The Trump administration is planning to add a $100,000 to the fee for H-1B visa applications, taking aim at a program that is used to attract highly skilled workers to the U.S.
The additional fee, which was confirmed to CBS News by a White House official, would impact employers including tech giants such as Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and Google, which have relied on the program to hire foreign workers.
President Trump could sign a proclamation adding the new fee as soon as Friday, and which would restrict H-1B workers from entering the U.S. unless accompanied by the $100,000 payment, according to Bloomberg News, which earlier reported the plan.

$100,000 fee for H-1B:
This would follow the axiom “if you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it.”

I love it! Then if they truly need that talent they’ll pay it. Otherwise I suspect they’ll find the person in the USA.

Least it will protect American jobs.
To: for-q-clinton
Absolutely correct. It’s a small fee for the right talent. It will attract the best and the brightest.

My experience w H-1B employees:
If American salary is $100K, the H-1B is $80K....BUT that's what the H-1B Company gets....while the H-1B employee receives $40K.

Nice idea but all its going to mean is they will just hire someone working in India.
Two years ago IBM got rid of over 1k Americans and mandated all future hires be from India.
My team of 60 now has only 2 Americans working for them.

I recently sent out a few dozen tech related resumes. I noticed I have gotten zero Indian or Pakistani head hunter responses. 2 years ago they were ALL foreign responses. They figured out that was a bad PR move. It is still very hard to get a tech job for real Americans.

It will be great to deal with many isses and companies.
It won’t affect the companies that have their own places overseas where they work.

When I worked at Apple I was the only American of 35 employees in my department. I moved around for 6 years at Apple and eventually left. I don’t have anything against somebody trying to get the best job they can get, but not at the expense of Americans.

The H1B visa program has been abused soo much!
With this payments, the employers will think a lot more before bringing somebody in!

Does the president have the statutory authority to do this? We know it will be blocked by some Obama judge.

...taking aim at a program that is used to attract highly skilled workers to the U.S. That's how the program was sold - in reality it was another 'cheap labor ploy' but for higher level companies than resort hotels and farmers.

It should be $100,000 for each H-1B worker brought in.
