President Donald Trump did not exceed his authority when he issued a Sept. 19 proclamation requiring employers to pay an additional $100,000 before new H-1B visas can be processed, a federal district court judge held Dec. 23 in Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
President Trump legitimately exercised his broad discretion authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict the entry of noncitizens into the U.S., the judge found. Trump found the proclamation was necessary to counter abuse of the H-1B program, which the proclamation asserts is harming American workers and creating a national security threat, he said.
The ruling does not discount the contributions H-1B workers are making to the American economy, the judge stressed. But the parties’ debate over how the proclamation will affect employers and the economy is not within the court’s province to decide, so long as it is within the confines of the law, she said.

The entire program should just be sunset but the fee is better than nothing I suppose. I really don’t want more of those people in America.
Hallelujah. Raise the fee even more than originally intended, Mr. President. That will give them food for thought in the future.
Now that we know the extra fee is OK, increase it from $100,000 to $1M.
At least one judge gets it. Whether something the president does is good or bad policy is irrelevant. All that matters for the judge is what the law says.
Trump should have raised the fee to 1 million dollars per year per visa. If the reason for the visa was for the scarcity of people for the job, then 1 million dollar fee would have ruled out the fraud. As one tech company stated after the 100,000 dollar fee was enacted, they would just consider the increase as the cost of doing business and wouldn’t change their operations.
“Trump should have raised the fee to 1 million dollars per year per visa.”
The year is young!
Has any country in the history of the world ever brought in people from a third-rate foreign country to replace their own highly talented workers? Asking for a friend.
See America is just an idea so everyone is American if they think hard enough
Color me stuned.
Germany, England, France...
This almost always works for the first two or three generations.
The respective skills of the natives and the foreigners matter very little. What counts is to implement systems of privilege for one group over the other. The privileged group is indirectly weakened by their dependency on the goodwill from the government. The non-privileged group is directly weakened by government-sanctioned oppressions.
Inter-group resentments weaken all the groups, leaving the government in a relatively stronger position.
Competent rulers could hold this system together forever. The reason they don't is because that competence tends to deteriorate with every new generation. People with unrestrained power stop getting feedback that might warn them when they are making mistakes and guide them to making corrective actions. External circumstances change in unfavorable ways, and the rulers fail to notice or adapt.
And here we are again in more of those "interesting times" that the Chinese philosophers warned us about.
“The ruling does not discount the contributions H-1B workers are making to the American economy, the judge stressed”
Always stick to the Uniparty line.
We have citizens of India running ALL (or close) our computer systems. Pharmacies, hospitals and banks. They could shut down Walmart tomorrow morning. I am not talking about Germany importing Turks to work on the assembly lines at Mercedes-Benz. There is no historical analogy to this.
Per H1-B hire, per day.
Use the money to pay reparations to white males going back 25 years.
“It’s always enjoyable to see the Chamber of Commerce take one on the chin.”
Amen.
Cancel H1B. It’s screwing the job market.
In the 2nd-to-last paragraph, the Chamber of Commerce is appealing the Dec. 23 ruling.
