So MANY U.S. citizens do not understand this!

Shrimptank🇦🇺🇺🇸 :

People never think of it from the side of protecting the immigrants or foreign workers.

Jenn :

You’re exactly right! Not only that, but Mexico asks USA citizens for 200-300k in savings to be able to apply for a NORMAL residency visa. It’s only fair honestly 🤷🏽‍♀️some of my family were complaining they he moved the visiting visa from $6 to $30, yet they don’t realize that visiting visa for USA citizens is actually $50 imposed from Mexico. It’s all gotta be fair and equal

Adelle :

My grandma is from Korea and has worked at a company longer than I’ve been alive and makes less than me.

RustyPinecone :

yes thank you for explaining this well!

iAmAFarmer :

keep in mind... a lot of these immigrants or foreign send money back to their families instead

Cheney Hess :

A quick Google search will show you that there were many many companies who hired thousands of foreign workers well also laying off tens of thousands of US employees.

Ari :

look up how much ppl on H1B visas make on average. They make 6 figures and more

yojo_esquire :

As someone that is in-house at a big tech company and have dealt with a lot of this - the 100k fee is not high enough. If it was 100k PER YEAR, that would help. Also, not applying it to current visa holders was a huge mistake. There are way too many of them here already.

Drake Ian LeFevre :

So many people complains about wages but want to bring in people who accept working for way less which drives down wages.

Amomysaurus :

I agree. The work visas are unfair to both the American workers and the foreign workers. This helps balance it out a bit better.

Scent the Mood :

You’re 100% correct and people who aren’t willing to see the truth of it. Just want to hate Donald Trump and they’ll use any reason to do so.

Mary W :

That is inaccurate. B1 visas are a contract and they can be here earning a wage that is set by the b1 visa program. If they quit or are terminated the employer has to pay for their flight home, just like they have to pay for their flight here. It’s highly watched by the department of homeland as well as the department of labor. The employer also has to provide housing.

Kri$ten🤷🏼‍♀️ :

Instant follow. Teach me more things please.

🍀Fear..... :

might be able to understand customer service now

user6509245147153 :

Not only does the company pay them less, they hold the visas over their heads as a means of control to force obedience.

Demiurge210 :

That’s true but there are loopholes to avoid the $100k. If they’re already here, they avoid the fee. Or they could use L1.

chris :

same reason Ford has its factorys in Mexico. they can hire super cheap labor and pay people like 2 dollars an hour.

Harris The Longxia🇻🇳🇨🇱🇺🇸 :

100k is still way too cheap, it should be closer to 500k, and off/near shoring should be corprate tax at 90% and not be deductible

user6012818404580 :

Hello , why have you decided to move to the USA from Canada ? I moved to Texas in the 90s from Canada and I am wondering your reasons! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Burnt Toast :

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what H1B visas are for. It’s not for cheap labor, but for people who are very specialized and good at something. This visas are very limited as is, and companies can’t give many of them to begin with

Marco :

This thought process isn’t horrible, just incorrect based on how H1B visas work. This will hurt America has the innovation and tech center of the world

matt :

Its for all new h1b visas. current ones and ones that applied for thr 2025 lottery stay the same

Aurumus :

Also, because their visas depend on continued employment, many salaried lower-paid visa workers often accept very long hours. Remaining U.S. staff often feel pressure to match those hours to avoid being seen as replaceable.
