Several big tech companies are telling their employees on visas “happy holidays, but don’t leave the country because we likely can’t you back in.” Thanks to TOM & Cos ever so friendly policies regarding the outside world, if you leave, good luck to ya getting back in. “Apple and Google are warning some U.S-based employees on visas against traveling outside of the country to avoid the risk of getting stuck coming back, as the Trump administration toughens vetting of visa applicants, according to recent internal memos from the tech companies that were reviewed by NPR.
U.S. consulates and embassies have been reporting lengthy, sometimes months-long delays, for visa appointments following new rules from the Department of Homeland Security requiring travelers to undergo a screening of up to five years' of their social media history — a move criticized by free speech advocates as a privacy invasion. "We recommend avoiding international travel at this time as you risk an extended stay outside of the U.S.," Berry Appleman & Leiden, a law firm that works with Google, wrote to employees. The law firm Fragomen, which works with Apple, wrote a similar message: "Given the recent updates and the possibility of unpredictable, extended delays when returning to the U.S., we strongly recommend that employees without a valid H-1B visa stamp avoid international travel for now," the memo read. "If travel cannot be postponed, employees should connect with Apple Immigration and Fragomen in advance to discuss the risks." Does anyone else think this sounds eerily similar to workers in China who live in dorms and are rarely allowed to return home to see family? Maybe that’s just me…
Seeing that the TOM in ’28 cry is likely going to fail, Erika Kirk threw the first hat into the ring for the 2028 race. And she selected who else but J Darth Vance. Hand me a harikari sword now. He can’t think his way out of a box. So we would have dumb and evil? Thanks I’ll pass. ““We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible,” Kirk told the crowd. The endorsement comes even though Vance has not formally announced plans to run for president. In an October interview with the New York Post Vance said his current focus remains on service as vice president.”
“My attitude is the American people elected me to be vice president. I’m going to work as hard as I can to make the president successful over the next three years and three months, and if we get to a point where something else is in the offer, let’s handle it then,” Vance said.” Hey, JD, your humility is dimmed by the drool running down your chin at the excitement of thinking about being Prez. Can someone get JD a bib please?
