Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas

“A hundred-thousand dollars a year for H-1B visas, and all of the big companies are on board. We’ve spoken to them,” Lutnick said at an Oval Office event with the US president.

“If you’re going to train somebody, you’re going to train one of the recent graduates from one of the great universities across our land. Train Americans. Stop bringing in people to take our jobs,” he said.

“Either the person is very valuable to the company and America, or they are going to depart and the company is going to hire an American,” Lutnick said at the briefing. “And that’s the point of immigration. Hire Americans and make sure the people coming in are the top, top people. Stop the nonsense.”

Option #1: bring in highly skilled foreigners, who have been trained at someone else's expense.

Option #2: train USians to do the work, which takes time, and a lot of money.

Option #3: move the "knowledge work" offshore, where the highly skilled people, who were trained at someone else's expense, are.
