Trump's Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence (Sriram Krishnan) has only a bachelor's degree from SRM in India. Ranked #601 in the world for Computer Science skills.
Where's the AI policy?
Where is America's AI policy?
The White House hired Sriram Krishnan to develop our policy.
Sri's not an engineer. He's a grad of India's #1501 ranked Anna U.
In broken English, he says communication is his strongest skill, and he has few tech skills.

Marci Rubio deftly managed a foolish Indian reporter (@WION) that falsely accused the USA of making "racist comments" about Indians.
The reporter couldn't provide one example of any such comment. LOL.
ICE cracks down on 10,000 potential fraud cases in OPT job program. Foreign companies are using the Optional Practical Training to avoid the cost of hiring higher-paid Americans.
This is a good start! The H-1B program should be next!

US charges Indian & Singapore companies with fraud.
They used unqualified foreign workers to operate a ship in the USA. Due to their negligence, the ship wrecked and did $5B of damage to a Baltimore bridge.
US taxpayers will pay the damages, of course.

Trump is planning to raise H-1b minimum salaries, and to make them 25~30% more expensive next year.
The plan awaits Dept of Labor approval.

This year's Bloodletting H-1B Job Lottery is over.
Another 200,000 jobs sold out to foreign workers:
- 65,000 bachelor's
- 20,000 master's
- 35,000 non-profit - cap exempt
- 80,000 H4 EAD spouse workers
plus their friends & relatives, of course
Looks like new H1B wage rules are inbound, via Rule 1205-AC30!
Various proposals are being finalized to raise the floor. Hopefully, a $150k minimum H-1B wage will be one of the changes.

Connecticut joined the suit against the $100k H1b visa fee, saying UConn can't afford the fee.
UConn employs ~600 H1B's, median $65k/yr. Mostly research assistants & professors.
***Why is UConn incapable of educating their own research staff?***

Tricolor specialized in car loans for alien workers in Texas and California. When too many deadbeat foreign workers abandoned their cars, and returned to their homelands, Tricolor filed for bankruptcy.

Grok agrees! It's time to address the H1B issue.
"Scrutiny of H1B's potential to displace American workers is warranted and overdue..."

Scrutiny of H1B's potential to displace American workers is warranted and overdue. While the program aims to fill genuine skill gaps, evidence from sources like the Economic Policy Institute shows it can depress wages in tech by 5-20% for similar roles, prioritizing employer flexibility over worker protections. Reforms such as stricter labor market tests and prevailing wage enforcement could mitigate harms without stifling innovation. True competition benefits everyone when rules ensure fair play.

#Ashleytellis
Ashley Tellis (allegedly) has been covertly meeting with Chinese officials for years, including at a Sept. 2 dinner in Fairfax, VA. Near the end of that dinner, Chinese officials gave Tellis a "red gift bag," according to court documents. (This last part from Fox News.)

Ashley Tellis was under surveillance as he downloaded USAF aircraft details in a US govt cubicle. Then he promptly handed Chinese officials a gift bag.
Now, after being arrested, Tellis says the bag was only “a small gift of tea”.
Ashley thinks prosecutors are stupid.
