True, many don't appreciate the power of a US Visa. Think of "FU money" in USA, only to find out that the stock you had your money in has crashed.

going to comment on my own submission: it's hard to underestimate the damage done to these people. Leaving aside the life /torture/death cases, and just assuming that they are regular immigrants: They have sold everything they own and probably gone heavily in debt to finance the trip....to essentially paradise. And now?

Why take the chance when you're about to have a lot of IPO cash? Go with Google for a few years until you (hopefully) become FB. Right now they'll focus on features, signing advertisers and users.

Maybe allow for waivers, capped at xxx a year, for these essential but not high paying jobs?

US Tech: We need the brightest blah blah ...

US Gov: Fine, Big Co with $15b in yearly profits, if he's so bright then pay him at least $150K a year. If he's not worth that much then he's not that special.

He did bomb Muslims BUT not because they were Muslims. Get the difference? Trump has said many times he wants to ban Muslims from the USA, even that Muslim with a MIT PHD.

Only on Google cache since he removed it:

"December 07, 2015 - ​Donald J. Trump Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration

(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump"

OK, I got it. But how much can the top person get? Maybe the company doing the math /sending checks takes $1.5 million.

In short, it's a scam, like most lawsuit settlements. The lawyers get rich, the state gets some fines and the company admits no wrongdoing and does it again and again.
