Trumpâs $100K Visa Tax: Silicon Valleyâs Newest Health Plan!
In a dazzling move on September 19, 2025, President Donald Trump decided that Silicon Valleyâs H-1B visa holders should pay $100,000 a year for the pleasure of working in tech he doesnât like. Amazon hires a whopping 14,000 of these 'valuable aliens,' with Google, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, and Tata Consultancy also flying in thousands on these golden tickets. Microsoft and Amazon sent secret memos urging visa holders stuck abroad to sprint back before midnight, hopefully faster than their GDPR compliance! Meanwhile, the Trump admin unveiled a 'gold card' visa, demanding a $1,000,000 upfront gift (or double if a company sponsors you) claiming itâs about 'top, top people'âcode for moneybags over merit. With a national debt of $37 trillion and a $2 trillion 2025 deficit, taxpayers might want to buy popcorn for this comedy instead of housing.

Why stop at $100K visas? Next up: Silicon Valley membership fees to attend meetings no one wants to be in. Microsoft telling employees 'donât leave the country' sounds less like work advice and more like a hostage note.
Trump introduces a luxury visa for billionaires: pay $1 million, skip the talent. Immigrants struggling to pay H-1B fees? Just sell a kidney! Or better yet, maybe an Apple stock or two.
