DHS to Reform H-1B Program, End Work Permits for H-4 Visa Holders

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, USCIS Director Francis Cissna wrote, that the agency plans to tighten guidelines on H-1B visas issued to specialty workers and end the issuance of work permits to H-4 visa holders.

In 2015, the Obama Administration approved a federal regulation that allowed H-4 visa holders -- spouses of H-1B visa holders -- to receive a worker permit without congressional approval. USCIS has been working for several months to propose a new regulation that would rescind the Obama-era regulation.

Additionally, USCIS plans to propose a regulation that would limit the issuance of specialty occupation H-1B visas only to foreign workers with special skills not available in the U.S. and require higher wages for visa recipients. This regulation will, in effect, cut unnecessary H-1B visas in specialty occupation fields where there is an abundance of qualified American graduates already vying for work. The regulation’s provision to increase wages for H-1B workers should result in higher pay for American workers.

The H-1B visa program has pushed thousands of American workers in a variety of fields out of jobs by enabling employers to hire foreign workers at a lower wage. The current broad definition of specialty occupation allows companies to pay foreign workers much less to do “high-skilled” jobs than if they were to hire Americans. In an effort to prevent the continuance of this practice, the regulation will revise the definition to only include jobs where there truly is a need.

“The second regulation will propose to revise the definition of specialty occupation, consistent with INA § 214 (i), to increase focus on obtaining the best and the brightest foreign nationals via the H-1B program, and to revise the definition of employment and employer-employee relationship to better protect U.S. workers and wages,” Dir. Cissna said. “In addition, DHS will propose additional requirements designed to ensure employers pay appropriate wages to H-1B visa holders.”

Revising the definition will make sure visas only go to to foreign nationals who truly possess special skills lacking in the American workforce, like fashion-designers specializing in foreign style, expert foreign marketing managers, exceptional doctors and highly gifted...

ILLEGAL ALIEN RAPED 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN TEXAS

SAN ANGELO, TX (San Angelo Live) – A 24-year-old Mexican citizen who was in the United States illegally pleaded guilty Monday afternoon to one count of sexual assault of a child and faces likely deportation.

Speaking through an interpreter, Margarito Jesus Quevedo pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault of a child in a plea deal with prosecutors who dismissed a second count stemming from incidents in July of 2017.

Quevedo sat between his attorney and the interpreter. He was shackled and wearing headphones.

Quevedo was represented by Joe Hernandez. Hernandez and the court provided interpreter explained District Judge Ben Woodward’s questions and instructions in the plea hearing. Quevedo was facing two counts of sexual assault of a child which is a second degree felony punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Quevedo answered, “Si,” when asked yes or no questions and when ask how he pleaded, he said, “guilty.”

In exchange for Quevedo’s guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the second count and recommended a sentence of six years in prison. Judge Woodward accepted the recommendation and found Quevedo guilty. Woodward sentenced Quevedo to six years in prison and ordered him to pay court costs.

Judge Woodward told Quevedo that since he was a undocumented alien, he would likely be deported because he was...

Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first human to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Michael Collinspiloted the command module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent just under a day on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit.

Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16 at 9:32 am EDT (13:32 UTC) and was the fifth manned mission of NASA's Apollo program. The Apollo spacecraft had three parts: a command module (CM) with a cabin for the three astronauts, and the only part that returned to Earth; a service module (SM), which supported the command module with propulsion, electrical power, oxygen, and water; and a lunar module (LM) that had two stages – a descent stage for landing on the Moon, and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit.

After being sent to the Moon by the Saturn V's third stage, the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered into lunar orbit. Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagleand landed in the Sea of Tranquility. They stayed a total of about 21.5 hours on the lunar surface. The astronauts used Eagle's upper stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module. They jettisoned Eaglebefore they performed the maneuvers that blasted them out of lunar orbit on a trajectory back to Earth. They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space.

The landing was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience. Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by U.S. President John F. Kennedy: "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."^[6]

Report Clapper Lied and Leaked to Get the Anti-Trump Dossier Released

Investigative reporter Sara Carter reported three big takeaways from the House Intelligence Committee report, two of which we already reported. The one we didn’t mention was about James Clapper, the former DNI. As it happens, he too leaked and lied, but they were merely means to an end.

Clapper lied and leaked to contrive the release of the so-called dossier. He collaborated with James Comey to do it according to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino who has reliable sources.

Former FBI Director James Comey told the President about the “salacious” and “unverified” dossier as he described it. By his own admission, he never told by the President that the dossier was paid for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

When asked by Jake Tapper why he didn’t tell Trump about who paid for the dossier, Comey played it coy. He said he didn’t think it was part of his mission. On Thursday evening, Comey told Bret Baier on Special Report that he didn’t know who paid for it.

Dan Bongino told Sean Hannity on his radio show April 20th that James Comey was directed to brief President Trump about the golden showers allegations. Comey was also told to not tell him that Hilary Clinton and the DNC paid for it. The person advising him, according to Bongino, was James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence.

A few days after Comey gave the information to the President, CNN released it publicly. It was ostensibly ‘okay’ to leak because the President knew. Following that, Clapper became a CNN employee and the Buzzfeed story came out.
THE LIES

According to the House Intel report, James Clapper “provided inconsistent testimony to the Committee about his contacts with the media, including CNN.”

He lied at first and then told the truth.

He initially told the committee he did not leak to the media, but, the report states that Clapper eventually acknowledged discussing the “dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper.” He also admitted that he may have told other journalists about the dossier.
It led to the dossier story blowing up.


“Clapper’s discussion with Tapper took place in early January 2017, around the time Intel Community leaders briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump, on ‘the Christopher Steele information,’ a two-page summary of which was ‘enclosed in’ the highly-classified version of the IC,” the Russia report states.

On January 10th, 2017, CNN reported that then-President-elect Trump had been briefed on January 6th about the salacious yet unverified dossier, compiled by Steele.

The timing was critical and it was followed by the Buzzfeed publication of the salacious and unverified dossier.
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT

Clapper “flatly denied” during a July 2017 interview with the committee “discuss[ing] the dossier [compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists.”

Clapper later in the same interview “acknowledged discussing the ‘dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper.’ And he admitted that he might have spoken with...
