TARIFF FOREIGN LABOR FOR WORKER EQUITY
THE H1B FEE PLAN
We tariff foreign cars 100% to protect Detroit. But foreign labor? Just $3k. That's how you kill the middle class.
Here's how I fix it: Tariff foreign labor just like we do steel, EVs, and aluminum.
THE PROBLEM
GLOBALIZATION RIGS THE SYSTEM
Tariffs shield products but not people, displacing workers and inflating costs. American workers compete with foreign labor that costs 20-30% less.
- WAGE SUPPRESSION
H1B workers often cost 20-30% below market wages, suppressing American worker salaries across entire industries.
Result: American workers displaced, wages suppressed
- OUTSOURCING GIANTS
Companies like Infosys and Tata use H1B visas to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor.
Result: American jobs shipped overseas
- SHELL COMPANY FRAUD
Lottery abuse and shell companies game the system, while qualified American workers are rejected.
Result: System rigged against Americans
THE SOLUTION
TARIFF FOREIGN LABOR FOR WORKER EQUITY
Just as we tariff foreign goods to protect American industry, we must tariff foreign labor to protect American workers and fund American education.
THE FEE STRUCTURE
DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF COSTS
Under my plan, companies pay upfront for the privilege of hiring foreign workers instead of Americans. All funds go directly to the American Reeducation Fund.
LCA FEES
- •$15,000 for first LCAInitial Labor Condition Application fee
- •$1,000 for each additional LCASubsequent applications from same company
- •$10,000 H-1B visa feeWhen H1B is granted (paid upfront)
WAGE TARIFF
- •20% of higher wagePrevailing wage OR actual wage, whichever is higher
- •Multiplied by 3 yearsTypical H1B approval period
- •$10,000 H4 visa feeFor each dependent spouse visa granted
EXAMPLE 1: $100K ROLE
EXAMPLE 2: $150K ROLE
TOTAL COST PER H1B WORKER
$95,000 - $125,000
Based on typical H1B wage ranges of $100k-$150k
ALL FUNDS GO TO AMERICAN REEDUCATION FUND
REVENUE IMPACT
$40+ BILLION ANNUALLY
From approximately 400,000 H1B approvals annually, we generate enough revenue to fund the American Reeducation Fund and create homegrown talent to replace H1B workers.
- $40B+ ANNUALLY
New revenue from comprehensive H1B tariffs, replacing the current $3,000 fee with $95k-$125k per worker.
All funds to American Reeducation Fund
- 1:1 REPLACEMENT
Since H1B terms are generally 3 years, we can train 1 American worker for every H1B worker with this funding.
Create qualified American replacements
- HOMEGROWN TALENT
Fund American education and training programs to create the skilled workforce needed to replace foreign workers.
End dependency on foreign labor

ENFORCEMENT & ALTERNATIVES
AMERICA IS THE MARKET
If companies want access to our workforce, housing, and economy, they can damn well pay for it.
ENFORCEMENT MEASURES
- •Ban H1B abusersOutsourcers like Infosys/Tata permanently banned
- •Escalate fees for extensionsHigher costs for renewals and extensions
- •Mandate "hire locals first" proofRequire evidence of American hiring attempts
ALTERNATIVE MEASURES
- •Tax remittances 10-15%Tax money sent overseas by foreign workers
- •25-50% tariffs on offshore servicesTax companies that move operations overseas
- •25%+ tariffs on imports/licensesFor companies that relocate for foreign talent
NO BANS. JUST BALANCE.
BECAUSE AMERICAN JOBS DESERVE AMERICAN PROTECTION
This isn't anti-immigrant—it's pro-worker. We're fostering self-sufficiency, boosting wages, and recycling revenue into domestic skills.
