Besides being totally crazy, this vid shows the power of semiotics. It’s a glaring example of what semiology is all about. The girl, the uniform, his gait, the flag, the voices. ABN
I like the way she speaks directly and definitely without resorting to weak rhetorical questions with obvious answers which often sound feeble or supplicating.
A strong tone can be spoken gently and convey meaning and purpose with great clarity while leaving zero doubt about what the issue is or what the speaker wants.
This is the way we should all speak about the decline of Western civilization and its peoples. ABN
‘The UN is creating the number one problem of our time. The crisis of uncontrolled migration. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.’ — Trump [at 23:48]
1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.
2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.
H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.
3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.
It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.
This is a structural kill shot disguised as moderation – not a walk-back.
Trump’s team knew if they slammed existing holders immediately, the courts, corporations, and universities would swarm them with injunctions and sob stories about disruption.
So they carved out the stock, left it untouched, but put a noose around the flow. That’s the actual pipeline that kept Silicon Valley, outsourcing shops, and Indian IT mills running. Kill the flow, the stock ages out, and the model dies in slow motion.
Think of it like choking off oxygen. The body (existing H-1Bs) keeps moving for a while, but without new supply, the system collapses from within.
The real mask-off implication:
•For American labor: This is the first time in decades the cost arbitrage model has been structurally dismantled. Over the next 2–3 years, wages at the bottom tier of STEM jobs will rise, not because of “free markets,” but because the cheap labor conveyor belt is being dismantled.
•For Indian IT giants: Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant – their stock reactions already show it. Their business model is fundamentally impaired. They can’t win contracts undercutting wages without cheap visa inflows.
•For universities: The H-1B system was a backdoor subsidy to pump STEM enrollments. If the exit pipeline is shut down, the entire higher-ed incentive structure breaks. That’s a slow bleed, but it’s lethal.
•For markets: The knee-jerk calm (“oh, existing holders are safe”) is a misread. This isn’t about the next quarter. It’s about rewiring the labor supply chain. That’s far more radical.
Trump just set a fuse that detonates the 30-year experiment of outsourcing America’s brain. It won’t look explosive at first, it’ll look like a slow policy tweak. But in 12–24 months, it creates a reflexive cascade: higher wages, corporate reshoring pressure, offshoring taxes, universities losing demand, and foreign IT stocks structurally repriced down.
US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign a proclamation on Friday that would impose a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, in one of the most sweeping overhauls yet of the program central to the US technology industry, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The proclamation will restrict entry under the H-1B system unless employers pay the new charge, with the administration arguing the visa has been exploited to push Americans out of jobs, Bloomberg reported citing a White House official.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the development on X, posting a link to the Bloomberg report, with a caption headlined ‘Trump to Add New $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas in Latest Crackdown.’
Better to raise the fee to $500,000–$1,000,000 or more. This seems like a good way to control Big Tech sleaze in hiring. ABN
UPDATE: The fee is $100,00 per year, which sounds good to me. I had thought it was a one-time payment when I wrote the above. This looks like a great move and is a simple way to control H-1B without a slew of new regulations. ABN
UPDATE: Anti-immigration is spreading across the first world. The sooner the better because waiting only makes it worse.
For readers who understand FIML, it should at some point become very clear that all people everywhere live mentally inside psycholinguistic cages and have essentially no way to escape except to crawl into yet another psycholinguistic cage.
It is ultimately this massive flaw in human language processing that will lead to societal chaos and civil wars.
The people in Japan opposing the importation of another kind of people trapped in an alien psycholinguistic (and semiotic) cage are right. They may not fully understand why, but they are protecting Japan against the gradual and inevitable annihilation the West is now experiencing.
It’s still not too late for the West, but the hour is late. ABN
