Doesn’t seem fair to the companies that employ these people. It’s obviously a hidden tax on large tech companies like x and Tesla that hire a lot of global talent.

I think a bigger tax on small companies. I worked on one where the co-founder was an h1b. That company grew to employ about a thousand people. It's job creation.. that would not have happened when the company was young with this tax.

Meanwhile, big tech is sitting on piles of money. I think startups and scale ups will suffer a lot here.

Doesn't seem fair to the citizens that live here. We should be taxing companies that have international leverage more.

		I hope your next potential employer rescinds the job offer 2 days before your start date, maybe that will make it clear to you why some of us think this is unfair.
