I saw that many welcomed this, since it will help stop the visa mills, and push towards importing higher talent, rather than local-offshoring. What's your opinion on these two?
Is this sarcasm? Not that Trump's word means anything, but Trump has been against it since his first term. Having cancelled it temporarily in that first term, has said that he'll end H1B if he gets reelected, and that US shouldn't have the H1B program.
It's only since 2025 when Elon was in his good books and told Republicans to not vote for a bill that Trump woke up that day and decided he'd be pro-H1B.
How so? In September he added a requirement that any future H1B visas from people abroad will require an unprecedented $100,000 payment.

It's increasing the offshore-offshoring in the form of GCCs ("Global Capability Centres").
Interestingly, thanks to Covid practices, real estate demand hasn't gone up as the GCCs are just mandating 2-3 days WFH, especially in chip design.
Well either $100,000 per person or an large one time direct donation to Trump to be legally exempted from that charge.
I'm looking forward to the Trump brand visa and pardon combo packs.
