Category capped at 40k visas a year. This will probably create backlogs and processing delays for aliens who actually have extraordinary ability

Peter Spiro @peterspiro.bsky.social · 15d
So they found a legal workaround for the “Gold Card” - anyone who donates a million bucks automatically qualifies as an “alien of extraordinary ability”. Totally absurd but probably will stick. No one will have standing to challenge.

I have a vestigial memory that Joseph Weiler once criticised the Jean Monnet Programme for being a bit one-eyed in its approach to what types of studies were supported.... #ironyalert

Post from a non-expert on US citizenship law but an actual expert on nationality in international law: the 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' qualification to birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment is a principle of international law relating to the status of children of diplomats.

Pwnallthethings @pwnallthethings.bsky.social · Jan 20
So what does "subject to the jurisdiction of" mean here?

The "jurisdiction" here means someone who is ordinarily subject to law. Notice that this includes criminals. If I rob a bank, I might be breaking the law, but I will be arrested by the police, because I am *subject to* the law.
