“A federal judge on Thursday struck down a #Biden administration program that would allow unauthorized immigrants married to American citizens to get legal status and a streamlined path to U.S. citizenship, declaring the policy illegal.
U.S. District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker, an appointee of #Trump, found the program violates U.S. #immigration law, agreeing with a lawsuit filed by Texas and more than a dozen other Republican-led states.”

When a #Florida Farmer-Legislator Turned Against #Immigration, the Consequences Were Severe. But Not for Him.
For a lawmaker’s #political career and his farm, a federal visa program was a lifeline.
For a young father trying to meet his son’s mounting medical needs, that same lifeline failed him.

in case anyone else with a h-1b also loses their job unexpectedly (this is 6 months old for me now so i feel pretty ok sharing it):
- identify your 'special' skill set
- identify 8-10 people you know who have great job titles in well known orgs who can write letters about how great you are
- find a great immigration lawyer
- incorporate a company doing the thing in your special skill set
- put some money in the company's bank account
- apply for a O-1 visa within 60 days

“In many ways, #Trump has won the policy argument at the border. Joe #Biden and Kamala Harris have both embraced versions of his bottleneck strategy and hope to choke off asylum access between official ports of entry. But, for the 11 million undocumented already in the country, the distinction between the parties remains bright.” texasobserver.org/editors-lett…

Editor's Letter: Introducing Our November/December Issue
A note from the interim editor-in-chiefGus Bova (The Texas Observer)
Eritrean journalist Akberet Beyene was placed under house arrest in her home country as part of a crackdown on the media, and eventually fled the country dressed in her mother’s clothes and carrying her sister’s passport. It was just the first step in her journey to Canada as an asylum seeker. She tells her story in a new book, Geographies of the Heart,
which is excerpted in @thetyee.

How Mass Deportations Would ‘Devastate’ Texas
The Lone Star State is home to millions of undocumented residents and members of mixed-status families critical to the state’s economic success, yet Texas leaders are cheering on Trump anyway.Francesca D’Annunzio (The Texas Observer)
“The last time the United States launched a mass deportation effort … U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up and sent to Mexico—a place that many had never been before. The mass deportations that #Trump is proposing would be devastating for our economy and dangerous for American Latinos.”

Elon Musk has spent the past couple years railing against “illegal” immigrants, but new reporting confirms what we’ve long suspected: Musk himself worked illegally in the United States and deceived officials when investors finally forced him to get a visa.
"It is not hard to guess why Bezos and Soon-Shiong made these decisions. Both are billionaires whose other businesses could be hurt by people who conflate their papers’ editorials with the two men’s own opinions. And both are hedging against the chance of Donald Trump winning the election, since he will surely turn his vengeance on those who opposed him."
