A federal judge rejected the Trump admin's argument the $100,000 H-1B fee was not a “tax” but merely “a regulatory payment.” The Supreme Court has ruled the power to tax belongs to Congress, not the president (or Stephen Miller). @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

The Labor Dept is finalizing a rule to force out H-1Bs by raising their min. wages to baselessly high levels. The new rule would mandate increases of ~$26K and disqualify H-1B wage offers for about 80% of H-1B workers in 2026, including for the most experienced (Level IV)
59% of companies valued at $1 billion+ have an immigrant founder or co-founder, according to @nfapresearch.bsky.social 💪

New NFAP research: Immigrants have founded or cofounded 59% of America’s privately held startup companies valued at $1 billion or more. The collective value of the 455 immigrant-founded billion-dollar companies is $5.0 trillion. @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

DOL’s proposed rule to price H-1B and employment green card holders out of the US labor market is likely illegal. DOL invents facts and uses a questionable methodology to justify raising prevailing wages by up to 33%. @mclem.org @adamposen.bsky.social

New informative interview with @michaelkofman.bsky.social
Some key points:
- 🇷🇺 mil performance is worse, 🇺🇦 is better
- importance of 🇺🇦 "middle strike"
- estimates over 400K Russian fatalities
- challenge of the 🇷🇺 campaign against critical infrastructure
- 🇷🇺 demands unreasonable
- war continues
In a ruling that applies nationwide, a federal judge struck down the Trump administration’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa holders.
“Mass deportation and draconian limits on legal immigration are two sides of the same coin.” www.ms.now/opinion/dhs-...
This illegal wage manipulation will price H-1B workers out of America, many of whom spent years or decades here with their families and will be forced to leave the country when they can't get sponsored or renew. We are harming our country for no reason.

Many tech CEOs have pushed back against the federal immigration crackdown, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Elon Musk, who’s defended H-1B visas.
DOL has offered an arbitrary benchmark, reverse-engineered percentiles, and a self-defeating methodology.
