Employers must pay $100K fee to hire an H-1B

[Anonymous]

$100,000k annually. Essentially shutting the program down. What will be the effect on hospitals?

I'm a fed. All the suitable candidates with US citizenship go for jobs at Google/Apple/Facebook for 3x the pay.

I thought you had to be a U.S. citizen to be a Fed?

There should be exemptions for doctors in areas with shortages.

I see it as a possible resume enhancer.

What about former escorts from Eastern Europe who were able to skip to the front of the line as immigrants with fake "genius visas"?

It only applies to those who “are currently outside the United States.”

This will disrupt lives, businesses, services and things we rely on and take for granted.

This really is the most thoughtless and careless presidency.

I’m not sure how immigrant families will feel once they become American citizens, knowing that continued waves of immigration may end up driving down wages for their own American-born children—if that’s really the future we’re aiming for.

Adding so so many people to our population over the past 30 years due to this program has disrupted lives, businesses, services and things we relied on and took for granted. Less housing in good neighborhoods, less access to good schools, less jobs, more crowds everywhere (stores, parks, tourist attractions, etc), for Americans.

There will be even fewer international students coming to study in the US since their chances of getting a job with an H-1B afterward are minuscule.

What about current H1B holders? Any impact?

[Anonymous]

Nobody talks about the university researchers coming on H1B. I guess that had ended.

Imagine if this was the rule in 1985.
Half of the top Tech firms in this country would not have existed…..at least not as US firms.

This is so dumb…par for course

What good have tech firms done? We would have been better off without them.

The smart phone or tablet or desktop computer you use fell out from the sky?

Why do we have shortages?

Doctors don’t want to be GPs in rural areas. They want to specialize and live in cities.
