Something big just happened, and it didn’t come with some fancy press conference, or a victory lap, or a media circus. It went down very quietly, but according to reports, it’s official.

While the fake news was busy looking the other way, the Department of Homeland Security finalized a major rewrite of the H-1B visa lottery. It hasn’t even hit the Federal Register yet, but the rule is a done deal.

And the timing is very deliberate.

This comes very soon after Americans found out that the foreign national who assassinated a young conservative girl at Brown University was in the country through another awful immigration lottery program – the Visa Diversity Lotto. Once again, violence collided with immigration policy, and it revealed that the system is sloppy, unaccountable, and more dangerous than ever.

Team Trump noticed. And they moved on that issue as well.

When the assassination of Ella Cook first happened, the details came out slowly. We reported on what went down and how Trump made a quick move.

Revolver:

After a conservative by the name of Ella Cook was assassinated at Brown University, the details didn’t just trickle out. They had to be dragged into the light, thanks to the woke officials who were overseeing the case.

What authorities are now confirming raises questions the media clearly hoped wouldn’t be an issue, starting with who the shooter was and how he got here and why certain facts were slow-walked.

As police began publicly identifying the suspect, the story immediately became more complicated than many in the media were prepared to deal with. The Providence, Rhode Island, Chief of Police confirmed the identity of the Brown University shooter, along with several details that changed how this case should be understood.

The killer was a foreign national… an immigrant student who was found dead by suicide before a motive could ever be fully examined. And, of course, the left-wing-run institutions had every reason to keep this story as quiet and as shadowy as possible.

But now that some of the facts are finding their way out, Americans are noticing a pattern. When violence and immigration clash, the press hesitates and gets nervous. And when accountability threatens powerful institutions, like Brown University, the narrative gets soft and wishy-washy.

But this case didn’t disappear. And neither have the questions.

Within days of the assassination of Ella Cook, President Trump addressed the part of this story that nobody in the Swamp wants to talk about. He’s suspending the Visa Lottery program, effective immediately.Here’s the X post we’ll use word for word. We’ll need a strong, natural segue into this, and a good intro that gives the reader a summary of what’s happened…

That case exposed something the fake news hates dealing with: immigration programs and violence. Especially violence that can’t be blamed on the “right people.” Facts get slow-walked, and institutions circle the wagons and close ranks.

But the days of left-wing media setting tone and policy are over.

Yes, President Trump suspended the disastrous Visa Lottery program and is going through it with a fine-tooth comb. But another immigration lottery program is also getting some big changes.

Behind the scenes, DHS just finished a rewrite of the H-1B lottery itself. It’s a total structural overhaul that quietly admits what Americans have been saying for years… the program is a mess and is being abused by everybody and their foreign brother.

The good news is that now, the H-1B lottery is no longer random. Instead of every applicant being thrown into the same bucket, the system now heavily favors higher wages. Employers offering top-tier salaries get way better odds, while entry-level and low-wage roles are pushed to the back of the bus.

Employers also have to put real information on the table up front, including wage levels, job classifications, and work locations, and those details have to match later filings exactly. DHS is also giving itself clearer authority to deny or revoke visas if it believes companies are gaming the system.

Speaking of foreign workers, we recently published a piece on how President Trump’s best course of action to clear out the country of tens of millions of illegals is E-verify.

Revolver: 

Some think the Biden administration downplayed the number to make the crisis look manageable while quietly flooding the country. Others suspect even Team Trump keeps the real figure soft because if Americans truly understood the scale of what’s happened, they’d lose their collective minds. Either way, very few people believe the real number is anywhere close to what we’ve been told.

Just imagine how much more money this country would have if we didn’t have the burden of illegal aliens mooching off our system and using up all of our resources.

At this point, 1/4 of the nation isn’t American…

Which is why what Newsmax host Dennis Michael Lynch is saying has struck a nerve.

Lynch is calling it what he believes it is: a flat-out lie. He lays out why he thinks the real figure is closer to a whopping 44 million. He also makes the case that even though Trump’s deported millions, the problem still feels huge.

But in terms of the H1-B Lottery, unfortunately, the cap doesn’t change; it’s only who benefits. The issue before was that abuse centered on low-paid roles, outsourcing firms, and wage suppression of American workers. This rewrite is designed to reverse all that, which is good.

Hany Girgis:

Unpublished but finalized: DHS has quietly rewritten the H-1B lottery.

Before this rule even hits the Federal Register, here’s what actually changes … in plain English … based directly on the final rule text (2025-23853).

1. The H-1B lottery is no longer purely random

USCIS is replacing the random lottery with a wage-weighted selection system.

Registrations are still beneficiary-based, but higher wages now get better odds.

2. Wage level determines lottery odds

Each H-1B registration is entered into the selection pool based on the offered wage:
•Wage Level IV → entered 4 times
•Wage Level III → 3 times
•Wage Level II → 2 times
•Wage Level I → 1 time

Every worker is still counted once toward the cap, but higher wages dramatically increase selection probability.

3. Employers must disclose wage details up front

During registration, employers must now submit:
•The OEWS wage level
•The SOC code
•The area of intended employment

These same details must later match the filed petition exactly.

4. USCIS can deny or revoke petitions for manipulation

USCIS explicitly adds authority to:
•Deny amended or new petitions
•Revoke approvals

If the agency believes changes were made to game the lottery (job title, location, wage level, or entity swapping).

5. Entry-level and lower-wage H-1Bs are heavily disadvantaged

DHS estimates a sharp drop in Wage Level I selections.

The rule openly acknowledges that past abuse centered on:
•Lower-paid roles
•IT staffing and outsourcing firms
•Wage suppression of U.S. workers

This rule is designed to reverse that trend.

6. The cap size does not change
•65,000 regular cap
•20,000 advanced degree cap

What changes is who wins, not how many.

7. Effective timeline
•Final rule
•Effective for FY 2027 registration season
•Applies to all cap-subject registrations after the effective date

Bottom line

This rule:
•Explicitly admits the H-1B program has been abused
•Prioritizes higher wages over volume hiring
•Makes entry-level and low-wage H-1Bs far harder to secure
•Gives USCIS stronger enforcement tools

It does not end H-1Bs, but it fundamentally reshapes who benefits from them.

Curious what people think ….does this go far enough?

So now, the program prioritizes higher-skilled, higher-paid roles and makes volume hiring harder. There’s no denying that’s progress, and it shows the Trump team is serious about fixing what’s broken, but is it enough?

A lot of Americans want to know why we keep patching programs that have been twisted into something unrecognizable in the first place. Our immigration policy, pretty much across the board, is a failed system that rewards fraud, suppresses wages, and erodes trust… not to mention, it’s putting Americans in real danger.

Which brings us to a moment that perfectly captures the debate, courtesy of VP Vance.

During a recent exchange with CBS, JD Vance was sprayed with the usual talking point about America being “a nation of immigrants.” His response was so brilliant.

Thank you, JD. Just because America was founded by immigrants doesn’t mean we’re obligated, centuries later, to maintain the dumbest immigration policies on earth. The people who built this country came legally, assimilated, and believed in America. That’s not what’s happening these days.

What we’re seeing right now is a government finally starting to acknowledge reality. Trump’s team is moving fast, targeting programs that failed, and rewriting systems that are an absolute mess.

The H-1B rewrite matters. The Visa Lottery suspension matters. But so does the bigger question Americans keep asking. Is reform enough, or are some of these programs simply beyond saving, and should they be tossed in the garbage heap?
