85 people have paid the $100,000 H-1B fee so far, totaling $8.5 million in revenue. But fee revenue from H-1B apps abroad is down $28 million.
So the fee — justified by a paper claiming the revenue-maximizing fee was >$100,000! — appears to have lost the government $20 million.
Screenshot:
7. The decline in the number of H-1B petitions (not subject to the cap) requesting consulate notification between September 21, 2024, through February 15, 2025, as compared to September 21, 2025, through February 15, 2026, represented a decline of approximately $28 million in fees collected by USCIS, far greater than the $8.5 million in Proclamation payments collected between September 21, 2025, through February 15, 2026.

This article is a clinic in press collusion wth the powerful. We have no idea who is running this up Politco's flagpole or why. At the same time Politico gets more eyes and attention at the expense of diluting the impact of more crediblely sources reporting.

I speak from experience Palantir software sucks. There is a reason their primary customer is the US Government. The govt. can be, and is, bribed.

This marries up well with the intellectual development of the average Trump voter, which sadly is still far to close to the average American.

This is why the Regime's overall approval rating never dips below 40%: the coterie of conservative pollsters who keep cooking the books in favor of the most unpopular POTUS since Hoover. Hence Iran. Killing people who don't believe in Jesus makes Red Necks happy.

I always knew this presidency was going to be about privatizing public assets, but I thought there'd be more companies involved than Trump INC. This Whitehouse is totally for sale and some Trump or friend of Trump is getting real rich off of of this cluster in Iran.

How long before we find out who is getting rich off this idiot war. The White House and this country are for sale and that's why we're in Iran.

The only option Netanyahu and Trump is to start killing Iranians wholesale. And if Gaza is any indicator, the Iranian dead will far exceed Gaza.

With Israel obviously the lead agency in this attack on Iran, is there any reason not to think hundreds of thousands of Iranian will be killed.

Thank you Congresswoman Stansbury, for never letting this go. It doubtless leads to the same criminal enterprise that is right now putting it's finger on the US policy scale in this idiot invasion of Iran.
