🧪 Salt tectonics is the study of significant thicknesses of rock salt within sedimentary basins, how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result, and the physics of salt mobilization. Salt tectonics is a fascinating branch of geology in itself…

You might ask: How can ICE levy a tax? What law gives legal authority for that?
No law does; it is an illegal action.
That is why the forthcoming proposed rule calls it a 'fee', which it certainly is not. I explain why on pages 5 and A-10, here—> www.rfberlin.com/network-pape...

Note that this is separate from and additional to the $100,000 tax on H-1B visas, which is the next step after OPT for about half of international students who want to stay and contribute to the US.
The combined effect will be to make it practically impossible for most int'l students to stay.

This new, shocking action by the US Administration just one part of a portfolio of severe taxes and restrictions on high-skill immigration to the United States.
The resulting blow to our ability to attract global talent, and thus for the US economy to innovate & grow, will be terrible & permanent.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week.
It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

On a recent trip, I got to talking with a young officer, newly commissioned from one of our military academies. He shared how Washington politics is impacting his choice to serve in the military. It's a conversation that’s stuck with me - and I want you to hear what he had to say.

Trees are a 100 yrs old & the wall just needs to be repaired the same time Pedoführer wants a golf course.
I thought they dug up auspicious trees to replant them after work.
