The anonymous Times of India hack on whether NeverBackDown.ORG's
Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advised Casey DeSantis to dispatch
Ron to David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to plead for permission to
use the campaign donations from the likes of Miriam Adelson, Edward
DeBartolo, Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Julie Jenkins
Fancelli, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch,
Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn
to buy campaign advertisements on Murdoch's FoxNews.COM featuring the
likes of Mike Emmons impeaching Donald Trump for taking Jared
Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign
trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

| "Students frequently sought help when their optional practical
| training (OPT) applications were mishandled, threatening job offers
| they had already accepted. Perhaps, most telling was a case
| involving an F-1 student whose OPT application was erroneously
| rejected because USCIS misinterpreted her evidence. She had already
| missed her start date with a major tech company when we approached
| the CIS Ombudsman. They quickly identified the error and facilitated
| reopening of the case, saving both her job and legal status," said
| Khanna.
| 
| Sharvari Dalal-Dheini, shares an example where an international
| student had paid the STEM OPT fee, but the payment was rejected two
| months after submission due to a bank processing error (which they
| admitted). The student could not reapply as the application window
| had closed. The CIS Ombudsman negotiated with the USCIS and was able
| to get the student reapproved.

Will Trump order Joseph Edlow's USCIS.GOV to rescind George Bush and
Barack Obama's extralegal OPT segment of the Cheap Labor Lobby's F-1
to OPT to H-1 scab worker import pipeline?

"I'm skeptical govt agencies can ever meaningfully determine labor
needs "not met by the existing labor supply". That's why guestworker
programs should be abolished altogether. But even if it were
possible, the current labor market tests for issuing work visas are
a sham." - Mark Krikorian
