Last week Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley hit back against Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after the agency pushed through, during a congressional recess, a major immigration item that has long been on the technology lobby’s wish list. According to a new “policy memorandum,” Obama’s immigration authorities will now be redefining the term “specialized knowledge” as it applies to the L-1B visa, a program previously aimed at bringing over highly sought-after “intracompany transferees” from American firms’ affiliated companies abroad. No doubt burned by Congress’s “stubborn” refusal to raise the cap on annual cap on H-1B visas (which are “skilled” temporary non-immigrant worker visas) the Obama administration, at the behest of Big Tech lobbyists, has told its agency lawyers to think up a clever alternative.
The L-1B visa, a cousin of the H-1B, applies to so-called “specialized knowledge” employees, usually in the IT industry, who may be transferred to the U.S. from their foreign affiliated employer to work here for up to five years. Often, as with H-1B holders, these “temporary” workers obtain sponsors and apply for permanent status. When President Obama announced his general plans to “reform” the program last spring, he stated that his goal was to allow more workers to move from foreign offices into the U.S. “in a faster, simpler way.” Americans should get behind the proposal, he stated, as it “could benefit hundreds of thousands of nonimmigrant workers and their employers,” which “in turn, will benefit [the] entire economy.”

When the hell is someone with standing (and a set) going to challenge this idiot in the court system?

Mark Levin radio was talking about it tonight. I only caught the end.
The poor American worker gets screwed yet again. Why do we pay taxes and salaries to these elected bastards who have a complete disregard for citizens?
Laws are a waste of good paper. Why write ‘em down? Laws are whatever.
Never, unfortunately, that is why he keeps doing it.
OMuslim don’t need no steenking “laws”...
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have made the term “lame duck President” obsolete, at least for Democrats.
Banana Republic
H-1B and L-1B; somehow there is a news blackout on these to very destructive programs. The MSM won't touch these stories because my guess the CoC and the cheap labor express has even paid them off.
I am sure Cruz is 100% behind this move...

‘When the hell is someone with standing (and a set) going to challenge this idiot in the court system?’
The problem is finding somebody with a completely spotless life in every respect. With the number of laws on the books it is pretty much impossible. All the Feds have to do is make up phony charges and force you into court and they will bankrupt you. Everyone knows this. I do from hard experience.
We have an unknown runaway living in the white hut making things up as he goes and his path is without obstruction. God save us @Christians count. Not an official hastag but should be - don’t know how on this end.
Have no fear ... G_d is still in control. To fear the unknown is human nature, faith is not part of human nature but a gift from G_d. The more of this stuff we see, the closer the return of Jesus.
Trump needs to be advised of this, advised to reread the last few paragraphs of his “Immigration Position” (paper), and then come out swinging. Maybe Senator Sessions could give him a call?
It’d gain Trump a few points in the polls against any Dem candidate, and almost any Pub candidate.

Now can we shoot them?
That's true. Actual pesky laws mean something and can get OMuslim in trouble. What he does is much smarter than Clinton's “It's according to what the definition of “is” is."
Instead of steenking laws, he writes “rules”, “executive orders”, and now, “policy memorandum” and creates his own meaning of "specialized knowledge". All of these create what he wants, without involving congress, and these words carry the strength of law without being a law.
In my opinion, he is an antichrist set on turning this country into an Islamic country by dismantling it bit by bit every day and this move of his is one of those bits. The underpinnings of the country as a Christian nation and a rule by law country as set forth by our founders, is being destroyed by this one man - one man - unbelievable. It is reminiscent of the actions of Hitler and Stalin - they were also “one man” in their countries who destroyed their country.
