Not only make it retroactive, make it even more restrictive.
It's like saying hey 70% of the cancer is gone in you so be happy!! Even though you still have cancer [30%].
And i will never understand... TECH of all fields literally skip talent from America and every other civilized advanced nation on planet earth so they can literally hire brain dead 80 iq jeets with fake degrees who can't integrate, shit everywhere, and are known for nepotism
the people applying for them are the same scam call center street shitters ripping off hundreds of thousands daily from americans and senior citizens then cheating on exams for certifications to get their h1b and funding everything with the money they scammed
they have entire telegram channels and communities dedicated to sharing exam questions and answers so they can cheat this system
existing fees: "The primary H-1B visa petition fee is currently $460, but other mandatory and optional fees apply, including a $500 Anti-Fraud fee, a $2,805 optional Premium Processing fee, and a potential $780 employer-paid petition fee that is separate from the standard filing fee."
Promises kept!!!! I am so happy about this one. To me these H1B visas were hiring people at slave wages and taking advantage of people who wanted to have their children become US citizens. These people worked long hours for lower wages and took away jobs from US citizens. I wish we could get Congress to vote on this instead of it being an executive order. But it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Next I'd like to see the President penalize American tech companies that fire their American workers and replace them with cheap overseas employees. There's not nearly as much talk about this anymore but that outsourcing epidemic continues.
I want to be careful and maintain the privacy of my customer, but as an example:
I work in cyber security and my biggest customer is a giant company. Think top 10 on the Fortune 100 list.
They have one of the best IT shops I've ever worked with. Well managed, consistent standards, smart use of automation, and they're not afraid to build their own tools when they're able to hire the talent required.
They pay slightly below market rate but a lot of talented people stick around because the company is very stable and layoffs have been extremely rare.
But, some new kids entered the c-suite two years ago. They want to empty out their cutting edge data centers that are run like a precision watch by their people, and stuff all that data into the cloud.
And now that this process has started, the full picture has become clear:
-Move all the data to one central platform.
-Lay off all of the American workers (their IT team is 85% U.S. based) under the faulty premise that things are "simple" now that everything is in the cloud.
-Increase profits.
I have no doubt many of you in the IT field know that nobody winds up saving money by moving to the cloud. But regardless, the new executives want to torch a massive IT staff that functions like a well oiled machine so that they can outsource all of those jobs to foreign workers making 20-30k per year.
There MUST be a price to pay for companies that do this. IT workers have been treated like potato chips for far too long.
It’s going to be interesting what Elon thinks about this. His partner w/Space X title is Indian and both Musk and him are want bring people into US. A lot of Indians.
I'm grateful, being in tech. Couldn't we make it retroactive?

It's about time something happened on this front
Elon gunna be REAL pissed that hes losing his cheap pajeet slave labor
Probably should have just directly linked the article, so here it is:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-19/trump-to-add-new-100-000-fee-for-h-1b-visas-in-latest-crackdown
how exactly is this good news?

You will only get the "cream of the crop" scammers as they will be the only ones who have stolen enough money to afford the fee.
Lovely. Next step eliminate scammers

Why not a million?
Why not end it we have enough , get the 40 million out of here before we bring more in
I definitely agree and add that this needs to be codified.
I think Trump did it this way (for now) because it's expeditious.

Send them all back
This can’t be underscored enough This is going to do many great things
1). Encourage STEM in education
2). Stimulate US technology dominance like we were
3). Pay STEM professionals what they deserve
4). Keep US tech inside the US
5). Turbocharge US tech dominance
Not only is there abuse of the H1B visas, but out sourcing of tech to India and answering services out of the U.S.
That amount needs to be higher. Much, much higher. Like, 20x that amount.
Bigly
There's a huge scramble of jeets trying to get here before that goes into effect.
Per visa?!
Did I just hear the tech sector scream bloody shit? GOOD.
They destroyed my career by minimizing my value with this, and many many others
Just wait until some liberal LOON says that fee is way too high...I'LL BE WAITING!!!!!
Good! There’s gonna be jobs coming! This makes hiring foreign res way more expensive.
It’s all about the cash, no trouble. Catchy tune. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=49WTXn4FLYw
Maybe some of them will finally put the front license plate on their teslas.

It needs to be retroactive to pay for the street-shitters who are here now.
Can someone copy and paste the whole article here, can't see past the paywall
