Imo 100k is not that much for a tech worker who they really want to hire
For anyone else, most likely the skills are replaceable enough that they'll try to hire domestically instead
My guess is this move will have a much bigger effect on low skill foreign workers than high skill ones

Is it $100k per application or $100k every year? It says "annual fee."

No disagreement there, but I'm sure the vast majority high-skill workers won't fall into that category. Although, it may depend on the tax treatment of those payments.
