You've likely seen the new $100,000 penalty on high-skill immigrant workers. Here's the next, separate bomb the White House is dropping on high skill immigration, to be officially published *tomorrow*. tl;dr: Most H-1Bs now inaccessible for entry-level jobs, e.g. new grads from US universities.

It’s astonishing how we’ve rapidly devolved and it’s now an accepted fact that we’re no longer governed by the rule of law. Basically none of these ways of “inflicting pain” would apply in a functioning democracy.

In just three months, with no external shocks, economic forecasters have gone from predicting that the U.S. economy would continue to deliver ongoing growth, to predicting a quite weak (and possibly recessionary) economy.
