Just before Christmas, the Hill ran another terrific story headlined, “Judge rejects challenge to Trump’s $100K H-1B visa fee.” The Chamber of Commerce plus 18 Democrat states sued to block President Trump’s most significant policy intended to stop H1B abuse. Federal judge Beryl Howell —an Obama appointee— just denied their lawsuit.

One of the biggest lies this Fall was that Republicans and President Trump were promoting Chinese students and pushing H1B visas. How some conservatives fell for this falsehood is beyond me. But they did, and it led to countless euphoric articles in corporate media about the “fracturing” of MAGA.

But H1Bs were actually being supported by Democrats. The so-called “workers’ party.” The party of the labor unions. But for some reason, Democrats are supporting big corporations that want access to cheap H1B foreign workers. This lawsuit proved it. The truth is that President Trump has done more to reform H1B visa abuse than any president in our lifetimes, and the Democrats (plus the Chamber of Commerce, but I repeat myself) opposed him at every step.

The Hill clung to hope, mentioning that Democrats can still appeal Judge Howell’s decision. But the fact that an Obama Appointee dismissed their arguments is what lawyers call

“a bad sign” for the appeal.

The article mentioned that on top of the $100K “fee” for most new H1B visa applications, even more reforms are about to kick in. For example, the Administration is ending the “lottery system” that prioritized applications in random order. Next month, DHS will replace the random lottery with a weighted selection process that prioritizes applications for positions actually requiring specialized skills and which pay above-market wages.

Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser explained, “The existing random selection process of H-1B registrations was exploited and abused by U.S. employers who were primarily seeking to import foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay American workers.”

If your concerns include H1B reform, nobody has done more without Congress than President Trump. You’re welcome.

Most Americans are wondering why they can't find jobs when the evidence is overwhelming why they can't find jobs.

The top 4 states (CA, TX, NJ, NY) have 34,015 Employers that have filed 293,280 H-1B applications to deprive them of 532,443 jobs with a salary amount of $194,959,016,770 dollars.

Somebody want to explain to me how that creates jobs for Americans in America?

I will bet that @WhiteHouse @POTUS @VP @SecretaryLCD cannot.

We have this company called Micron out here. They are techies making RAM chips. I suspect they only hire h1bs, because I see many Indians pop up here. Going to run a little experiment to test my theory.

Every Indian I've met in boise area has been a Micron employee or Uber driver. All of them with heavy accent. They are stealing native high paying jobs.

Whatever happened to the 100k to be an H1B here?

Trump made that 100k for new applicants, not renewals.

They are all Micron employees. Saw some working for ITD too. I looked at micron hr, it’s all Indians. Jobs have h1b salary ranges. They are not there to hire Americans, I bet you’ll get declined if you aren’t Indian.

I am probably overqualified for a few of the jobs I applied to there when I first moved here, not a peep. Probably for the best I landed a much better job in what I like. But yes once Indians get in there they strategically take over and bring family members and other Indians in.
Also saw a post in this thread with housing and saw some shady housing stuff going on with h1b workers, I went to a multimillion dollar house that just rotates Indian families through it all work at Micron.

What's the address? I can get a little investigation going, I know a few guys around here.

Just googled and got this off of reddit this post is what I have seen and the house I mention above h1b is transfer from Singapore. Also Micron is building a huge plant in India this should be stopped.
