Immigration Policy Changes - The President is considering additional immigration restrictions, potentially including a "permanent pause" on migration from "third world countries" [1] - Immediate actions are expected, potentially a temporary freeze, followed by a more nuanced, case-by-case review [3][4] - Congress has ultimate authority over immigration policy and coordination is expected [6] Potential Impacts - The Afghan community in the United States, especially those who arrived since 2021, may feel threatened [5] - Mass deportations are unlikely, as the administration claims to have already stopped illegal immigration [7][8] - Reviews will likely find that most immigrants do not have criminal records and are not a threat [9] Economic Considerations - Restrictions on H-1B visas and refugee admissions can disrupt companies relying on skilled foreign workers [10][11][12] - Companies may face challenges in finding talent and managing their businesses [11][12]

RT Theo Wold (@RealTheoWold)Lost in the conversation about H-1B visas is an arguably more sinister program that President Trump could end by executive order: The Optional Practical Training (OPT) program.OPT gives work authorization to foreign students on F-1 visas that allows them to work entry level jobs in the U.S. for 1-3 years after they graduate. Like the H-1B visa, most of its recipients come from India and China, and work in STEM fields.Even more insane is that OPT recipients are exempt from payroll ...

RT James Fishback (@j_fishback)70% of recent college grads aren’t working in their field. Why? Companies like Amazon fire Americans, import H-1Bs from India, then claim our people aren’t smart enough. It’s a slanderous lie. Americans are the brightest, hardest working, hungriest people on earth. https://t.co/6fl4KDC4Ta ...

RT AF Post (@AFpost)The unemployment rate for US college graduates is now 9.3%, higher than a peak of 8.7% during the 2008 Great Financial Crisis.This year, the US approved around 200,000 H-1B visas.Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/LIQY9cFeLH ...

RT William Branson Donahue (@realwilldonahue)Ridiculous. 2.14 million students graduated with bachelor’s in 2024. BLS reported ONLY 868k were employed by Oct 2024. We simultaneously approved 399,395 H-1B visas.So while 60% of Gen Z couldn’t find jobs, 399,395 foreigners took jobs from 1,272,000 Americans. And you wonder why Gen Z is revolting while we’re offered 50 year mortgages. END H-1B VISAS. ...

RT U.S. Tech Workers (@USTechWorkers)It’s great that there’s been so much attention on H-1B visas, but equal focus should be given to another real job-killer for new American grads — the OPT program. There are no caps, and approvals keep growing: nearly 400,000 work permits were issued in 2024 alone!Congress never created the OPT program — it was made entirely through administrative regulation. That means the Trump administration could end it, or at least reverse Obama’s STEM 3-year work permit rule back to ...
