    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 20 12:09:22 2024
    Seattle Times' Paul Roberts on whether Donald Trump will attempt to
    enlist VP JD Vance to serve as his Deputy Chief Salescritter for
    Trump's bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based, immigration reform
    legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by
    Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV and will Trump
    and Peter Thiel withhold their endorsement from Vance 2028 if Vance
    refuses to participate in the betrayal of legacy American proles and
    their posterity: <URL:https://www.seattletimes.com/business/wa-businesses-brace-for-curbs-on-immigration-trade-under-trump-2-0/>
    | But more restrictive hiring regulations could be even more
    | burdensome for smaller tech firms, which also heavily rely on
    | foreign-born labor to fill their ranks.
    |
    | "The expectation is that it's (going to be) harder to hire now,"
    | said Jerry Lopez, founder of a 50-person tech firm called
    | NoiseFigure Research in Renton, who says foreign applicants have
    | outnumbered American citizens by 4 or 5 to 1.
    |
    | Lopez worries that if Trump again restricts hiring of foreign
    | workers, the competition for talent in the tech sector will heat
    | back up and put smaller firms at a disadvantage against the deep-
    | pocketed tech giants, much as happened during COVID-19. "It's about
    | to start again."

    Will Trump nominate Eugene Scalia to succeed Julie Su at DoL.GOV,
    how much does he expect wages to rise for legacy American proles
    under Buy Americam, Hire American and will Thune's Senate.GOV
    consent?
