[Anonymous]

Will any MAGA care to answer why Trump hires foreign workers at Maralago instead of Americans?

[Anonymous]

Way too many foreigners. Very good move.

The Secretary of State appears to be able to make exceptions? Section 1c)? Am I reading this correctly Of course, considering that this takes effect in 2 days, there will be a lot of scrambling.

26% of doctors practicing in the United States are foreign-born. Why don’t US medical schools open up more spots so that more Americans can become doctors?

Trump should push for this instead of money from universities. Nursing schools as well.

This is the best news I have heard in a long while! The H1B is an excuse for the bottom feeders to pay some fixer in the U.S. to come and live in the U.S. Most of them are utter BS! I've barely seen 10 proper H1B workers in my life, and I have seen many fixers opening fake business and brining people in and having no jobs for them. Plus, most of them are not highly skilled workers, they are truly unskilled scammers!

Like a Nigerian that is IT specialist (barely speaks English) who will work at the "company" that petitioner for over 60 people and that company owner is the maintenance super for the space!!!

I am a Bernie Bro, and want social democracy all day long, I am a woke person all day long!, but what I have seen with the H1Bs and how difficult it is to stop people you know have paid someone to put a petition in with them, and how DHS/USCIS is so pathetic about making sure they are actually skilled when approving their petitions, and how obstructive DHS is from accepting that this person is lying and there is no job and it is a scheme is beyond insane.
This is a great thing, wonderful thing. Companies will be willing to pay this for real extraordinary ability workers, fraud of H1B must stop.

We need doctors and they are usually on J visas. Rarely are they on H1B visas.

They are not H1B workers, likely H2 temporary or illegals.

Do you think this will boost jobs?

No, just more offshoring.

I've worked in the tech industry since 1998. More and more jobs are going offshore. This will just push even more.

Companies are willing to accept 60% efficiency and accuracy for 30% of the pay.

This.
Trump just doesn’t seem to get it. Our immigration system is broken and Congress has kicked the can to the end of the road at this point. Either we can build a system with nudges that help the U.S. economy or we can just keep circling around the drain. Better to address WHY employers can’t find the labor needed.

If they are that important, a $100,000 fee is worth it.

If someone has skills that are so rare that they cannot be found in a nation of over 300,000,000 people, they should be getting paid millions of dollars.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

A handful of large consulting companies, who specialize in outsourcing, are unhappy with this fee. Be prepared for a tidal wave of fearmongering from their minions.

Because they don't want to pay for it. They want to hire highly-skilled workers for $60,000. Now they will pay $160,000, which is what they should have been paying them to begin with since they supposedly have "hard to find" skills.

You think Americans have that patience and diligence to stick with academics for that long?! And even EE degree is one that generally requires a high level of math and science in HS to be able to get through a decent college program. I'm telling you having recruited undergrad in multiple industries - Americans don't have the ability to earn these types of degrees these days. Becoming a medical MD is simply not something mere mortals can be - you have to be able to not just get through the hoops but stand the rigor academically.

If "mere mortals" cannot do these things, a $100,000 fee is peanuts to hire a god.

This bill does not, in any way, prevent the hiring of truly-needed workers with rare skills. The fact that employers are balking at a $100,000 fee is an admission that they view the H1B program as a way to procure cheap labor.

What was the fee before this?
