President Trump’s latest Executive Order on the H1-B visa program is one of the most significant things he has done. It is America First.
The H1-B visa has been used to import cheap labor, but companies won’t be doing that any longer. They have to pay $100,000 per year to bring in a foreign high-skilled worker. Hopefully, this will force companies to hire Americans. The fear is companies will off-shore some jobs. Maybe they will, but this will mostly be a vast improvement.
This was such a simple solution. So many of these immigration schemes hurt American workers.
Watch:
Trump just killed the H1B visa.
Companies now have to pay $100K per year to bring foreign hi-skilled workers to the U.S.
This will dissuade them from doing so, some jobs will be offshored.

It will curb the abuse that occurs when comanies use the program to import workers who are not “high-skill” an pay them a lower wage.
They’ll will have to weigh in the cost vs the training of our citizens against that $100,000. It looks like it was only costing the companies $4,000-$10,000 before this (from what I could find). What a great simple idea to reign it in.
If they offshore, whoever stays and abides by the rules will come out way ahead of the others.
