These tech companies are just paying lip service. They are going to just wait Trump out. As soon as a Rat is in power, the H1B program will be restored (without the 100000 fee) and millions more will be allowed to take American jobs. The democrat party leadership truly hates American citizens.

3 years is an eternity in the IT space right now. There is no "waiting it out". I work in this space, so I know firsthand. This is the scam...they have like 8 of these guys living in a 2 bedroom apartment in the DC suburbs or some other urban sh*thole. They all work remotely now and take their salary, pay the $600 rent per month, send back $2k, and spend the rest at strip clubs, video games, prostitutes, and medical weed.

This is a major deal, and what's not being talked about much, and which is REALLY bad, is a review of all the H1Bs upon their 3-year renewal and approving or sending back based on salary and skills. I expect 90% of the H1Bs will not be here in 3 years. Ask anyone who has gotten a green card how difficult it is. They can prove that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the job (through the PERM labor certification process). That just got real tough. Throw in AI and automation, and this program is Dead, Jim....

When the nitrous oxide 200hp shot hits the economy probably Q1 of next year...look out, it will be an IT workers market again if you are a US citizen and technically competent.

The awareness of the outrageous H-1b visa is way up. I hope they can’t go back to business as usual.
