Except $100,000 is a pittance to any company big enough to be importing cheap labor in the first place. These are companies that shrug off billion-dollar fines, they have $100k in the executive boardroom couch cushions, so it’s absolutely worth it for them to pay $100k to the government in exchange for getting a $50k per year discount on labor for that role.

It’s a 3yr visa and a $100k application fee. So yeah, if you’re paying someone $50k/yr under market value, that’s a savings of $50k (as opposed to the $150k savings it was without the fee). I agree it might not kill the program outright, but it shouldn’t. The actual stated intent of the program is good. But it would curb abuse somewhat, as it takes away a huge portion of the proposed savings.
