Immigration and Customs Enforcement asserts authority over land within 100 miles of a border (including coasts). Anyone in the US can be stopped and asked for ID and proof they're in the country legally in that 100 mile zone.

Just to be precise, those are H-2B visas (it says that right in the article) which is a different program. https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-worker...

Of course. But 50% of the population is not an accurate phrasing in any way.

Perhaps I'm confused but your third link makes no mention of race.

Just a (semi-)minor quibble. The US population is currently around 322 million. The number of eligible voters in 2016 was somewhere around 220 million [1]. Just under 63 million voted for Trump [2] 1. https://www.quora.com/H

Google surfaces literally thousands of references to every little bit of US immigration minutiae, thanks to every immigration lawyer having public websites and forums, so I think that your path to EAD was likely wishful thinking. The incomi

I'd say lots of immigrants have the money. What they don't have is a vote.

You're missing what they mean by "predatory pricing." They're complaining about low prices due to Uber subsidies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

"Current policy forces them" is pretty strong. In 6 years on an H-1B, I switched jobs 4 times. More recently, USCIS has given guidance on a "grace period" for H-1Bs who lose their employment- they now have up to sixty da

One difference is that restaurants don't have to rely on delivery only - people still like to go out and eat, so optimizing for that experience can decrease the risk.

I don't think the "with Funding" is really meant to narrow the selection. I think it means something more like "based on the valuation from new Funding, are Youngest Irish Billionaires"

I'm curious about why you think the Rocky Mountains would preclude this (as opposed to the distance, where ~ 500 mph via air vs. ~250 mph by train seems like a larger obstacle). Tunnels, and picking a relatively flat route seems to all

Please clarify "Current insurance plans" - Current ACA insurance plans? Because I just checked my recent physical including blood panels and, yes, Vitamin D levels, and all I paid was a $15 copay.

The US immigration is incredibly byzantine and opaque, far beyond what most Americans realize. Trump has said that he thinks the H-1B program is being abused, and the fear is that there will be yet another layer of bureaucracy layered on to

In retaliation, Mexico files a complaint through NAFTA and the WTO, and starts taking retaliatory action. A 10% immediate surtax on the value of US owned property would be a good start. And eventually the trade war turns into a shooting war

I don't think its just business travelers, most people in full-time jobs tend to want to leave and return on specific days - i.e. fly out on Friday night, return on Sunday night (not necessarily in the same weekend).
