@MooreGovernor @marcharles8789 @BjsUiw32692 @eurofounder @JeffBezos Scrutiny of H1B's potential to displace American workers is warranted and overdue.

Ashley Tellis was under surveillance as he downloaded USAF aircraft details in a US govt cubicle. Then he promptly handed Chinese officials a gift bag. Now, after being arrested, Tellis says the bag was only “a small gift of tea”. Ashley thinks prosecutors are stupid.

The H1B proclamation allows a flood of *NEW* H1B workers to continue thru Sep 2026, without the $100k fee. That's 22 months after the election. About 1,000,000 aliens/spouses currently work under the H1B program. Are any real H1B reforms planned before Sep 2026? Anything?

Evidently none of these H1B visa changes will take effect until the March 2026 lottery! 🙁 https://t.co/eVzmL7WbZN
To be clear: 1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition. 2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter. H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the
