largely due to the $100K fee for talent abroad. That could mean the highest selection rates in a decade for change-of-status cases (foreign nationals already in the U.S.). (Insight from @GreenAndSpiegel ) 2️⃣ The $100K fee may not last Two active court cases could overturn the proclamation as early as March. Many companies are still registering talent abroad so they can file if the courts rule against the fee. (Insight from Jesse Bless) 3️⃣ The weighted lottery changes strategy Companies can think more creatively about specialty occupation categories. Some categories have lower prevailing wage bands, allowing sponsorship in higher bands without increasing salary. (Insight from Jeff Goldman)

We’re the nation that allows you to worship freely without fear. It’s part of the essence of who we are.

@Acyn Blaming immigrants for housing prices (and frankly everything wrong in this country) is lazy economics. We don’t have a people problem — we have a housing supply problem.

Vance: If you have fewer people, fewer illegal aliens trying to buy homes, that means American citizens are finally going to be able to afford a home again. It's very, very simple economics

@ninaturner What do we think he will do with his money when he dies?

Elon Musk is now worth $600 billion. Someone working at the federal minimum wage would have to work 9.45 million years to make that much money. We are all so much closer to being homeless than being a billionaire. Tax the rich.

For many this highlights the nuance in the narratives pushed upon us all by the media - that it's "Jews vs. Muslims". A Muslim just saved countless Jews' lives. And many Jews around the world - like my mother leading therapy groups for Afghan refugees in Boston - support Muslims every day. But that isn't sexy - it doesn't go viral.

We should reward this family as well. Can someone set up a @gofundme?

@j_fishback AGREE we need Americans to get jobs, but DISAGREE that this is the issue - students are not selecting majors where there are labor shortages. There is a national talent gap for accountants. People taking their CPA exam has declined by more than 30 percent since 2016 @Talentfoot talentfoot.com/cpa-time-to-fi…

As Florida Governor, I'll end the H-1B scam so our workers (especially recent grads) can get jobs again.

@KateClarkTweets Kate - I'm here to talk anything immigration and startups, such as how the $100,000 H-1B fee or weighted H-1B lottery impacts the startup ecosystem in Q1 2026.

It’s my first day at The Wall Street Journal covering startups, VC, AI and more. Confidential tips welcome: kate.clark@wsj.com | Signal: 415-409-9095.

@CoryBooker I watched this and went down a Chat GPT rabbit hole asking "Does Corey Booker have a good chance of beating Vance in 2028?". It says you do. Let's go! Grievance populism is exhausting people.

The chaos and cruelty of Trump and Noem’s policy are endangering veterans and American citizens.

@CoryBooker This should make it clear that much of what is being done right now is for optics, not for America. Thank you @CoryBooker for bringing to light real events and hearings - not just opinionated news reports - as to what is happening right now.

Nitin from @UnshackledVC advised not to fundraise just to get O-1 evidence. Bootstrap if you can. Build and then find the immigration solution that works.

Last week in SF, I moderated a panel on navigating immigration challenges for founders. One takeaway stood above the rest: Immigration should not drive your business decisions.

I've been building a remote team for 5 years. I only hire doers, creators, and self-motivated humans. Both Danila and Ian are founders themselves. Their owner mindset makes them successful all the way from Argentina & Michigan! But nothing beats getting together in person.

🚨I PRESSED President Trump on H-1B visas.🚨 “If you want to RAISE WAGES for Americans, you can’t flood the country with THOUSANDS of foreign workers.” @POTUS: “You have to bring in talent… You can’t take people off the unemployment line and say, ‘go make missiles.’” The debate continues.

@IngrahamAngle @POTUS One challenge is that 70% of the top U.S. AI startups backed by venture capital have an immigrant co-founder who first came to the U.S. as an international student. We cannot afford to lose this talent. America will fall behind. Source: ifp.org/wp-content/upl…
