Many of you probably favor the $100,000 fee, but if the fee is set too high the Congress will nip it in the bud.

The Great American Dream is to convert the world from a religion-prolonged feudal Divine Rights of an Emperor and his cronies and descendants to the Christiam plan of the equality in worth of every human, which we have been abandoning lately.

Giving resident visas to non-chistian heathen is not furthering the American Dream.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Ga. 3:28 AV).

Note in Christ Jesus is the key, not in islam's Allah or Hindu"s plethora of gods, or even Mormonist wrongly viewed enitiy of the Jesus of the Bible.

Excuse me, I’m supposed to shed tears for foreign workers because they may not be able to attain the great American dream? F’EM! How about we worry about all the Americans who can’t attain the Great American dream, let alone those who are living on the streets. Let all these poor Indians go to Russia, I understand they are short workers due to some little kerfuffle they started somewhere.

I suspect that this fee is a “hidden tariff” on corporations that want to hire foreigners instead of Americans, as they are cheaper. A LOT of American professionals have been fired because of this.

I saw the headline and immediately thought:

On the other hand, it might make it easier for actual Americans to achieve.

How xenophobic of me!

About damned Time.

Description of the EO:

"One of the most abused visas systems in our current immigration system has been the H-1B non-immigrant visa program.

What this proclamation will do is raise the fee that companies pay to sponsor H-1B applicants to $100,000 PER EMPLOYEE PER YEAR."

Let them work remotely in India. They get to stay home and we don’t have to deal with them. Win-win.

In my 30+ years in IT, H1Bs WERE NOT primarily hired for their expertise, and certainly NOT their work habits, BUT TO KEEP THE SALARIES OF AMERICANS LOWER!

“indians on H-1bs aren’t Americans.

The ironic part is that we have many Indian-Americans who study computer science in university. The Indian H1Bs steal their jobs too. Though I have read that there are many Indian run hi-tech firms in USA and Indian run sections in various US hi-tech firms. They only hire their own. Though they will also hire Indian-American computer jockeys. You are a white American..... forget about it!

How about an Indian Dream for Indians and an American Dream for Americans?

Nice! In a year, freerepublic.com will be the only functioning website.

Also, to those who now can’t achieve the American dream: welcome to the party, pal.

I can tell you that in my connection network to Walmart, this is going to clear out Bentonville AR. Maybe even give me a chance to get back into i.t.

In Connecticut I could make 120k coding. Here the pay is $13 an hour and I made better money doing Uber. Know why? Because Indian labor is, and has always been, about modern slavery. These guys pack 12 into an apartment, 2 women to cook and clean, and live like animals.

And I love our Indian nationals. They are nice, but also carry with them that intense rudeness and callousness that India ingrained with them.

Also racist and they pick up their kids and leave when my daughter shows up on the playground.

You know what? Screw it. They’re @$$holes. Empty out their bug infested apartments and bring those rent costs down.

Only to foreigners. It’ll give American born folks a better chance though.
