“Unlawful tax”
Should be $100,000 multiplied by the pay & compensation gap between the lowest person and the highest person at the company.
So a $9 million CEO and a $30,000 janitor is a 300x difference, so that company would pay $30,000,000 for a visa. THAT would show you actually need someone badly enough to tell tens of thousands of qualified Americans to fuck off.
In any case, whatever the scheme is, it should be voted upon by our Congressional representatives in Congress and enacted by Congress, and signed into law by the President. That is how the H1-B visa was created in the first place, and that is how taxes are raised in this country: with representation.
I feel likr companies will just fire janitors and hire contractors instead so it won’t count
