EDIT:
Trump just confirmed that H1s are unaffected - for now. (Only GCs for 60days, but atleast they will still maintain legal status - Frankly I'm not sure how that's supposed to help Am Workers) While I'm slightly relieved, I know the bigger problem at hand is the global pandemic and none of this matters if we don't curb this. Sending back tech workers would be a misstep in the current situation and I'm glad it's not happening - for now, but for the love of god, I hope he stops using Twitter.

(Thanks to all who replied to the post. It's been an interesting 15 or so hours. Blind is awesome!)


ORIGINAL POST:
I know there's lot of implications and this is slightly selfish, but it directly affects me. Could someone please tell me what this means for the ones already picked for this year's H1B?

There's no news articles as of yet, but straight from the horse's mouth: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1252418369170501639?s=19

    I no longer have the will to work, f off man. Feels like I'm getting treated like a criminal. So much hostility?? Most of the furloughed workers are from McDonald's and Targets. How's sending back some Apple/Google employees gonna solve anything?

      We need to realize the fact that IT jobs can be done remote. I think jobs saved from H1B is not saved job, instead it is a job lost from US. Already people in India are getting salaries on par with US. Decision done in haste will hit back hard just like all the decisions made wrt to Monetary Policy recently.
