Don’t threaten a tariff. Just threaten to revoke all H1Bs immediately if they do not comply.
Exactly.
Microsoft is laying off about 9,000 employees after applying to fill thousands of foreign worker positions in the months leading up to the mass layoffs, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of U.S. Department of Labor data.
DOL quarterly statistics show that Microsoft submitted 4,776 labor condition applications, a prerequisite for filing H-1B visa petitions, between September and March, indicating to the U.S. government that it intends to fill 14,181 positions with foreign workers this fiscal year. The filings, however, include extensions to existing employment (3,680), petition amendments (285), and transfers (487), not just new H-1B hires, although the number of new foreign worker hires (9,738) was still high.
MS is evil.
Why is it ok for the US to dictate India’s foreign and economic policy? The very idea is pure arrogance on the part of the US. Instead, if we really want this conflict to end, we should be sitting down and asking Putin what he needs. If we want something, we need to make sure Russia’s needs are met. If the US were in Russia’s situation we wouldn’t compromise either.
Trump could do 30 or 35% - beyond that and H1B ranks will be filled with spies and tech thieves.
Just what I was thinking.
