However, being more exact with the question I originally had, the white house youtube video, which had trump + friends speaking and signing the order, painted the picture as "100k per H1B per year for the first 6 years".
But the order as written has something completely different.
It says the companies have to pay 100k at time of getting the visa. Doesn't mention per year or 6 years.
And this whole order expires in 12 months, unless it's extended.
And they can exempt industries or whole companies if it's important to national interest.
This difference made me think that this is just optics for what was a concern for a majority of his voter base, and that in practice, they will not extend it beyond 1 year, and also exempt big industries like tech and what not. Maybe have apple do a performative hire of few americans, similar to the performative factory investments the government gloats about [1].
Was curious what you thought about that?
Of course, the media houses have their own alternate reality going on, and the less said about twitter the better.
[1] I don't at all intend to say that all american hires and all factory investments are performative
