And most companies are quickly realizing that you get what you pay for. India is a low trust society. Who knows if the “engineer” you hired actually is an engineer. Most people who work QR stateside are ripping their hair out.

Most companies care about the bottom line. They are fine with low productivity and crap results that the peons have to deal with. As long as profits look good, that's all they care about.

You must be new to the corporate world.

It seems the USCIS said this wouldn't apply to F-1 to H-1B change of status. Is that because they are using entry fees as the mechanism?

They actually aren't. They have scores to keep and if a launch of some tech is buggy or delayed they don't make their goals. They feel it. They know the low productivity and crap results are directly attributed to the offshoring.

You definitely don't work in tech.

The new policy gets its first challenge. Let’s see what happens.

Trump Administration Is Sued Over $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee
https://apple.news/Aq910dmaRSO-ly4Gwq07SwQ

The coalition led by recruitment firm Global Nurse Force is arguing that President Trump didn’t have the power to unilaterally impose a hefty immigration fee without the approval of Congress. It also says that the Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act by acting unreasonably and skipping the normal process for weighing regulatory changes.

Global Nurse Force looks to be a recruiting company for Indian nurses and its founder seems to have Indian ethnicity. Surprise surprise.

Article

America shouldn't allow foreign state-sponsored emigration policies allowing middlemen to abuse a faulty visa process.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nationwide call to establish India as the ‘Skill Capital of the world’ finds its most potent expression in healthcare sector. Data from the Indian Nursing Council (INC) shows India produces over 325,000 new nursing graduates annually, a vast human resource ready to be skilled into global health ambassadors."

Perhaps but there definitely is a nursing shortage in this country, which was exacerbated by Covid. There are a number of nurses in my family and I hear this all the time from them.

I don't understand why Democrats tolerate this line of reasoning. They all know it's bull.

dp.. please explain to me how MAGA turn a blind eye to Trump's businesses using (white) foreign labor. Thanks.

-signed an Independent

Please explain to me every option I have that ends in H-1B's being restricted.

I can only think of one. Voting for Trump.

It's pretty simple. If you can't understand or don't believe that I have an option with my vote, then this isn't a Democracy.

Please explain why you are going after one visa over the one Trump uses.

Did I say you don't have an option voting? Comprehension is important.

Can you really not read through this weblog and figure it out? I ask because maybe you're just fishing for another answer you don't like. You might need to read between the lines; this weblog is patrolled by Democrat corporate HR trolls that take down any criticisms of corporate HR policy.

Why can't you respond to the post about why it's ok for Trump to use foreign workers but not other businesses? Is it because most of the h1bs are Indian, and most of Trump's foreign workers are white Eastern European?

it is not ok.

but it is what businesses need to do in this environment.

Judge Learned Hand famous quotes ....

"Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes."

Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).

"Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant."

Commissioner v. Newman, 159 F2d 848 (1947)

the point is that businesses need to operate under the current rules not the proposed rules. and the current rules allow the hiring of cheap temporary foreign labor.

that in NO WAY contradicts the need to stop the importing of cheap foreign labor.

got it???

You're trying scare tactics. Why?

Bottom line: let them offshore the low level jobs. Leave the skilled jobs for skilled American workers.

too much common sense for the idiots that want cheap foreign labor and don't care about their fellow neighbors.

BREAKING: U.S. employment authorizations for foreign students hit 420,524 in 2024 — and we're projecting 550,000 by 2027.
Note: Employers get a 7.65% discount on FICA and avoid minimum wage requirements when they don’t hire American graduates.

Exactly. And offshoring these jobs means we lose the tax revenue.

Some people here think the increase in the visa fee is a going to all of a sudden create a lot more jobs for real Americans. It won't.

If you want to prevent jobs from going overseas then advocate for more regulation.

It bears repeating. I care "nada" if a company offshores an h-1b.

I don't care if they pay taxes. They take up spots in schools, on the road, at the library etc. They think paying taxes is like some gift or something. We pay for their research and schooling.

In an incredible move, Walmart just PAUSED job offers to people who would need H-1B Visas.

This is because of President Trump's new $100 THOUSAND visa fee.

GOOD! This signifies the H-1Bs were NOT absolutely necessary for Walmart and they can hire Americans. 🇺🇸

Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick recently said on the new fee: "$100,000 - so either the person is very valuable to the company and America, or they're going to depart and the company's going to HIRE an AMERICAN!"

"Hire Americans and make sure the people coming in are the top, top people. Stop the nonsense of letting people just come into this country on these visas that were given away for free."

They aren't clueless. They know exactly what they are doing. They treat it as a moral issue, non-negotiable, not even on the table for discussion. There are rules they can't tell you they are interviewing you when they do a PERM or LCA. EG in many ways, Americans have much less information about what goes on than your average Democrat.

Like this video where they describe their methods to avoid finding qualified Americans. I was totally clueless about this until the Meta settlement. No, I didn't go into tech to play these games.

I can’t imagine Walmart has many h1b workers to begin with compared to the tech industry. When that changes let us know. The whole thing should be completely eliminated.

It's growing. Well, offshore is, too, but any job that can be done in your home can be offshored or Hib'd- analysts, accounting, finance, HR, back office sales support to name a few.

I think the whole offshoring thing is overblown, if they could have done it already, they would have. I think they need to ship Harvard to China. Go study your economics there. Maybe they could have the students stay up late at night to get the lectures. When are American STEM students going to enroll in IIT?
