Tish James defeats the con artist again

We won our case against the Trump administration for trying to destroy the H-1B visa program.

Thousands with these visas serve New Yorkers as doctors, teachers, and other skilled workers.

I'll keep fighting to protect them and our immigrant communities.

That's the thing. The GOPs aren't afraid of him. They're all in on his white supremacist abuse, destruction, and theft. And there are too many Dems rolling over and voting with the complicit and racist GOPs in 2026 and for the last 10 years.

when you have the rule of law on your side.
However, in this Mis-administration, the law isn’t always respected - or followed.

Now what?

1. Immediate appeal to the notorious 3-judge panel. Appeal to the full district court. Emergency petition to the SCOTUS.
2. Admin ignores the order, continues to enforce the fee.

The H1-B visa program has been abused by corporate America to undercut wages for certain groups of professionals in the tech industry. It’s use should be strictly controlled, and only allowed where there is a demonstrated lack of qualified people to fill job positions.

Feel free to flame me if you wish, just know I won’t respond, and yes, I was in the tech industry and personally saw qualified US workers displaced by low cost “imports”.

I've observed this myself.
On the other hand, the H1-B individuals were qualified and very able tech industry professionals. I enjoyed working with them for the most part. Their lunches smelled lovely! :-D
