I was thinking about the immigration impasse with the court. We have 97 mostly tech companies that are suing for the right to allow anyone in they claim they need. We have an activist judge and a lunatic appeals court who believe God falls under their jurisdiction.
We have a tied SCOTUS and a nomination to get through.
If you are blocked one way, try another. Anyone here have the answers to the questions below?
Can all H1B visa suddenly get slow walked for those 97 companies?
Can individual visas be called in for a security review?
Can green card holders be called in for a security review?
Can new refugee visas just stop being issued?
Can a person who is granted a Visa or green card be asked for supporting documentation after the grant? Can a visa application be audited after the grant?
Grandstanding judges hate working cases person by person. It is a lot of tedious work and gets in the way of political fundraising.



Where there’s a will there’s a way.
If the elected government wants to thwart the courts I’m sure it can be done.
If the executive branch wants to make bureaucrats follow the law, ditto.
What has been lacking has been both an elected government and an executive branch that wanted to do either.
At least one of those has changed.
Certainly it seems likely that Trump wants to reform the H1B program and the gopes in Congress may at long last be motivated to agree.
Think Andrew Jackson.
All the suggestions are sneaky ways to get around the court. They would also punish those companies that have been abusing the H1B process. Disney is a great example.
The in-your-face way would be to just keep going as you are, stating that the COURT has no standing. This is outside the perview of the court, so the administration is under no obligation to follow any of it. AND if one wanted to add fire to the bonfire, disband the 9th Circuit. Congress can readily do that, reassigning cases to other circuit courts. They could even beef up the other circuits to handle the load.
Then watch them wail!
