Not simply sensitive data. Many qualifying documents have an expiration date. But note well citizenship does not. Such disqualifications are the low hanging excuse when paired with sensitive Social security data. I recall getting a SS card age 9. So a lifetime. Where and how employed & school.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Henry, here may have summarized our current affairs and quandary. Years ago. A useful read,no wonder he was so influential essay “Civil Disobedience” (1849).
Timely reflection

There are Rules for H-1B Visas • Higher Wage Standard: Employers must pay the H-1B worker at least the actual wage (what they pay other U.S. workers with similar experience and qualifications) or the prevailing wage. Data on file, no guessing. I have worked with many and they get paid nicely.

Ask him about chess club. Heck ask him about almost anything specific and he will score a D- But allow him to fictionalize anything with modest evidence and it could read and sound fine in ways like James Michener’s opening chapter geology lessons. Example: Centennial or Hawaii

It is a well woven story..😬🤯 … in hindsight, many critics and readers have argued that it functions more like a constructed narrative or a "polemic" than an objective account. Oprah was had hook line ad sinker… A handy AI was happy to go all in literature class style.

Her thematic choice of fiction seems sane. But these two wonks require study; money and fame corrupt.

Apparently, Oprah’s Book Club has 125 selections on its current complete list. One count about 100 as fiction, or about 80% of the total. The percentage is approximate as memoirs and narrative nonfiction—can be categorized differently.

This administration might apply the logic that these are POWs. Way back Polish POWs became a problem, food, guards ,.., expensive, some local commanders solved the expense problem with starvation and even execution with guns. They were rewarded for their efforts and the death camp mindset began🤯.
