by physical postcards mailed to their address with a given code for authorization. A later feature might be: monitoring upcoming bills and asking constituents to give their opinions. Then at the end of a congress person's term, their constituents (and everyone else) will see.

I should make an "instant town hall" app. Something Congress members can have on their phones, and at anytime of day they can ask "what do you guys think of y issue?" and give alerts to only their constituents to participate in a poll / discussion. Their constituents verified.

. With the number of layoffs in tech especially, it astounds me that H1B is even still allowed right now. Please do something about this issue. It is important to me and many other US citizens in tech.

. to all US citizens and for all jobs not on DOL schedule A. Not just the jobs that pay under $60k. USCIS should also require that US employers aren't allowed more than 50% non-citizen employees. Put that in the EO and have the government try to "justify why it shouldn't be". .

. this distinction or have it ruled unconstitutional by the supreme Court (because we all know Congress isn't going to do anything). One way to quickly get this in front of the supreme Court would be for Trump to issue an EO to direct USCIS to require displacement protection. .

. employer doesn't need to recruit or consider a US citizen before offering the position to an H1B candidate. This is unfair treatment, as it allows employers to favor H1B employees at the expense of displacing US citizens. Or more characteristically: it gives the good jobs. .

@amandalouise416 .20 CFR 655.739(j) says that for jobs paying less than $60k an H1B dependent employer must offer the job to a qualified US worker before offering it to an H1B worker. However, for jobs paying over $60k the employer doesn't have to recruit, interview, or offer. .

protections. This violates the equal protection clause of the US constitution. It is plain as day, and yet no lawsuit has ever been filed for it. Why would Congress protect the jobs of one class of citizens but not others?.
