Trump administration moves to overhaul H-1B visa system

The Department of Homeland Security is replacing its lottery system for H-1B visas with a new approach prioritizing skilled, higher-paid foreign workers. The change follows actions by the Trump administration to reshape the visa program. Critics say it has been a pipeline for overseas workers willing to work for lower pay. A press release Tuesday says the new system will increase the probability that visas go to higher-skilled workers. It will go into effect February 27, 2026. Supporters say the program drives innovation and growth, while critics argue it often fills entry-level positions.

In what I think of as the best tradition of #IrishRepublicanism, there is an empathy for exploited and subjugated people around the world because of the history of British colonial rule in #Ireland.

In the USA this sometimes morphs into the belief that, because of things like #IndenturedServitude, the #Irish in America had it just as bad as #BlackPeople so #IrishAmericans do not have to think of themselves as having benefited from #WhitePrivilege.

#Capitalism for the #PamperedSUVclass

#IndenturedServitude #Feudalism and outright #Slavery for the rest of us.

And so it goes.

I'm amazed no one else has ever tried it... Ever!
