So we all saw the headlines that foreign H-1B applications were down 87%. However, the 2027 allocation of H-1Bs was still maxed out because, instead of paying the $100K fee, companies simply hired Indians already here on student visas, which is only a $2-3K fee.

I told you all that the $100K fee on H-1Bs only created an extra step and that Indians and companies would abuse F-1 to get around it. Looks like the Trump administration is getting ahead of it.



Of course, the real fix is that we need Congress to end F-1 and H-1B altogether. Shut down immigration for a decade, outside of extreme cases.

Everyone watching the Texas Ohio State game last night saw the same thing, every time they showed the stands it was all Indians.

There’s 1.48 billion people in India and they all want to move to the US.

And prohibit these visa holders from bringing spouses or family.

They’re doing the six figure jobs Americans don’t want to do, young man.

A lot of them stay in school constantly and keep working. When they graduate, they immediately re-enroll in something else. They need to make sure to cover that while they're taking care of all this.

Their lives need to be work only with no chance to create families.

I used to own a gas station and would gladly own a hotel, given I had the time and opportunity


Many native Americans would

And almost every one of those businesses are filthy dumps.

Don’t they get special treatment from the government to own those businesses?

Any tax breaks with that?

Any special financing agreements?

Any special treatment at all?

Why do they always seem to sell such business's to another just like them after so many years?

This is one reason JD can never be president. Because of his wife he’ll never end this shite.

This is the dumbest shite I’ve ever heard.

First it was “immigrants pick fruit in the fields because Americans won’t do hard labor!”

Now it’s turned into “Americans don’t want to run businesses but immigrants do!”

Power bottom, I'd like to meet you. I mean that. I'd love to see how quick you are with that dick sucking mouth when an actual male is within reach of your jaw.
