    American Tech Workers Successfully Win Standing

    American Tech Workers Successfully Win Standing to Sue on Alleged Illegal Issuance of STEM-Related Work Authorization

    WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a case that could have implications for President Obama's "executive actions" on immigration, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled that Washington Alliance of Technology Workers can challenge in court the legality of administrative extensions of work authorizations to non-immigrants increasing competition for American workers.

    The case, Washington Alliance of Technology Workers v. USDHS (Civil Action No. 14-529), has major implications for the ability of American workers to judicially challenge certain elements of the actions taken yesterday and today by President Barack Obama that expand dramatically the number of work visas and the terms or durations of those work visas.

    The case was brought by attorney John Miano and IRLI on behalf of several displaced American workers. Dale Wilcox, Executive Director of IRLI, commented, "The Obama administration and its congressional allies have repeatedly stated that they believed the president's executive memos were immune from judicial review in federal court. Today's decision in the Washington Alliance case demonstrates that this is not true." Wilcox continued, "We will continue the fight on behalf of the American worker and hold this administration accountable to the rule of law."

    The decision can be found at: https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2014cv0529-17.

    [Background: incredibly, for the last 15 years or more of the illegal replacement of American technology workers, those very workers have been denied a voice and legal standing to collectively challenge what was being done to them. It remains to be seen what effect this will have in the wake of the executive order, but it sure can't hurt.]

    Rand Paul said a Republican-backed immigration reform bill would likely focus on expanding the visa program for people with advanced degrees who can come and work in the country's growing technology industry.

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Rand Paul is not the solution to our problems. He doesn't get it. He doesn't or won't face the fact that expanding immigration in any way, shape or form is a continuation of the problem, not a solution, and as a member of the US Senate, he should know that, and the clear fact that he doesn't know that just shines on his ineptness at solutions to our national problems. He's a doctor with skills in the medical field, not the economy, production, trade, labor or balancing the budget. He's smoke riding on the laurels of his father who understood some of this, but not even Ron Paul understood all of it.

    If Toxic 'Bama were not so intent on showing his disdain for ordinary Americans, it might have occurred to him that when our own STEM workers are having difficulty finding jobs, importing more STEM workers will not actually help Americans at all.
