DEPORT THE FUCKING EMPLOYERS. HOLD THE CORPORATIONS THAT EXPLOIT THE H1-B PROGRAM ACCOUNTABLE. AND FOR GOD’S SAKE GET RID OF THAT RED TIED IDIOT DONALD TRUMP.

Just like the disgusting war on undocumented workers (who am I kidding- anyone poor and brown) the problem isn’t solved by punishing the workers, punish the ones that hire them.

This $100,000 extra fee does nothing more than force employers to scramble and figure out how to comply, taking attention away from actually doing business, terrorize honest, good, and decent humans and let the employers with the deepest pockets write a check and keep doing what they’ve been doing.

Then when jobs are filled by h1-b holders, require employers to prove they have established and are conducting training programs for US Citizens to replace the H1-B employees within an acceptable timeframe.

Reforming the program would have been far less disruptive. Have employers prove they exhausted ever option to hire US citizens (just like they do for PERM/Green Card sponsorship) Then when jobs are filled by h1-b holders,

I’ll be the first to admit that the H1-B Visa program has been abused (and in lots of cases, so have the employees that hold H1-B’s). But the $100k additional fee enacted by royal decree isn’t the way to fix it. The program as it stands is bullshit.
