Associated Press' Elliot Spagat on whether Casey DeSantis regrets
that her path to WhiteHouse.GOV was dashed by Ron's failure to secure
funds from the likes of Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley,
Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch,
Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn
to buy advertisements on Murdoch's FoxNews.COM with the likes of Mike
Emmons warning legacy American proles in Iowa and New Hampshire that
Donald Trump will sign the bipartisan fusion party's comprehensive
immigration reform legislation passed by the likes of Mike Johnson and
John Thune so long as the Cheap Labor Lobby authors generously sprinkle

| H-1B critics generally welcomed the changes but called them
| insufficient.
| 
| The AFL-CIO wrote USCIS that changing this year's lottery "includes
| some steps in the right direction, but falls well short of the
| comprehensive reforms that are needed." Like other critics, the
| labor group wants visas awarded to companies that pay the highest
| wages instead of by random lottery, a change that Donald Trump
| sought while in the White House.

Will AFLCIO.ORG's Liz Shuler and USChamber.ORG's Suzanne Clark again
team up to fortify the election against Trump and for Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris?
