There are major changes coming to H-1B. If I were dependent on it either as a worker or employer, I would start making contingency plans immediately. The Trump admin and its core constituency are most united on immigration issues, so the political will is there. Any nascent challenge to that will has been utterly crushed in my view as MAGA decisively won the past week's debate on X against the Musk/Vivek libertarian contingent. Beyond the emerging consensus on the Right though is how well anti H-1B messaging plays with the Left. And the existential H-1B threat to the white collar worker means that influential segment of society will be rooting for its downfall, some more loudly and more conspicuously than others.

Overall a perfect storm of political consensus and will. The cherry on top is the ease with which the program can be curtailed or limited. It's not like solving healthcare... All of this points to major immediate action.
