This article is a very good example of WP bias.
First of all, it ignores that the Obama administration tried to overrule a law with an Executive rule change, which is NOT legal.
So, example quotes:
1)
...the Trump administration may quietly revoke the ability
There is no legal ability to do this. Federal Court has already ruled Obama's action in this to be illegal.
2)
and are typically high-skilled themselves
Their example (Ranjith) wants to do afterschool tutoring.
3)
“All my employees,” Ranjith is quick to note, “are citizens, of course. They were all born here.”
There is no way she would know that. At most, they could all have claimed to be born in the US, but that's not necessary and is none of her business. In fact, it's illegal for her to even ask that.
4)
A lawsuit challenging the rule was filed in 2015 and recently landed in federal appeals court.
Appeals court means that the rule was already ruled illegal at the Federal District Court level. That's a big detail to leave out.
5)
A settlement with the plaintiffs would effectively allow Sessions to kill the rule
Actually, the rule is dead unless Sessions were to pursue an appeal and win (and be upheld if SCOTUS were to accept an appeal from there).
etc.
