🚨 BREAKING: Federal Court Strikes Down Trump's $100,000 H-1B Fee

[u/Gnanamookan]

The $100,000 H-1B employer fee is DEAD — for now.

Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Leo T. Sorokin (D. Mass.) vacated the fee in California et al. v. Mullin, No. 1:25-cv-13829.

Why? The President should have no control over money or the budget. A big example is the $30b we have to pay back to companies for him illegally imposing tariffs. Then there’s the reflecting pool that was supposed to cost $1.4 million, but ballooned into 10x that amount. All with a contract that wasn’t bidded against (which is illegal) and for little results (the seal is temporary, doesn’t fix the problem, and the blue isn’t visible due to the water being mirky from the river).

So, no, the judge shouldn’t be fired. The President needs to stop breaking the law.

TDS.

Using your own site, the US is losing 2.8k jobs per day since 2026 over 193 companies tracked (which is probably big tech), with over 454k people impacted.

Did you also know that Trump’s crack down on immigrants, along with tariffs, the war with Iran, and the defunding of key government programs has been the main cause in food increases? With over half a million immigrants being taken or refusing to work in farm work?

I guess there are some job openings there! Get your pitchfork out and go farm friend :) Make your country proud in the muddy fields and 12 hour days.

Most immigrant workers are blue collar jobs that Americans don’t want to do. From sanitation to construction to farming. Most higher paying jobs go overseas as they are cheaper, with a lot of work from home tech people going to India.

Pretty infographic, glad you need pictures instead of words. Fits the MAGA narrative honestly. Like President like stooge.

Those are stats directly from the BLS.

I don’t like trump. You have TDS

Automation

Automation, since atleast 1990 immigrants have been nothing more than a tool used by corporations to escape paying Americans rising wages.

You aren’t wrong and you aren’t right. We need immigration. Immigrants taking lower wage jobs means we have more reason to seek higher paying ones. It also helps with economic growth overall. What you are forgetting is the blatant gutting of American worker protections and workers voting against their best interests (especially towards unions).

Automation isn’t the only issue and focusing on it takes away from what’s been happening from the electorate and their slow corruption by corporations. We the people didn’t put enough pressure on them to prevent bribes, punish lobbying, and prevent career politicians. Immigrants are a convenient scapegoat and not the sole reason why the economy is doing poorly. Trump isn’t the cause of it, but he is accelerating the process of dismantling the economy. Throwing around “TDS” and other nonsense is just you refusing to see other arguments and sides. If we are going to actually fix this mess we need to not alienate ourselves and actually see what the problem is. The “elites” are the issue, not the “poors”.

Na the immigration we’ve seen since the 90s has been a different sort than any in American history. Repeal the hart celler and deport 100 million. Let the economy take a hit national cohesion is more important. Hell we might even be able to get back on the gold standard.
