It seems like some fee is a good thing. Small time venues should hire small time local musicians. We don’t need to import more starving artists, because that pie is sliced pretty thinly already.

How high the barrier should be is debatable, but $1615 seems too high. That’s a ton of money for a large ensemble.

Most egregious to me is the several month waiting time. When we allow anyone and everyone to enter via the southern border, fly them wherever they want to go within the country for free, and provide resources at their destination, that same administration is going to have some elaborate screening process for touring guitar players? What a sick joke.
