What this man doesn't understand, anyone with 100k Dollars will never waste that huge amount of money to seek a job in the USA. It's not possible.
That's what he want so jobs can stay in his country

He wants US companies to employ US citizens 1st and if they want to employ foreigners they have to pay more indirectly cos the foreigner will pay more for his work visa and if he's being sponsored then the company pays for his visa.

It's a strategic policy not out of malice.

Indians shouldn't come and take US high paying jobs for free. undecided
Americans are crying that the immigrants are taking their jobs, the immigrants with MSc and PhD with post Doc , in IT, Quantum physics, Cybersecurity, Data Science and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, and Web and Mobile App Development, etc, taking the job of lazy and uneducated Americans. How does that resonance? Average Americans are lacking in problem solving skills, critical thinking, to add it up, they are lacking in Mathematical skill. Yet they're crying that immigrants are taking their jobs. The America companies employ base on merits.

Nigerians should now concentrate on Nigeria, and Discussions on JAPA outside Nigeria should be suspended
Nigerians will now hold their corrupt and clueless politicians accountable

So you dont know that the opportunities America presents especially to immigrants no other country presents such. Except for Trump now that is showing then Shege.

I don't understand. How do people travelling to America for work make the world a better place? If your skills were so wonderful, you should use it for your own country, that's the coco

You guys just type without thinking.
Why do you think you are wiser than the people making these policies?
You think you are more educated than them or you know their country better than they do?
Just because these policies won't favour you, you think America is going down? How unintelligible you are!

What they are asking those companies to do is to employ or train their citizens ...consider citizens first!...
Your likes would defend Nigeria govt policies of indigenization of contracts, yet criticizing the US for the same policy

America will grow more as a result of these actions
The best you could do is to find a way to encourage your country govt to adopt the same measures to protect its citizens jobs

The US is shooting itself in the foot here. At a time when China and India are positioning themselves to dominate, the US decides to shut the door on the large pool of talent it needs to stay competitive. Anyways, that's their loss.

All American are not dumb and all Asian are not smart. However while trump wants the best hands he also has a duty to not only protect jobs for American citizens but developed American citizens to be the best hence thus new policy. It does Barr foreign workers but raises the standards and revenue from theses foreign hands so its a win win situation.

Bit by bit, this man is wrecking America and nobody wants to get the Congress to stop him. By the time he has spent 4 years in office, all attention will move to China because those guys will define the future.
Someone is giving you the requirements for coming to his county but you say he is wrecking his country. Why are you bitter?
America was not being wrecked when Biden let in millions of criminals but now someone has the good sense to clean up after Biden, you claim that it is wrecked.
Please compare the US economy with France, Canada, UK, the EU, China and let's discuss which countries are being wrecked.

The comment you quoted has nothing to do with Nigeria. I'm writing about global attention. The founders of all big US companies investing in China don't speak English, yet they have businesses worth billions of dollars in China.

By the time Donald Trump is done dealing with America, every reasonable investor in America will pull their businesses out of the country.

It has already started happening, but the guy is too blind to see it. A country that used to create over 300k jobs every month is now creating 22k jobs. Donald Trump is America's nemesis.
I can bet you have never owned a business.
If you have, answer this, would you pull your business out of the worlds biggest consumer?
Since Trump's return every major tech company, nations from UK to the gulf states have committed to investing hundreds of billions into the US economy. Apple will begin to produce hardware in the US.
So you are wrong. These companies are not running away.
Now to the Job reports, we are just learning that Biden's jobs was a mirage. About a million of these jobs did not exist.
So there was the Job crisis before a trump came to power. Again , we know and understand why very few jobs are being created. The US has very low unemployment and it is purging itself of illegals so this remains a transition period. Let's have this jobs argument in a years time.

read slowly again… The policies are not designed to target only Nigerians,In fact, Nigerians are not even among the top migrants to the USA, so trying to make it seem like a Nigerian issue is nonsense.
Re: Trump Increases US Visa Fee For Skilled Workers By $100,000 by Wimkeh(m): 12:00pm On Sep 21, 2025
One thing I notice is that democrats want a world that is dependent on the USA for everything. But Trump want a world where America is not the center of anything. I think that the left is really obessed with power and control, but it's hard to see because they mask it under empathy, transright, etc.
Reference:
Exactly. Stay in your country and grow it to becoming powerful and prosperous. Then you will become useful to yourself and useful to America.

I think Trump wants a more prosperous and diverse world. A world where a Ukraine is able to defend itself, where Europe is able to chart its own course without depending on US might. Where a Nigeria is able to care for its people's health, education and prosperity.

Because when you are prosperous you are ble to trade properly with the US and prosper the U S even more.

I think folks in the US are beginning to see the limitations of a unipolar world where it has led for so long, sucked so much virtue from other nations that the world has become unfertile to its ideals, it has started to rot from within.

It is the same destructive principle of monopolies in economies. One becomes too big at the expense of others, feeding off them. When the others die off the monopolist starves itself to death.

That you do not know how it affects Nigerians is not a problem but try and see it from others' perspective.

About half of my graduating class travelled abroad with this visa. I'm working and grinding everyday for this visa. That you only know the education route doesn't mean a large number of Nigerians are not affected by this.

It doesn't matter who it's targeted at, this decision has real consequences on us. One of the most disheartening things is coming online to see people with little knowledge of a subject being the loudest.

Let all those who support irresponsible government in Nigeria because of tribalism only to run back to America can now stay back in Nigeria and enjoy the useless president or government that they supported.

No more America .

Your post suggest you dont know what H1B visas are for in the first place. It's a visa that allow professional that cannot be easily found in America to work for certain companies, in specialized fields. H1B visas holder built Silicon Valley and all these mega tech companies you see in America today.
ICE arrested, humiliated 300 South Koreans working to build battery factory in Atlanta 2 weeks ago. Those guys were deported and the work stopped on the factory cos Americans does not have the skill and the technical know-how to build such factory and the 8600 the factory suppose to provide for Americans is now on hold. Now, even Trump is begging the South Koreans to return and non want to have anything to do with America.












bjdon:
Excellent move. Let every country develop their economics. US should give priority to US workers. I love what Trump is doing, in the long term countries will be forced to focus on internal development as the option of 'running to America' will no longer be viable

1. I'm not crying. I quoted your inaccurate response to a comment. You're way less informed on the subject.

2. You're also way less informed on immigration policies across the west. There are hurdles everywhere now compared to what it used to be.

3. There is no fuss. I don't know what you're talking about.

Is nothing for does who still want to go. If I have the money I will pay and go and work. In less that one year, I will recover the 150M with good health care and work environment. The goal is not for me, but for my children.
How will you recover 150m in 1 year?
