The Trump administration announced Friday that H-1B visas will now come with a $100,000 annual fee, but the White House says it will only apply to new visa applicants.

So after the Hyundai-LG plant raid he tweeted it was a mistake and that he needed skilled engineers for company’s building in the US. That they’re very important.

Then announces that those same engineers will need to pay 100k to get in.

Slow-clap for his brilliance.

He's a Russian asset with dementia, shepherded by a mentally ill, psychopathic, Christian Taliban.

This is the best they can do. Either way, Ji and Putin win.

Trump isn't making these calls play-by-play. He set ICE loose with a quota. Shit happens. "Not like that!" His handlers are scrambling to contain the nonsense. Don't expect it to make sense.

I think you're slightly misstating things. Those engineers will not pay 100K, it makes no sense at all. A potential employer could pay, but there's no chance an employee would.

I’m sure the employers definitely will
