2. I work for a major high tech company in the USA

we employ a large number of skilled workers using the H1B visa program.

We will ( my predication ) not hire H1B workers in the USA anymore. We will simply hire them in their country of origin OR hire them in another country ( for time zone or other reasons ) like Mexico or Canada or elsewhere. We are officially a WFA ( work from anywhere ) company. One of my team mates works from a sail boat in the Galapagos islands. Many work from remote locations in the USA. I work primarily from my home.

We will still hire foreign workers... only they will stay in India or Taiwan or the EU and spend their money they earn there. There is absolutely no need for them to be local in the USA.

Silly stupid Trump and Lutnick ( Lick nut ).

Great job morons.

I feel sorry for many of our workers who have been here many years on an H1B visa who will now face a difficult decision. I don't see my company ( as generous as they have been to the staff ) picking up the cost of an extra $100K per year per foreign worker currently here on an H1B.
