Is that mean the Obama DOJ holdovers are still in charge and putting America last, sabotaging the America First agenda? @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @AGPamBondi

“We’re going to let a lot of people come in because we need more people, especially with AI coming…”

President Donald Trump’s deputies told the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday that the Attorney General can give work permits to migrants, even though Congress explicitly bars the hiring of illegal migrants.
“Congress authorized the Secretary to include eligibility for employment among the conditions that attach to a nonimmigrant’s admission and continued presence in this country,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a court-ordered response to a 2015 lawsuit that has been ping-ponged by four sets of judges.
The lawsuit was launched by American professionals against President Barack Obama’s 2015 decision to provide work permits to the spouses of the H-1B workers widely used to replace American professionals. Obama’s deputies justified the jobs giveaway by saying it helped companies to retain white-collar workers imported from India and other nations.
“This document gives the impression that the Trump administration is not in control of the Justice Department,” responded John Miano, a lawyer at the Center for Immigration Studies who has fought for American professionals since 2015. “This is the sort of [out-of-control migration] thing that Trump ran on, but the DOJ document is like a cut-and-paste from the briefs filed by Obama,” he told Breitbart News.
