- Perhaps the most personally impactful positive change that a president has ever enacted in my lifetime. Bravo. Trump is fucking up a lot, but this is a win for all American tech workers.by eudamoniac
- Good. What’s happening now in the corporate world (and other places) is very distasteful. Americans shouldn’t have to compete against the whole world to get a job in the USA
- In other words, companies who rely on H1B visas are not donating enough to Trump 2028 or the Republican party.
- I vote for Democrats. Sad they didn't step up for American tech workers though, and the guy shitting himself did.by bellowsgulch
- Wasn't this struck down because by law the Federal Government can only charge the cost of producing a visa? The amount cannot be arbitrary in any way.
Or has the Trump Administration found a workaround for this?

- This is a nice trick. Since SCOTUS barred universal injunctions, the government can implement whatever batshit ideology they want until the case makes its way through the judicial system. Often that is a year or two. And even if it is eventually vacated, like the tariffs or the previous iteration of this fee, the damage is already done, as you cannot go back in time.by bubblethink
- Most likely these companies will set up GCCs offshore. Moving the jobs abroad.
Whatever tax and living + lifestyle expenses that USA economy was making from H1B's will be gone.
Good for the rest of the world.
