Yesterday Trump formally created his ‘Gold Card’ program to replace the original cheap green card program that let anyone in. This Gold Card will cost 1 to 5 million dollars per person, and be subject to extreme vetting or prompt removal if the buyer isn't useful.

Another example of trial or pilot programs is the bond for visitor and business visas started in August. Depending on results the U.S. StateDept may expand and extend it.

Trump's USCIS and State Department have rolled out a series of rule changes to restrict legal immigrants, current and new.

This includes removing protections for family members, ending the 'dropbox'/remote renewal process and mandating in-person interviews for H-1B, and a time limit for student visas. Not to mention the suspension of refugee and asylee entry. Next is ending OPT, and a formal end to birthright citizenship, when SCOTUS rules.

President Trump's proclamation raising the fee on H-1Bs by 200x will hardest hit new applicants, the pending and those who are subject to reapplying after losing their spot.

This proclamation furthermore mandates a revision to boost the wage floor, thereby filtering out low-paid, low-skill foreigners, and it states the Secretary of State has the authority to review fraud, misconduct, unfit or otherwise unwanted visas prior to 2026.

Upon extension this creates groundwork to restrict and reshape the H-1B program as is, since ending it needs an Act of Congress.

It makes sense that someone who already has an H-1B visa is not paying the fee; they are not applying for one, since they already have one. What this proclamation does say is that it will restrict the entry of applicants, raise the wage floor, and review all holders.

That said, they should charge ones here with a fee anyways, just for being here.

All three of these are bad corrections. At the very least we need a renewal fee and a yearly income charge for any current ones.

Trump's first term has the highest ever visa denial rate on record, until courts around the country in 2019 began stalling his ability to reject them all. His latest proclamation to restrict noncitizen workers states ‘Sec State will prevent misuse, etc. of H-1B visas pre-2026’, e.g. current ones.

Every year over 100,000 H-1Bs apply for renewal, we need to build up the case to mass deny them until few remain.

This is correct in that the greater Indian nepo-network will be disrupted; H-1B will hit a sharp decline. That acknowledged, everyone should, in good faith—not 'fell for it again' or gay hysterics—make it very known that we support harsher measures.

It's important to remember that this is the most responsive admin in history. When we were concerned over the notion of amnesty, they replied that there will never be amnesty. When we faced rising tensions with Iran, they replied that there will be no war with Iran. When Iryna Zarutska was murdered, the President and all the White House spoke up for her.

Bad faith actors, influencers and their toys will use every setback to imply it's over or the admin doesn't care. That's what those types want, not what is actually happening. We cannot throw away the opportunity we have to communicate and cultivate the results we want, otherwise we'll have wasted time and accomplished nothing like the right has done for the past 100 years.

All roads lead to demographic correction, even if there are swerves along the way. This administration has taken steps which in months have begun to undo decades.

A few key August and September policies which will impact legal immigration, adding to the recent H-1B order for new applicants that disrupts the indian nepotism-network and will raise the minimum allowed wages.

Trump is detaining migrants for longer and at a larger volume than ever before, despite judges attempting to block him.

‘Whether you've overstayed 25 minutes or lived here 25 years, you will be detained.’

A DHS rule to restrict student, exchange and journalist visas to strict time limits is pending finalisation for October. The DHS is requesting comments from you on this policy until September 29th: submit here if you would like to provide input or support.

Effective October 6th USCIS will have its own law enforcement agents, who can be armed, that will issue and execute warrants to arrest immigrants for violating the law or becoming inadmissable and unfit.

USCIS has never had this authority before, or personally arrested legal migrants. This expands our mass detain and deport plan by putting less strain on ICE and CBP alone. Your reports will be invaluable for their job.

Over 100,000 people, a crowd as big as or larger than the funerals of JFK and MLK Jr., are attending Charlie Kirk's memorial service. The crowd here is overwhelmingly young, entirely American and energetic. As many as 3 million are watching live online.

President Trump has inflicted ‘trauma’ upon hundreds of thousands of indians, causing confusion amongst migrant lawyers, businesses and immigrants with his recent restrictive H-1B proclamation.

Representatives and firms say the changes will ‘devastate dreams of foreigners’ if it is upheld, or worse, extended and expanded.
In other words, this is an excellent start.

‘I'm regretting the choices I've made in life. I gave the prime of my youth working for this country, now I feel like I'm not wanted’

Thousands of indians scrambled to airports, wasting thousands of dollars trying to get back to America, only to learn the deadline was for new visas, not current ones—yet. Some H-1Bs consider giving up on the U.S.
