Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-01-26
I have not published "daily" Pook-Emu Bee links since June 23. But today is the start of a new month. Let us turn over a new leaf in July with the Pook-Emu Bee. 1. Nina Totenberg Sincerely Apologizes For An Inexplicable Error (Josh Blackman at The Volokh Conspiracy. June 30, 2026.) Her explanation for falsely reporting that Justice Alito was retiring makes no sense. But then again, even given her partisan impulses (noted by Mr. Blackman in the article), it is hard to figure what the game […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-07-01-26/

/2 #MyThoughts –
Good. Trump's imposition of the exorbitant fees on certain work visas puts an unfair burden on companies, especially in certain industries (eg., tech & healthcare). And it compromises smaller businesses who will fare worse than larger ones with more means.
Also, it's interesting that the judge called the imposition of those fees on #H1B work visas taxation, effectively making Trump's fees taxation without representation (via Congress).

Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?
This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.
It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).
We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.
Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.
Incredible waste and inefficiency.

🛂 Silicon Valley can’t import talent like before. So it’s exporting jobs
｢ For every H-1B rejection, companies hire 0.4-0.9 employees abroad, and most of these roles are concentrated in India, China, and Canada, the study found. ｣

#Texas Gov #GregAbbott ordered an investigation into the #H1B #visa program in the state, & directed #state agencies & #universities to suspend new visa petitions.
"In light of recent reports of abuse in the federal H-1B visa program, & amid the federal government’s ongoing review of that program to ensure American jobs are going to American workers, I am directing all state agencies to immediately freeze new H-1B visa petitions," Abbott said.

But that's going as planned.🤷🏿♀️ They've been at wαr wιth Black ppl thιs whole tιme. But in addition to that, the #government has allowed the #billionaires to finally wreck the white mιddle class and replace their labor with #h1b and approved immigrants. 🤷🏿♀️ They're tιred of hving to care abt American #labor.

CW: H-1B US visa question
There is a #Trump proclamation (few months old) that imposes an additional fine ($100k) for applying to a new H1-B visa (the type that is used a lot by researchers).
Does anyone know for sure (with a source please) if this applies to those who are already in the US (for any reason, e.g. you were on a different visa or you are in the grace period of a visa)?
The original proclamation is here and doesn't mention exceptions for already being in the country, just that it doesn't apply to H-1B renewals...

Apple ostrzega pracowników: „Nie wyjeżdżajcie z USA, bo możecie nie wrócić”. Powodem… kontrola social mediów
Praca w Apple Park to marzenie wielu, ale dla tysięcy inżynierów na wizach właśnie zamieniła się w „złotą klatkę”.
Apple, Google i Microsoft rozsyłają do swoich pracowników pilne notatki: jeśli wyjedziecie z USA na święta, możecie utknąć za granicą nawet na rok. Wszystko przez procedury wizowe, które wymagają pełnego prześwietlenia cyfrowego życia. Co istotne, social media screening istnieje w USA od 2019 roku, te przepisy się nie zmieniły teraz, zaostrzono jedynie procedury.
Kancelaria prawna Fragomen (obsługująca Apple) wysłała do pracowników na wizach H-1B (specjaliści) jasny komunikat: „Stanowczo odradzamy podróże międzynarodowe”.
Pokaż Facebooka, albo nie wjedziesz
Powodem paraliżu nie jest wirus czy polityczny ban, ale biurokracja i inwigilacja. USA wprowadziły nowe wymogi „social media screening” dla wnioskujących o wizy (i ich rodzin). Co to oznacza w praktyce?
Wnioskodawca musi podać wszystkie nazwy użytkownika (handles) z serwisów społecznościowych z ostatnich 5 lat. Wymagane jest ustawienie profili jako publiczne, aby urzędnik konsularny mógł przejrzeć historię aktywności.
Rok czekania na powrót
Nowe procedury sprawiły, że systemy w ambasadach (m.in. w Irlandii czy Wietnamie) się zatkały. Czas oczekiwania na „pieczątkę” w paszporcie wydłużył się w skrajnych przypadkach do 12 miesięcy. Choć wymóg ujawniania kont w mediach społecznościowych formalnie istnieje od kilku lat, obecnie został rozszerzony i zaostrzony proceduralnie — co w praktyce oznacza ręczną analizę profili i gigantyczne opóźnienia.
Dla Apple to gigantyczny problem operacyjny – tylko w 2024 roku firma złożyła wnioski o 3880 wiz H-1B. Jeśli ci ludzie wyjadą teraz do rodzin na święta, mogą nie wrócić do biurek w Cupertino przez wiele miesięcy.
To przerażający precedens, który pokazuje, że w cyfrowym świecie granice państw zaczynają przebiegać także przez profile na Instagramie i X (Twitterze).

When #ICE starts #kidnapping, #abducting, #disappearing the #H1b #immigrants, that's when #BIgTech will begin to give half a damn.
I expect some of the #staff that keep #DodgerStadium a #destination ballpark are the same folks who ICE wants to round up.
Seriously, I haven't followed #baseball since the #Astros were put in the junior circuit, though, allowing for #inflation, there are probably a few #Dodgers players who make over $1M, so this is petty cash.
Don't let the #marketing fool you, this is primarily intended to #protect their #assets.

"In 2013, a billboard was erected in Silicon Valley with a blunt invitation to immigrant STEM workers:
“H-1B Problems?” it stated.
“Pivot to Canada.”
"The billboard was part of a targeted campaign by the Canadian government to attract disaffected immigrant STEM workers to Canada.
"The campaign worked."
"From 2006 to 2012, Mexico opened 120 tuition-free specialist technology universities."
