Important context on stateside processing: The U.S. did this since 2004, then stopped until we could collect process biometrics domestically. Despite the Bush Admin recommending we reinstate stateside processing in 2008, we still haven't. www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/ass...

Bernie's op-ed about H-1Bs is misleading. The website he cites to prove his point that Tesla pays low wages says that they offer a median salary of $145,000 and only 7% of offered salaries are less than $100,000. h1bdata.info/index.php?em...

Bernie staffer: "H-1Bs are cheap labor replacing Americans."

Me: Actually when you adjust for age, H-1Bs make significantly more than their American counterparts. And they're among the top 10% of income earners.

Bernie staffer: The fact that they're young is part of the scam!

China is consolidating the world's top AI talent. In 2019 China had 29% of the world's top AI reseachers. Now it has 47% and the U.S. has 18%. To reverse these trends, we need to expand skilled immigration ASAP. nap.nationalacademies.org/download/27787

Nancy Mace's signature accomplishment since getting elected to Congress is her influence on Capitol Hill bathroom policy. Her second most impactful accomplishment was renaming a post office.

Throw back to when the Trump Administration tried to "save money" by printing fewer green cards, triggering a lawsuit and a court order forcing the admin to continue printing them.
