Thank you, Mr. President. One of the
0:01
most abused visa systems in our current
0:04
immigration system has been the H1B,
0:06
non-immigrant visa program. This is
0:09
supposed to allow highly skilled
0:11
laborers uh who work in fields that
0:13
Americans don't work in to come into the
0:15
United States of America. Uh what this
0:17
uh proclamation will do is raise the fee
0:20
that companies pay to sponsor H1B
0:23
applicants to $100,000.
0:26
This will ensure that the people they're
0:28
bringing in are actually very highly
0:30
skilled and that they're not replaceable
0:32
by American workers. So, it'll protect
0:34
American workers, but ensure that
0:36
companies have a pathway to hire truly
0:38
extraordinary people and bring them to
0:41
We need workers. We need workers. We
0:43
need great workers. And this pretty much
0:45
ensures that that's what's going to
0:47
happen. I think Sean, you agree with
0:49
Well, they're $100,000
0:51
per year. So the whole idea is no more
0:55
will these big tech companies or other
0:57
big companies train foreign workers.
1:01
They have to pay the government
1:02
$100,000. Then they have to pay the
1:04
employee. So it's just not economic. If
1:07
you're going to train somebody, you're
1:09
going to train one of the recent
1:11
graduates from one of the great
1:13
universities across our land. Train
1:15
Americans. Stop bringing people to take
1:18
our jobs. That's the policy here.
1:21
$100,000 a year for H-1B visas and all
1:25
of the big companies are on board. We've
1:28
spoken to them about the gold.
1:29
They love it. They love it. They really
1:31
love it. They need it.
