People here will never be happy enough. This is a great change.

Would I prefer it went further and yeeted every jeet in the tech industry? Sure. Do I want him to change policy on lots of other things too? Also yes.

But goddamn guys, this will cause a huge reduction in foreign workers stealing high paying jobs for pennies. So just be happy and take the win for once.

I will withhold celebration until such time as that huge reduction materializes and I think that's a perfectly reasonable stance to hold given the nature of politicians and the governmental machine's track record.

I'm waiting until Judge Boasberg rules the EO unconstitutional and then SCOTUS rules it's constitutional 5-4.

I'm personally Happy, but that's like saying hey 65% of the cancer is gone! Sure there's still 45% cancer in you but be happy!

I get your point, I agree, but also hiring brain dead 85 iq jeets with fake degrees over Americans with degrees is fucking retarded lol.

That math ain't mathing.

This is a good thing. And if the wording is true this applies to renewals as well, which would mean all the current H-1B's will have to be covered when they expire. Most companies cannot afford it and will have to cancel.

Hahaha totally wasn't paying attention with the 35% lol.

Most companies cannot afford it and will have to cancel.

Which is great! my worry is thay companies that have the largest influence and impact on your life will still pay that all day every day without making a dent.

One point -- My original worry back when silicon valley decided to go on a foreign hiring spree was that (especially with America being more cohesive at that time) it's alot easier to tell a foreigner to do/ code nonAmerican/ anti American things.

His math is fine. Cancer doesn't play fair. It's either 110% cancer, or no cancer.

Unless you were born between June 21 and July 22. Then you're just 100% cancer to everyone around you, especially Aries and Sagittarius.

Companies sponsor the visa anyways.

And guess what? They can write off visa expenses on their taxes.

And guess what. This is a one time fee.

How long do you think h1b’s stay in the USA? Forever.

What’s more expensive. Paying a native born citizen a living wage? Or .. Paying a third world pajeet 30% of the native born’s salary forever?

Fucking smooth brain argument.

Yea. I pay taxes. If the government decided they have taken "enough" taxes from me and suddenly stopped, I might give them a break, but as long as they're in my pocket they OWE ME.

this will cause a huge reduction in foreign workers

I'll believe it when I see it.

So just be happy and take the win for once.

So just go get a juice box and stay out of our way.
