The current 100K on H1-B is not working for Trump babu, I wonder if this will stand the courts...

It would be paid using payroll deductions by employers who hire them or by the companies themselves who hire them.

Beautiful. Sick and tired of all these international students taking our jobs.

The more pertinent question is, under what law does he have the authority to introduce a new income tax?

Remember, how H1-B "fee" fell apart?

Appeals Court Blocks $100,000 H-1B Fee for Now

A federal appeals court has blocked enforcement of the $100,000 H-1B fee while the government’s appeal continues, offering employers temporary relief.

Very likely supreme court is going to throw it out. All of these are stupid stunts to support his falling ratings due to starting world war 3.

Friends of a certain civilisational persuasion we're quickly onto the thread deploying laughter to disguise their concern. Rightly so.

Certainly likely...but these proclamations fall more under the "don't blame me for not trying to help local workers...where was your support"

All of these are stupid stunts to support his falling ratings due to starting world war 3.

Most people don't give a sh*t about the Middle East so no stunts are even needed.

In which case it will favor large(r) companies. I don't see this not getting challenged by companies on grounds of "equal" opportunity for talent etc.

100K for a recent masters doesn't make much difference for Fortune 500 and similar companies. The average immigrant MBA/Masters is starting at 160K (if not more). Companies can foot the additional 100K if push comes to shove.

And frankly, students taking away jobs is such a stupid argument - I would never hire a fresh grad vs. an experienced US employee. A good amount of time is spent on ramp-up / "real-world" know how etc.

Hahaha, they are not taking away your job, unless you are a useless fellow - they are untrained and require so much hand holding. Unless its pushing paper / moving boxes, they are replacing no one.

Trump has imposed Jizya.

Is this meant to be some sort of plea bargain to continue to allow hordes of unwashed scammers into western countries?

Um…the US has untrained grads too you know. It not like new graduates automatically get 20 years of experience added to their resume.

I certainly don't see how a same caliber US grad is better or worse positioned vs. an "immigrant" grad when it comes to job interviews. If anything, immigrants are in disadvantageous position.

The quality of new grads is a broad spectrum and such policies only shift the curve to the left (given immigrants are in general of higher caliber vs. underlying population due to selection bias).

So if you're talented enough, you will get a job in this market. Though I do believe that job market has been hard for new grads in last 2-3 years

Well I'm sure they are just as good a caliber for their jobs back home too.

It's not like people come to the US to get degrees that are completely useless back in their home countries.......

They are - but they don't get the same buck. Its just capitalism my friend, capital (human or financial) will flow where its worth more... you can have artificial barriers which can work in interim but in long-term its really hard to be protectionist and make good/optimal progress. In any case, let the bill/proclamation get signed, take hold and start impacting students - then we can discuss more.

Right now this is a castle in the air
