    It’s not a fee on application it’s an annual fee. I can’t see this being used for anything except extremely highly qualified technical positions.

    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.

      We have plenty of qualified technical workers, too many in fact. This visa program was to bring in foreigners and underpay them while treating them as slaves.

    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%,

    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.

      Do you not understand these particular visas? The companies bring people in, underpay them, then treat them like slaves. All because “We can’t find qualified Americans!” All while jobs in the tech sector are crashing. Dipshit accidentally pulled a good move.
