BREAKING: Trump Adds $100,000 (Annual?) Fee For Each H-1B Visa Applicant. India, China Top Numbers.

But I think it's fukked up that Americans have to compete with everyone else in the world for a job in America at American companies. Instead these companies should actually train and invest in its own citizens.

That goes both ways tho. Lot of foreign companies do business and build plants and manufacturing here, Hyundai for example throwing 2.8 billy in thier GA plant.

You want them to go back where they came from?

This is loaded, they are building here so it is an american job. A person in Kenya isnt competing agaisnt Americans in mass applying there.

USA is the only animal where every job we have damn near is being targeted by everyone on earth so how do you prioritize? Should you not prioritize citizens?

that is what training is for.



meanwhile unemployment grows. job insecurity grows.

Have you ever thought native born Americans don’t want to do the hard jobs like that? They definitely ain’t trying to do the hard manual labor and it seems a lot don’t want to going the mentally difficult majors.

This is loaded, they are building here so it is an american job.

Was hyundai founded here? You want American founded businesses to hire and invest in Americans and stay in America, correct?

Or do you want ALL businesses to hire, invest and put up shop in America?

USA is the only animal where every job we have damn near is being targeted by everyone on earth.

If you want globalization to end, just say that. All i'm saying it goes both ways, we can move outside and follow the money and low COL too.

How do you prioritize? Should you not prioritize citizens?

I think a great policy to have is where businesses who move from USA to outside or come here must have on staff a certain percentage of American born workers or be penalized heavily.

Maybe 80-85% percent or more for USA founded companies and 75-80% for foreign ones in every department.

Think this video brings it up (I could be wrong tho)

immigrant vigour. most well read people are familiar with that entire argument.

when graduate, including STEM graduate, unemployment is going up then supply is too much.

especially when this is leading to long(-er) term unemployment and career insecurity.

and training is needed. like america used to do in the old days.

You got hundreds of thousands of people working on OPT visas not having the same tax burden? No wonder Obama expanded this visa to STEM majors. Salaries were rising too fast.

2 charts show which industries employ the most H-1B workers and how much those roles typically pay​

2 charts show which industries employ the most H-1B workers and how much those roles typically pay

Tech companies hire thousands of workers through the H-1B program each year, so Trump's new fee could impact their workforce and bottom line.

www.businessinsider.com

About 30% of H-1B workers make $100,000 or less each year, while only 10% make over $200,000, which means the additional fee would significantly impact the cost of hiring these workers.

Salary distribution for H-1B jobs

$0–60K. 2.7%
$60–80K. 10.5%
$80–100K. 18.1%
$100–120K. 17.5%
$120–140K. 15.4%
$140–160K. 12.2%
$160–180K. 8.3%
$180–200K. 5.9%
Over $200K. 9.4%

Who is stopping Americans from pursuing these degrees though? Go to any university’s engineering program and then compare that to say, Marketing.

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

wait who is paying this 100k visa fee again?!?

I don't believe they can't find US workers to do the job. They very much can. We have very talented people in the US that will be more than willing to do the job.

This is a policy that I (so far with the information that I have) support. I'm just sick of the executive orders.

Maybe now American STEM graduates will be able to get jobs. I've worked in tech for over a decade. And would much rather work with someone straight out of college over an H1B anyday. The Government should slap higher fees on all these employment visas.

On its face, this actually protects the American worker. I don’t know enough about the program to determine the unintended consequences though.

I heard that the point of him doing this is to offer exceptions for tech companies that bend the knee.

Basically extortion.

I am talking about employment. not sure what you are talking about.

Gov might exempt medical workers

gotta relax and let it play out


cuz something gotta be done

ya'll keep giving him a pass even though he's causing more harm than good.

You implied Americans just need training to get these jobs that H1Bs are taking. I said Americans don’t want to go into these fields like that. Thats why the hardest majors have an over representation of immigrants.

 

[WIA20XX]

I'll say this again

When you have 4 engineering freshman in college, only 1 out of those 4 will get an engineering job.

Is engineering (really) a good major? The reality doesn't always match the hype. Read these 5 hard truths before you decide to major in engineering.

Something is deeply wrong with the STEM pipeline.
And once you understand that problem, you'll that there's something wrong with the pipeline between schooling and career in most fields.

no. i said there is an excess of graduate STEM americans who cannot find work i.e. they already have the base required education.

to preempt the skills argument, i mentioned training.

while there is an excess of locals who are unemployed then the overseas supply is too high.
