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

The issue is more about employer costs and if hospitals can afford to sponsor residents with this new fee. It’s not just about wages but the total financial burden on hospitals. So even if immigration does not directly depress wages, this 100k will seriously raise hiring costs, which affects if these hospitals can afford to keep sponsoring these doctors.

This will force hospitals to stop hiring international medical graduates, making doctor shortage worse, especially in underserved areas.

There’s rural areas where there are few doctors or clinics nearby and people often have to travel long distances for care because American doctors don’t wanna live there.

Also places with high poverty, elderly populations, or other vulnerable groups also are where there’s obstacles to get care and again American doctors don’t wanna work there.

Exactly. Rural people bout to get fukked (even more).

there will be detrimental effects to a policy like this and yes, the hypocrisy of the Trump administration to do this but also cut research, is damning.

however if this country does turn around and we elect left leaning politicians back into the executive and legislative branches, there has to be a trajectory change from the neo liberal post War free trade/free labor/borderless society that was sold as the ideal posture for America.

As it turns out, all the neoliberal “end of history” status quo did was provide cover for the corporations to outright abandon western workers and siphon up all public services and funds. Americans don’t want it, and the Democrats pushing it and telling everyone who was against it that they are a xenophobic racist hand delivered about a quarter of the country to the GOP.

This won’t affect tech too much

So it's a cultural thing? Because that has happened to me and I was ready to throw hands when after saying no, MFer acted like I insulted his mother.

I think it's some weird caste thing where everyone has to abide by some strict heirarchy. Meaning if they are part of this higher caste other people have to obey them. Not a month goes by I don't have to check one of these fools. And tell them no I won't be doing your job for you. Get off your lazy ass and do it yourself.

As a software engineer in big tech, I think this is needed. I couldn't believe that most of the engineers at these places are born in Asia. It's one thing being the only breh on a team but being the only American really sucks. Indians only care about playing politics and you can't trust them. Chinese workers are nice but they think they're job is they're life and want everyone to work 60hrs a week. A lot of them also speak manderin to each other during the work day. And good luck making friends on your team if it's predominately Asian.

I think if role is really important then the $100k will be a drop in the bucket. 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.

im not clear as to whether that is a one-off or an annual payment. the original news article said annual. later comments said one-off.

100K one-off is not a lot for company that really wants someone. 100K a year though is another matter aside from the 1m+ AI bros.

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.

it even more acute in the UK i think as indians have more of a presence there.

I have never seen a single immigrant work harder than the Americans I know.

Unintentional accuracy stumbled upon.

A politician doing something so your children have a better chance at securing a job after college.

Yeah, that's why Trump put this in place.
