I was told I needed to clap like a trained seal over this instead of being skeptical and demanding it be far more punitive. Now we see it get defanged and I want my "I told you so".

Making it apply to everyone immediately would be insane. Let's be real.

No, it would be entirely sensible.

What's insane is the existing system that's been left in place for years as it spreads ruin throughout our society.

Overnight on all existing H1B would create a massive shock in the system. And while these companies deserve this shock, the current economy isn't in a state to handle this.

That said, there is million ways of doing a staged rollout for existing visas. Like immediate effect on all new applicants, $1000/month fee on all existing that will be steadily raised to the full value. This would give companies time to find replacements at a steady rate and control costs without the shock therapy

Meh, the economy wasn't in a state to absorb turning the global economy off and on again but that didn't stop anyone. I say chuck 'em all out and get on with it.

All this pussyfooting around is just excuse making.

You're skeptical of anything Trump does but totally willing to believe an anonymous source posted to a leftist site
