Colombia’s president is calling on his compatriots working without legal status in the United States to leave their jobs and return home as soon as possible.

Summary

Colombian President Gustavo Petro urged undocumented Colombian workers in the U.S. to leave their jobs and return home, promising government loans for business startups.

His call follows a diplomatic clash with Donald Trump over U.S. deportation policies, including Petro’s temporary refusal to accept deportation flights.

The dispute nearly led to a trade conflict before both sides reached a truce.

Colombia has accepted 475 deportation flights since 2020, ranking fifth among Latin American nations receiving U.S. deportees.

    Of course companies are going to try and game any system that regulated them. I believe the compensation is information that is included in the application for the visa. So if it’s deemed to be unfairly low for the position it can be denied. The salaries paid are public info, too. Plenty of sites to look them up.

      Unfortunately that site has not option for lowest paid. Like certainly right now no h1b should be done for under six figures if the skills are so hard to find they need to use an h1b.
