Gov. Abbott lays out plan to transport migrants to US Capitol
Washington, D.C. (April 7, 2022) – Every spring, the H-1B lottery for “temporary” white-collar workers takes place. The H-1B visa program is often referred to as a program exclusively for the “best and brightest”, but the overwhelming majority of the 85,000 visas go to alien workers at the two lowest prevailing wage levels. Why would the best and brightest work at a steeply discounted rate?
The Trump administration attempted to make the program more merit-based through rulemaking. Candidate Joe Biden endorsed the rule in his platform, calling for a more merit-based immigration system. Yet the Biden administration killed the change despite it being a final rule, having gone through the notice and comment period, and having already been published and scheduled to take effect.
Robert Law, the Center’s director of regulatory affairs and policy and a former director of policy at USCIS, discusses how the Trump administration sought to revise the H-1B selection process by allocating H-1B visas based on the highest skills and wage level rather than at random, and describes how the H-1B program will now once again be inefficiently administered by allowing the lowest qualified foreign workers to capture the majority of the visas.
Using the H-1B rule as an example, Law describes the broader Biden administration’s strategy to bypass the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requirements to neuter regulations it dislikes – a new and growing form of lawfare. But he also provides suggestions of potential safeguards that could be adopted.
In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center’s executive director and the host of Parsing Immigration Policy, speaks to the potential impact of the Biden administration’s lifting of Title 42-- a public health measure that allows DHS to quickly expel illegal migrants without a hearing—on May 23. DHS estimates that as many as 18,000 migrants could be apprehended a day after Title 42 ends. How will the Biden administration handle the expected surge? Listen to Krikorian’s prediction - the administration will not halt the surge; rather, they will use a recently crafted regulation to launder it by immediately granting asylum to hundreds of thousands who jump the border.
Amazon, this year alone, petitioned for nearly 3,000 employment-based green cards for their foreign visa workers and foreign nationals seeking to take high-paying white collar jobs. Microsoft and Google, likewise, petitioned for more than 3,300 employment-based green cards.
More than one million white-collar American jobs today are held by foreign visa workers.
Big Brother Is Watching: Amazon Worker Chat App to Ban Naughty Words Like ‘Union,’ ‘Restrooms,’ ‘Pay Raise’
An automatic word monitor in a new Amazon worker chat app will ban a variety of words and phrases, such as “union,” “fairness,” “pay raise,” “slave labor,” and “master,” among other terms, according to internal documents obtained by the Intercept.
Amazon will block and flag employee posts on an internal messaging app that the company deems problematic, according to internal company documents obtained by the Intercept. The app is still in the planning phase and has not yet been launched.

The word “restrooms” is reportedly on the list of censored words — following reports of Amazon warehouse employees feeling the need to urinate in trash cans and bottles in order to avoid being scolded over bathroom breaks.
“Our teams are always thinking about new ways to help employees engage with each other,” Amazon spokesperson Barbara M. Agrait told the Intercept. “This particular program has not been approved yet and may change significantly or even never launch at all.”
Late last year, Amazon held a meeting where top executives talked about creating an internal social media app that would allow employees to praise their co-workers’ performance by giving them “Shout-Outs,” a source told the Intercept.
The goal of the Shout-Outs was foster happiness and productivity among Amazon employees, according to Head of Worldwide Consumer Business Dave Clark.
But Amazon officials also discussed what they called “the dark side of social media,” and therefore decided to actively monitor posts in order to ensure a “positive community.”
So an “auto bad word monitor” was put together, which included a blacklist that would automatically block employees from sending a message that contains profane or inappropriate words.
But profanities were not the only words added to the blacklist, reports the Intercept.
Some of the other words and terms to be added to the blacklist included the following, according to documents reviewed by the outlet:
Accessibility Bullying Coalition Committee Compensation Concerned Diversity Ethics Fairness Favoritism Fire Freedom Grievance Harassment I don’t care I hate Injustice Living Wage Master Pay Raise Petition Plantation Prison Rate Representation Restrooms Robots Rude Senior Ops Slave Slave labor Stupid Terminated This is concerning This is dumb Threat TOT Trash Unfair Union Unite/unity Vaccine
Amazon, however, denies that “many” of the words mentioned would be blocked on the internal messaging app.
“If it does launch at some point down the road, there are no plans for many of the words you’re calling out to be screened,” the Amazon spokesperson insisted. “The only kinds of words that may be screened are ones that are offensive or harassing, which is intended to protect our team.”
Last week, Amazon workers at a warehouse in Staten Island, New York, voted to unionize — a first for the company.
