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

Mafia behavior continues… (not my observation, but the Texas senator’s Ted Cruz[1]).

$100k is a big pizzo (protection fee)!

> “That’s right outta ‘Goodfellas,’ that’s right out of a mafioso going into a bar saying, ‘Nice bar you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it,’” Cruz said, using the iconic New York accent associated with the Mafia.

It does go to the government and not to Trump's personal wallet (like the memecoins and lavish gift), it's just a tax that's just not being called a tax, and frankly it's a good idea. The current abuse of H1B doesn't work out positively for anyone but the companies making a boatload of money on exploiting people.
