Stop lies, what is collapsing America? Bro I'm a big lover of USA but Trump is making things hard for non-immigrant to get in, it'll affect me as well but all Trump is trying to do is to protect his country, if his country is destroyed by extremist they won't have another country while immigrants can always go back to their country.
You didn't watch the video that you were asked to watch and jumped to conclusion. That's why you people don't learn in this country.

Trump is imposing huge tariffs (or whatever it's called) on everyone wishing to visit America which discourages tourists from visiting the country. America is the most popular country in the world and almost everywhere wants to visit there in their lifetime because their movies, music, technology, etc. promote the country as a country that you need to visit in your lifetime.

When the government imposes taxes on tourists coming to spend their hard-earned money in your country, you are discouraging them. They will look for alternatives.

Watch that video and see the comments section. You will see people from all over the world (not even Africans) saying that they cancelled their trips to America because of Trump. Then, you will see people from other countries begging them to visit their countries.

Well, it has been signed by Trump as an executive order. What were you saying about the courts?

This guy will kuku finish American las las. I doubt if Trump won’t visit jail after the end of his tenure. The whole world is watching.

By the way, all these actions of his are indirectly giving out a blessing in disguise treatment of not to depend on the American dreams anymore, and this makes America influence over the world grow weaker day by day. With the likes of China, Russia, North Korea, Canada, France even India, etc are now calling his bluff. I can’t wait to see the fall of America under Trump, the destruction and fall of the US dollars.
Visit jail because he put his country first instead of you?
You will enjoy the fruit of your labour here in naija, and your descendants to the 10th generations will too.

The only problem that America has now is that they voted for the wrong president. I hope he doesn't finish in 4 years what they built for over 200 years. If Biden had run for that election, Trump knew he wouldn't have won.
Quite the contrary, virtually all counties increased their vote share for him in 2024 compared to 2020. In fact, he won a county in Texas that had not voted for a Republican since 1892. By 2023, polls already showed a decrease in Black Democratic voters, so it was unsurprising he received the highest percentage of Black voters for a Republican in over 60 years.

Many Americans believe the 2024 election was consequential and don’t think anyone else could perform better than Trump. The investments he has secured in just under a year are more than those Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama secured combined.

He disrupted and broke the Democratic Party. He promised and If he continues delivering results at this pace, the Democratic Party will continue losing voters and, consequently, will struggle to win a U.S. presidential election for at least the next 16 years.

Why's Trump making such decisions? You think he never thought of it? They also have to protect their jobs as well because there are over 7million unemployed USA citizens in the US, companies brings in immigrants in other to get cheap labor. Look the USA was a very respected country because it was likely everyone's dream country but as they now have access to it see finish enter, to the point or raising Islamic flag in the US forgetting 9/11. The truth is the government are not doing things to hurt her citizens only people from other countries are complaining unlike Nigeria that inflict pains directly to her citizens.

Companies in the US employs cheap labor from Africa and Asia causing job loss in the USA. There are over 7 million unemployed citizens in the country because nonimmigrant does the job even better with lower pay. Also, H1B visa is a partway to permanent resident which some religion extremist have used this path.

America is NOT overrated. Nigerians go to a country where they can get opportunities (good jobs). No country in this world has good paying jobs like America...not one!

There are some tech companies in America that pay their software engineers up to $500k per annum. No company will pay you that salary anywhere in the world.

America understands that research and innovation will keep them ahead. So, companies, government institutions and HNIs are ready to finance research to stay ahead. That's why everyone turns to America whenever there's a global problem and America has the world's best universities because no country in this world funds research like America. That's why they are attracting the most talented people from around the world.

They have successfully created a $30 trillion economy, the biggest in the world. China's economy is still about $19 trillion after all the noise that China will take over for decades now.

America is not overrated. The only problem that America has now is that they voted for the wrong president. I hope he doesn't finish in 4 years what they built for over 200 years. If Biden had run for that election, Trump knew he wouldn't have won.
America is overrated, China is far more better and advanced than America.

What kind of rubbish is this?

Unemployment in US has always hovered around 4% until Cheeto Mussolini got into office.

Regardless, H1B visas are for highly skilled workers, not people picking strawberries.

By the way, would charging 100k stop 'extremists" from getting in?

Spouting the same racist trope as Charlie Kirk.

Settlers are immigrants and immigrants are settlers.

Both parties migrate to a place and settle there.

Ignorance is terrible. You just don’t know what America is!

America is not even rated enough.

If only you knew 5% of what you should have known, you won’t compare those countries you mentioned with the quality of life America can offer.

Just like tariffs are not in the executives purview, immigration charges aren't.

If it isn't challenged, it would hold sway otherwise it would be thrown out by the courts when brought before it.

H1 visa holders are not classified as cheap labour, these are individuals with specialised skills that a lot of Americans does not have.

Talking about religious extremist.. can you tell me how many Americans that have been killed by religious extremists on skilled visa compared to those killed by White Americans?

India was the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas last year, accounting for 71% of approved beneficiaries, while China was a distant second at 11.7%, according to government data.

This people want to populate America?
The funny thing is muslim immigration to America is very little yet their hate is on Muslims with lies that Muslims want to take over. All ice raids for deportation has impacted negligible number of Muslims. 99% of immigration to US is by Christians and Hindus and Chinese not Arabs.

Trump's order is due to come into force on 21 September. It would only apply to new requests, but companies would have to pay the same amount for each applicant for six years, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.

"The company needs to decide... is the person valuable enough to have a $100,000-a-year payment to the government, or they should head home, and they should go hire an American," he said, adding: "All of the big companies are on board."

Since 2004, the number of H-1B applications has been capped at 85,000 per year.

Until now, H-1B visas have carried various administrative fees totalling around $1,500.
