IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

No action needed; monitor for any shift toward selective/discriminatory enforcement patterns.

Why This Score

Routine enforcement of an existing federal visa program (H-2A) with broad, cross-ideological support from labor groups and immigration critics alike. No evidence of rule-of-law breach, separation of powers issue, or civil rights harm at scale. Low novelty, low outrage potential, no clear strategic distraction pattern. Falls below both A and B thresholds, consistent with Noise classification.
