My latest with Robert Birsel: Trump’s new H-1B visa fee is intended to curb the hiring of foreign over domestic workers in the U.S. H-1B visas are often used by tech companies to bring in foreign talent with particular skills they need.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun was asked about the new visa fees, which would impact skilled workers heading from China to the U.S., at a regular press briefing on Monday, September 22.
„In the era of globalization, the cross-border flow of talent has driven technological progress and economic development worldwide,“ Guo said, according to a translation of his remarks by China’s state-run Global Times.
Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa proposal isn’t just about U.S. immigration, it has ripple effects abroad. China’s response shows how global the talent market truly is. If the U.S. prices people abroad, other countries (including China and India) stand to benefit by shoring up that talent and the industries that come with it. What’s meant to „protect“ American jobs might just accelerate the talent shift overseas

It would be interesting if suddenly American techsperts are offered higher wages over seas and completely flips the whole thing

Trump could be essentially driving the brains away from the US, many other countries will capitalise on this and snap people up. Trump could easily be turning the US back to the horse and cart (figure of speech).
If only there were people in the US Congress to stop his silly ideas instead of a room full of yes men.

What is truly interesting is that according to new US administration USA was ripped off, US citizens were discriminated against foreign workers and somehow US was at losing end of globalisation
And yet -: US weight in global stock market grew. US have only 4% of global population but 25% of global GDP. USD is world reserve currency. US maintains its military bases around the world.
I wonder what would have happened if US was not ripped off. US would have 99% of world GDP and everyone would be slaves of US 😉

H-1Bs are abused in the US and needs attention. But like everything else that’s broken, the answer isn’t whatever this clown proposes

Immigration is a problem unless you give us life changing amount of money ?

What’s the opposite of a brain drain? Like we stop letting smart people in to offset our idiocy. Instead of brains going down the drain, we are blocking them like some kind of brain coat

It will ultimately strengthen the tech industry in China.

The EO is unconstitutional. It’s better for everyone to just ignore it for the time being.

China responds? The first line in the article says China chooses not to comment.

Given what he’s also doing to the universities (dictating what they teach / say) as well as the US education system that’s kinda the point. The oligarchs will have more power and cheaper labour when people are toiling in a mine than skilled labour.
“Smart people don’t really like me” as he said.

H1B has worked great for China, they’ve been able to steal tons of valuable American intellectual property.

Remember the famous Disney IT issue…. In 2015, Disney Parks laid off approximately 250 U.S. IT workers and required them to train their H-1B visa replacements from India, sparking national controversy and lawsuits that alleged the company violated immigration laws by displacing American workers.

Newsweek is entirely click bait.

Do China and India have their own versions of H1B visas?

Can Trump just change these H1-B visa rules or does Congress need to update this immigration policy?

It’s China’s opportunity to vacuum world’s greatest minds. They should respond by offering attractive salaries. The US will crumble thinking its local population can compete with the world’s top professionals.

right, so most of the US trained scientists, programmers, engineers, etc. will go back to China or try Europe/Canada. Main problem is there are no homegrown Joe or Billy to fill the gaps in those sectors. Americans are too busy with careers in athletics and entertainment. “Shooting yourself in the foot” just got a new Webster entry: “What Donald, 100k per H1B visa? That’s shooting yourself in the foot”

This new visa cost structure would allow Trump and his folks to make lots of exceptions, which is how they’ll use it for corruption.

trump is using the visa fee as a tool of extortion. He knows companies won’t be able to afford it, so he will be willing to drop it if they meet his demands. MMW.
