Are we cooked (intl students)

I think u all read the news : "WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation that will require a new annual $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, among other changes to the program for highly skilled foreign workers that has come under scrutiny by the administration." are we cooked ?

Americans want this. 80/20 issue.  I'd be surprised if even the ACLU led the charge here. 

The plaintiff on this lawsuit will be enemy #1.

The immigrants you’re referring to got off the boat likely fought in a war, performed grueling manual labor to survive, were treated like crap and then built the US or raised the people that did. If they ventured west they tamed unknown land and likely found themselves in very violent negotiations between the government and the natives. Those immigrants are the ones whose children are now casting votes for them to be able to have a shot at life.

The immigrants this is impacting are getting on a plane to maximize their earnings potential. It’s in no way a reasonable comparison.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
 

These comebacks are almost hilarious at this point.  Learn from the Chinese and Koreans and keep your head down before they send you back do delhi or gurgaon.  This isn't a BJP rally pall, screaming like a chimpanzee won't get you anywhere.  

Apologies in advance if you aren't an Indian H1-B.  You can ignore my insult.
