Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says

Boy, that's going to be a popular rule. I'll bet K Street is getting their engines gassed and greased for this.

I'm deeply unhappy about H1B abuse. I've watched it happen, in front of me. It's definitely a real thing. But I also worry about the legit folks, that want to take advantage of it.

Yeah, this is one of those things where the abuses have real negative consequences for our country.

However, when used by people that we (theoretical, rational economic actors) actually want here… those truly exceptional people who may not look exceptional on paper… Well, getting those people here has been one of the magical things about the United States of America, so far.

Messing with that is dangerous. It needs to be done, but it needs to be done very surgically.
