I think he will likely increase the minimum salary bar for IT professionals to qualify for H1 from the current $60k to potentially over $100k. That will wreck a lot Indian IT companies business models where currently it is a price arbitrage game.

You say he will do this, and he will do that. It is very odd how the administration puts out so many contradictory messages that people from all different viewpoints and political leanings make confident conflicting assertions about what will happen. But, when you look at the actual things that are implemented by the administration it is just straight up cruelty and class warfare.

Sounds fishy, but would it be possible that the increase in salary would still end up coming from the pocket of the "employer"? Like some sort of "kickback" employee has to pay per year to a shell agency for recruiting kindof thing.

It's more likely we'll see a reduction in benefits like company health insurance or bonuses to offset a rise in salary. It won't get you from 60k to 100k, but I can see how one might squeeze out 15-20k from this.
