idliman...this is not against what you commented on, but on the original poster of that comment.Quote:

Did you guys hear any rumours around floor vote for 386?
No. Did you?Quote:

WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court gave the go-ahead on Monday for one of President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies, allowing his administration to implement a rule denying legal permanent residency to certain immigrants deemed likely to require government assistance in the future.
The justices, on a 5-4 vote, granted the administration’s request to lift a lower court’s injunction that had blocked the so-called public charge policy, which has been criticized by immigrant rights advocates as a “wealth test” that would disproportionately keep out non-white immigrants.
This will in no way impact legal, legitimate , tax paying immigrants - so don't be sad. Don't we all pay taxes ? This rule is for people who "Game the System" and live on tax payer's money, please read it and understand before feeling "SAD". Conserving tax payer's money is not bad. As you said , DT may win DACA case as well - unfortunate. But, public charge rule is good in my personal opinion.Quote:

It is true that it is very unlikely that EB candidates are affected. It's mostly about Family Migration and that too mostly illegal one.
Good One Sir .. this quote comes from Emma LazarusÂ’ sonnet AKA "Statue of Liberty poem" , It is quite forgotten after the Statue of liberty immigrated to US from France !!! I am just saying in a lighter mood, no offense to any one.Quote:

At the same time there is also push-back from some quarters adding new temp workers will dampen the wage growth etc., etc., The reason I bring this up is because this may present an opportunity to get consensus on S386, it will be interesting to see if any attempt would be made by Senator Lee or others to roll everything into a single package.
The clause E should be somewhere around 4 years. Not that I want people to wait for an extended period to file I-485. But I can see, big Indian companies abusing this clause by applying labor and I-140 for applicants and bring them directly on L1/B1 and converting to EAD without the need for H1. Thus they could flood the market with folks working for less. My two cents. Let me know if I am incorrect in my assumptions.
I don't think you can apply for 140 while on B1 as the Business visa is not a work permit. And getting the EAD give a liberty for people to move between employers. And there could be more filings in L1, but that can always go for reviews like the present scenario. And any way everyone in L1 is going for a EB1 filing these days.Quote:

It seems D has NASSCOM written all over it and E has IT Serve....
Moment a person will get EAD/AP they will move to other employer instead of sticking to Indian IT firms. One of the big reason these firms where not filing for H1-B and went to L1 route in 2010s. Don't know if it still holds true or not as all I heard that H1 and L1 is pretty hard to get if JD says consultant / analyst.Quote:

They have to hire locally...Quote:

I do agree that it's easier to move around once you have EAD (but the companies have indulged in questionable tactics to make workers stay with them before). But I was more concerned by the fact that now there is no numerical cap like 65,000 (H1s) restricting companies as they will have more ways to work around the annual cap. Clamping down on L1's will only push the companies to using the EAD loopholes. Again there is no perfect solution. Agreed!
Breitbart's reporter Neil Munro is the worst person, I have ever seen. He writes all cooked up stories on the #s386 bill, not a line of it is correct. I am not sure why he hates it so much.Quote:

He has zero common sense and no interest in learning about #s386, but kept trolling.
These right wing nuts don't deserve any room for doubt. They are racist. Period. Never ever mistake them for anything else.
Their boss is on record saying very clearly that immigration from Norway is good but others not so.
They are not fighting for little guy in Pennsylvania; they are fighting with an imaginary cultural attack from not-white people. If these guys were indeed worried about the little guy in PA then they would have fought for him long time back when millions of low paying manufacturing jobs moved to China. Even today most of Trump stuff is made in China. (which by the way I am all for. I am just pointing out the hypocrisy).
The liberal+libertarian masonic system of American government has created unprecedented wealth for all sections of the society here in the US. These extreme right wing morons if unchecked are going to ruin it. As far as immigrants go, I can't stress it enough, you can use republicans all you want. But, while there certainly are many good republicans; the fact of the matter is, the racists by and large belong to GOP.
I know Q and i did try to separate the comments on two. 1 and 3 are only for the right wing part. Probably should have ordered differently.
