Walmart paused corporate job offers to candidates that require H-1B visas to work in the U.S., Bloomberg reported citing people familiar with the change, as the Trump administration’s planned policy requiring companies to pay $100,000 fees for new applicants requiring the visas begins to impact American businesses.

And the Chamber of Commerce chimes in.......

““The new $100,000 visa fee will make it cost-prohibitive for U.S. employers, especially startups and small and midsize businesses, to utilize the H-1B program, which was created by Congress expressly to ensure that American businesses of all sizes can access the global talent they need to grow their operations here in the U.S.,” Neil Bradley, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement after the nation’s largest business lobbying group sued the Trump administration earlier this month over its visa system changes.

In response, the White House said the visa changes were legal and an “incremental step towards necessary reforms to the H-1B program.””

I haven't seen foot in a Walmart in 17 years, and never will.

I beg to differ. You say you have never seen a foot in a Walmart.

Now you have seen two.

Thank you for noticing that darn autocorrect. I've seen a lot more than that at Walmart.

Good to see you, brother.
