I mean, just this morning I was reading about abuses of the H-2A program, which is for agricultural workers.

So many, all of these visa programs are being abused.

We need to tear down the entire system until we can rebuild it so that it serves Americans' interests and eliminates fraud.

And that is exactly what the PAWS Act would do.

Put just a timeout on all immigration

until we can get our house in order.

And that is exactly what we need to do.

IAPaction.com is our website.

We have a C3 website that's IAProject.org, but our main one is IAPaction.com.

You'll see our congressional ranking system.

You can see exactly what your members of Congress have been doing on the immigration issue or what they have not been doing and push them to do better.

So IAPaction.com.

Yeah, Senator Grassley is exactly right.

The only way, and he didn't actually connect these in his tweet, but the only way that Secretary Luttnick's plan works is if you end OPT because the fee for the $100,000 fee does not apply

to people who are in the country and adjust from one status to another.

And the most common is from OPT to H1B.

So all the Microsofts and Amazons and all of those are going to use that in-country adjustment to avoid the fee.

The only people paying it will be the body shops unless they get rid of OPT.

So OPT stands for Optional Practical Training, and it is a scheme that was cooked up under W. Bush to allow foreign students, once they've graduated, to remain in the United States and take a job.

They don't have to pay FICA taxes.
