Misleading title.

People who are wondering about $100k fee- it only applies if you are bringing people from overseas for this job; meaning if an immigrant is already in the country (eg: on a student visa), they don't have to pay $100k. It's just a visa change for them. There have also been murmurs about pay-to-play system, not sure how it works though.

People who got pissed reading the title- majority of the visas sponsored were last year and not last week's layoffs.
