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

Interesting decision. I'm on the F1 -> H1B pipeline myself as a software engineer. And my wife is a researcher working on Genetic Engineering.

Of the both of us, I've been the strong proponent for moving the US. and with each passing day, its getting harder to make a strong case for the pain, and uncertainty of moving here.

Lately everything has been counter to what one would expect from a pro-growth, accelerationist country. But I understand where the reasoning is coming from, though.

That is exactly the goal here by this administration.

Shutting down the H1B is the end of the American success story. First generation immigrants have started the majority of our unicorns.

So there were no American immigrant success stories pre-1990, when the H-1 program started?

No, there was no immigration process back then, you just came.

Which is why all the people yelling about immigration today, who are second and third generation, need to be quiet.
