    it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas

    I wonder if it’d have some caveats, like a maximum of 100 visas per year.

    Roughly two-thirds of jobs secured through the H1-B program are computer-related, (…) India was the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas last year, accounting for 71% of approved beneficiaries, while China was a distant second at 11.7%,

    Would you rather…

    1. Pay $100,000 to gamble on the opportunity to live in a hostile fascist country where any day you can be kidnapped and trafficked to the worst country the USA can find, or
    2. Get a job in some other country?

    It’s a tough choice. I’m sure this will do wonders for American industry.

    Anyone coming in with zero context would say this guy is short selling against the US and setting it up to fail.

    But we’re talking about the cunt who bankrupted casinos.
