A judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s reforms of the H-1B visa worker program that allows Fortune 500 CEOs to sideline many American professionals and new graduates.
“Breaking: Judge White, Northern District of California, sets aside both the [Department of Labor] and [Department of Homeland Security] H-1B regulations,” said a tweet by the business groups’ lawyer, Paul Hughes. “These regulations sought to destroy the H-1B program.”
“Today’s ruling is great news for Americans, and for the ability of the U.S. to remain the top destination for talented individuals,” said a statement from FWD.us, an advocacy group created by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other West Coast investors.
Judge Jeffrey White argued Trump’s rules were illegal because officials had not spent enough time collecting and responding to comments from companies and workers who would be impacted by the change: “Defendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the rational and thoughtful discourse that is provided by the [Administrative Procedure Act’s] notice and comment requirements … the Court sets aside the Rules.”
Trump’s two rules raised the wages that would be paid to 85,000 new H-1B visas by companies, tightened skill requirements for foreigners seeking specialized jobs, and reduced the duration of visas given to companies that import H-1Bs for lease to other companies.
The administration can appeal the decision by the San Francisco judge — but likely won’t get a positive answer before January 20, said John Miano, a lawyer with the Immigration Reform Law Institute.
Biden’s deputies are unlikely to appeal the judge’s decision, said Miano. His campaign was heavily supported by the Silicon Valley firms that use H-1B workforces to minimize the hiring of the ordinary Americans who can learn and then quit to create innovative products.

“Today’s ruling is great news for Americans”
One of the most Orwellian, absurd statements ever foisted on the US
Damned Black-Robed Judiciarchs.
A pox on them all.
The selling out of America is nearly complete
India was the big winner today.
The American white-collar middle class is toast.
Millions of well-educated and well-qualified Americans forced into grinding poverty.
Not spent enough time collecting .....blah blah blah......what a bunch of irrelevant horse hockey. How do judges talk like this with a straight face? They realize they sound like 2nd year sociology/anthropology majors from overpriced 4th tier schools?????
Big winners: American Fortune 500 companies.
H1B bump for later....
Big winners: American Fortune 500 companies.

Arrogant Indian trash are celebrating on all social media today.
Typical Indian comment on Twitter today:
“It’s game over for you guys. Enjoy your student debt and a barista job if you can find it.”
Trump’s H-1B Executive Order was just 2020 political theater.
He could have written it his first day in office and started enforcing it in July 2017.
Just ignore the ruling that’s what Dems do.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Selco’s rules of SHTF: Don’t be a foreigner.
I agree, I worked in the medical field and American med graduates were not hired and H1B visa holders were hired cheaply. Americans getting screwed again.
The DOL sets the prevailing wage for H2A workers (which is a BS process, but not my point) to ensure farmers are not giving foreign workers preference over Americans for economics...why not do the same for H1B? We paid our ag workers $2 more than minimum wage in MA this year. Do the same for all the work visa programs and flush out whether the program exists for cheap labor or because Americans can’t/won’t fill the job. We all know the answer.
Appointed by George W. Bush
Don’t blame the judge. Congress passed the Administrative Procedures Act which defines how these regulatory changes have to be made.
It’s the same law that tripped up Trump before on the census and DACA. The judge is following the law.
