Huh? I thought that the 100K H1-B was a one-shot application fee, not an annual “tax”. Fees can be set by the Executive, taxes must come from Congress.

The “U.S. Chamber of Commerce” putting foreigners first and Americans last.

“examining the legal basis for the proclamation.”

In other words, they have not found any legal basis for the proclamation. But they went ahead and made it anyway.

US Chamber of Slavery. A. Globalist organization.

If I see the Chamber of Commerce sticker at a business I turn around and walk.

Not sure why a private company thinks it has the right to decide who is allowed to come to America.

fees in my proposal
a. $2,000 per bid fee [to deter bogus/duplicate bids & prevent auction system denial of service], plus
b. a winner fee of 10% of the bid salary, or $8,000, whichever is higher [to compensate for reduced domestic search costs],
c. an annual inverse salary fee of 10% of the salary amount less than $200,000 plus 20% of the salary amount less than $120,000 [to help ensure the program is only used to supply highly skilled people], plus
d. a payroll health coverage cost savings fee of $6 per week per year of age under age 65 [so highly experienced Americans not replaced by cheap, healthy young foreigners]

Genius. Annoy the President on this and he can reduce the overall number, require much more strict and time-consuming background or take any number of other steps.

The question is whether or not the statute passed by Congress that created the H-1B program authorizes the President to impose a fee that is in excess of the reasonable cost to process an application.

I don't know the answer to that. If it does, Trump is right. If it doesn't, the Chamber would be.

No standing. Sorry. If you don’t like it having your candidate get elected.

The US Chamber of Commerce and its local chapters are the raison d’dtre of the RINOS. They are also one of the most anti-American worker organizations that has been undermine our country for a very long time.
I dont think they have standing in this proposed case, but we will see.

President Trump needs to turn around and sue the heck out of the Chamber of Commerce for not minding their own damn business.

A HA! That’s exactly what I called the other day.

The COC has been a useless and greedy chamber for a long time, and used their influence to create the mess we’re in.

Eff ‘em.

College majors in computer science and information systems were once a surefire ticket to success. But today, those who earn degrees in these majors face one of the highest unemployment rates among recent college graduates thanks, in large part, to foreigners taking jobs in these fields. So I’m hoping Trump’s fee increase will prevail.

The Chamber of Commerce has long been the leading supporter of cheap labor and illegal immigration.

It only cares that its businesses make a lot of money. It cares not about America or Americans. Laws mean nothing if they interfere with profits.

This once “Republican-aligned” organization is now an integral part of the democrat party.

Trump needs to get busy getting executive orders like this officially authorized by Congress, rather than trying to influence the outcome of wars.

Gee, maybe these large corporations that use H-1b visas will now have to hire American workers.

The Chamber of Commerce can go F themselves. This isn’t a tax, and they should, pardon the pun, MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
