MEDIA: An anti-immigrant group with links to white nationalism is all over local media -- and it's being falsely billed as left-wing

| In another column, Guzzardi railed against the Biden administration
| for delaying the implementation of higher-wage requirements for H-1B
| visas, the permits given to skilled workers. He also made the wild
| claim that the Department of Labor is trying to actively hurt the
| economy by delaying the rule, pushing a xenophobic theory that the
| American government is seeking to undermine its own economy to
| benefit "the immigration lobby":
|
|| The department isn't concerned about "legality" or "policy
|| consequences," but rather with pressing on with Biden's agenda to
|| subvert American workers, and appease the immigration lobby. The
|| main beneficiaries of the extended delay are corporations that hire
|| H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3 visa employees. Those visa categories apply to,
|| respectively, tech workers, so-called specialty workers from Chile
|| and Singapore, and so-called specialty workers from Australia. A
|| review of the jobs for which foreign-born, alleged specialty workers
|| have been hired shows that the tasks they perform are hardly
|| special, and could easily be done by Americans - teachers,
|| accountants and information technology engineers.
||
|| The website moneycontrol.com, which concentrates on Indian
|| financial news, confirmed that the wage hike delay is "indeed a huge
|| relief" to Indian nationals, since they are the "largest
|| beneficiaries of the visa." In FY 2019, more than 70 percent of H-1B
|| visas issued went to Indians. By extension, a win for Indians and
|| Chinese - the other significant H-1B beneficiaries - also means
|| another setback for American workers hoping to get a fair shake from
|| the Biden administration.

Is the Cheap Labor Lobby happy with Morris Dees and $PLC's overhead
rates?

"Florida's minimum wage hike received more popular support than
either Biden or Trump which is consistent with national trends than
show Latinos generally have a different view of government's role in
society opposed to the bootlicking Reaganism that loses elections.
