Trump charging for H-1B visas
President Donald Trump yesterday signed a proclamation that will require a $100,000 annual visa fee for highly-skilled foreign workers and rolled out a $1 million “gold card” visa as a pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals, moves that face near-certain legal challenges amid widespread criticism he is sidestepping Congress.
Wealthy can buy a ‘gold card’
move. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said “all big companies” are on board.
If the moves survive legal muster, they will deliver staggering price increases. The visa fee for skilled workers would jump from $215. The fee for investor visas, which are common in many European countries, would climb from $10,000-$20,000 a year.
SHASTA DEATH: A man slid 2,000 feet to his death after reaching the summit of Mount Shasta, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office said. Matias Augusto Travizano, 45, of Argentina, died Sept. 12, after he slid off the “non technical” trail people often use after the snow melts in the summer and fall.
COLLEGE PRESIDENT QUITS:
Texas A&M’s president, Mark Welsh, resigned yesterday after facing criticism over a classroom video that showed a student objecting to a professor’s claim that there are more than two genders.
PASSPORT DISPUTE: The U.S. government yesterday asked the Supreme Court to let it enforce a passport policy for transgender and nonbinary people that requires male or female sex designations based on birth certificates. The government argues it can’t be required to use sex designations it considers inaccurate on official documents.

H-1B visas, which require at least a bachelor’s degree, are meant for highskilled jobs that tech companies find
difficult to fill. Critics say the program is a pipeline for overseas workers who are often willing to work for as little as $60,000 annually, well below the $100,000-plus salaries typically paid to U.S. technology workers.
Trump yesterday insisted that the tech industry would not oppose the
Representatives for the biggest tech companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta, did not immediately respond to messages for comment yesterday. Microsoft declined to comment. Lutnick said the change will likely result in far fewer H-1B visas than the

City seeks plant’s new home
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
San Carlos City Council is trying to find a new home for a rare plant that’s been found at North Crestview Park before going forward with plans to redo the park, hiking the cost of the project.
Council on Monday will vote whether to hire a consultant for up to $300,000 to complete an environmental impact report and explore alternative homes for the Paniculate Tarplant.
If council moves forward with the report, the project will cost $525,000. Once construction has started, it is estimated to cost $750,000, bringing the project to $1.2 million according to a report

Sheriff shakes up internal affairs bureau
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, who is accused of favoritism among her employees, is making a new, separate internal affairs bureau, according to a memo sent out to sergeants.
The change comes after a 10-day
hearing, where Corpus fought removal efforts against her, and witness testimony exposed 38 internal affairs investigations into deputies that are allegedly sitting on her desk.
A memo was sent to sergeants on Thursday from the Professional Standards Bureau saying a new bureau was
being made to “strengthen accountability, transparency and consistency in handling internal investigations.”
The new bureau will separate responsibilities between the Professional Standards and the Internal Affairs bureau. Professional Standards will focus

PATRICK DANCER
October 29, 1997 – September 9, 2025
Patrick Dancer, 27, of Woodside, California, died on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, following a motorcycle accident on Highway 280, at 5pm, where he succumbed to his injuries. Born on October 29, 1997, in Redwood City, Patrick spent most of his life in Woodside, where he was known for his adventurous spirit and his love of the outdoors. He was a true thrill-seeker who embraced life fully, whether exploring new places or pursuing new challenges. He was an avid outdoor sportsman: water skiing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, skateboarding, golf, camping, and more. His other love was cars and motorcycles, and he greatly enjoyed going to car meets and motorcycle rides through the Santa Cruz Mountains or days at the track.
Patrick had a deep love for animals of all kinds – dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, birds, and chickens – finding joy and companionship in their presence. Friends and loved ones remember him for his great sense of humor, kindness, and generosity, qualities that drew people to him and left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Patrick attended Woodside Elementary from Pre-K through 8 th grade. His friends from Woodside Elementary stayed lifelong friends. Patrick also attended Serra High School and graduated from Lydian Academy High School. After high school he attended college at University of Florida in Gainesville. For the past four years he had been working at Compass Real Estate, alongside his father.
Patrick is survived by his loving parents, Kathi and Scott Dancer of Woodside; his sister, Nicole Dancer of Schilde, Belgium; his grandmothers Marge Dancer of Granite Bay and Heidi Poppenberg of Redwood City; aunts, uncles and cousins Kerstin and Mark Spangner with their sons Erik and Filip, and Krista and Eric Mack with their daughters Tilly and Cassidy. He was preceded in death by his beloved grandfathers Karl Poppenberg (Opa) and Pat Dancer (Grandpa) and also his loving aunt Sandra Dancer who passed recently on June 30. His cherished dog “Jimble” will be lovingly cared for by Patrick’s mother and father. He will also be deeply missed by his extended family and many friends.
On Monday, September 22, there will be a viewing at Skylawn Memorial in the Pacific Chapel from 4pm to 7pm, 888 Life Mark Road, Half Moon Bay.
On Tuesday, September 23, at 11am, services will be held at Woodside Village Church, 3154 Woodside Road, Woodside, to honor Patrick’s life.
A procession to the burial will follow the church service via Canada Road alongside the reservoir. The burial will be at Skylawn Memorial at 2pm. www.skylawnmemorialpark.com/obituaries/patrick-dancer/obituary
Following will be a reception at The Mountain Terrace, 17285 Skyline Boulevard, Woodside at 3pm to celebrate Patrick’s life.

Burglars hit homes
Burglars have hit two homes in Atherton in the past week, one on Euclid Avenue, which resulted in the arrests of three juveniles, and a second on Tuscaloosa Avenue.
The first burglary in the 0-99 block of Euclid was reported to police at about 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, and when police went to the house, they connected the youths to the crime.
Police said the juveniles were identified, arrested and released to their parents.
Atherton Police have submitted the case to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
The second burglary happened on Thursday in the 100 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue. The burglars got into the house by smashing a glass door, police
said. No arrests have been made in that case.
The announcements of the two burglaries came shortly after Police Chief Steve McCulley acknowleged an uptick in burglaries.
Police offered the following tips to homeowners to reduce the odds they’ll be hit by burglars:
• Lock all doors and windows when leaving home, even for a short time.
• Use exterior lighting and motion detectors to deter intruders.
• Trim shrubs and trees to eliminate hiding places around doors and windows.
• Secure valuables in a safe or other protected location.
• Consider installing a monitored alarm system or security cameras.

VISAS ––––––––
85,000 annual cap allows because “it’s just not economic anymore.”
“If you’re going to train people, you’re going to train Americans.” Lutnick said on a conference call with reporters. “If you have a very sophisticated engineer and you want to bring them in ... then you can pay $100,000 a year for your H-1B visa.”
Trump also announced he will start selling a “gold card” visa with a path to U.S. citizenship for $1 million after vetting. For companies, it will cost $2 million to sponsor an employee.
Platinum card
The “Trump Platinum Card” will be available for a $5 million and allow foreigners to spend up to 270 days in the U.S. without being subject to U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income. Trump announced a $5 million gold card in February to replace an existing investor visa — this is now the platinum card.
Lutnick said the gold and platinum cards would replace employment-based visas that offer paths to citizenship, including for professors, scientists, artists and athletes.
Critics of H-1Bs visas who say they are used to replace American workers applauded the move. U.S. Tech Workers, an advocacy group, called it “the next best thing” to abolishing the visas altogether.
Doug Rand, a senior official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Biden administration, said the proposed fee increase was “ludicrously lawless.”
“This isn’t real policy — it’s fan service for immigration restrictionists,” Rand said. “Trump gets his
headlines, and inflicts a jolt of panic, and doesn’t care whether this survives first contact with the courts.”
Lutnick said the H-1B fees and gold card could be introduced by the president but the platinum card needs congressional approval.
Historically, H-1B visas have been doled out through lottery. This year, Amazon was by far the top recipient of H-1B visas with more than 10,000 awarded, followed by Tata Consultancy, Microsoft, Apple and Google. Geographically, California has the highest number of H-1B workers.
Who often gets these visas
Critics say H-1B spots often go to entry-level jobs, rather than senior positions with unique skill requirements. And while the program isn’t supposed to undercut U.S. wages or displace U.S. workers, critics say companies can pay less by classifying jobs at the lowest skill levels, even if the specific workers hired have more experience.
As a result, many U.S. companies find it cheaper to contract out help desks, programming and other basic tasks to consulting companies such as Wipro, Infosys, HCL Technologies and Tata in India and IBM and Cognizant in the U.S. These consulting companies hire foreign workers, often from India, and contract them out to U.S. employers looking to save money.
First lady Melania Trump, the former Melania Knauss, was granted an H-1B work visa in October 1996 to work as a model. She was born in Slovenia.
Bids plunged
In 2024, lottery bids for the visas plunged nearly 40%, which authorities said was due to success against people who were “gaming the system” by submitting multiple, sometimes dubious, applications to unfairly
increase chances of being selected. Major technology companies that use H-1B visas sought changes after massive increases in bids left their employees and prospective hires with slimmer chances of winning the random lottery. Facing what it acknowledged was likely fraud and abuse, USCIS this year said each employee had only one shot at the lottery, whether the person had one job offer or 50.
Critics welcomed the change but said more needs to be done. The AFL-CIO wrote last year that while changes to the lottery “included some steps in the right direction,” it fell short of needed reforms.
The labor group wants visas awarded to companies that pay the highest wages instead of by random lottery, a change that Trump sought during his first term in the White House.
AFFAIRS ––––––
on hiring, recruitment and background checks. The internal affairs will only manage investigations.
The deputies and sergeants’ union said they don’t agree with the change, according to union representative Terry Downing.
The unions plan to have their attorneys review the change, Downing said.
“We were promised transparency and collaboration by the executive team, and that didn’t happen. We are against that move and are prepared to do everything possible to support our members,” the unions said in a statement. “This restructuring affects the working conditions of our members, yet we were never notified of the change in advance.” Corpus said during the hearing that she already has outside agencies review investigations because she noticed deputies would start them without her consent and target peo-
ple of color. The sheriff’s office did not respond to the Post’s questions on the change.
Lt. Dan Reynolds testified during the hearing that there were 12 internal, 13 uses of force and 13 civilian investigations pending when he transferred out of internal affairs.
Reynolds said he would ask Undersheriff Dan Perea, but Perea would say “it’s not a quick matter.”
Placed on leave
The change comes a few days after three of the sheriff’s five captains —Mark Myers, Bill Fogarty and Frank Dal Porto — were told on Monday and Tuesday that they were under investigation for alleged disrespectful comments toward Perea, including claiming he was drunk.
Sgt. Joe Fava also testified about three internal affairs investigations that were delayed due to Corpus and Perea not taking action.
Corpus placed Sgt. Joe Fava on administrative leave after complaining that she was mishandling and delaying investigations into alleged misconduct by deputies. Corpus put Fava on leave the same day the Daily Post printed a story saying she delayed and interfered with investigations into her employees, including a deputy who let a teenager vape in a patrol car and a jail guard who forced inmates to dance “in degrading and provocative ways.”
The Post’s story was based on a report by attorney Jan Little of Keker Van Nest & Peters, a law firm that had been hired by the county Board of Supervisors to investigate Corpus.
Removal efforts
Two efforts are underway to remove Corpus from office on allegations including that she retaliated and intimidated her employees, had an affair with her former chief of staff Victor Aenlle and used racial and antisemitic slurs.
Supervisors held a 10-day hearing and where the county brought forth multiple witnesses to prove their finding. Corpus’s attorneys brought witnesses to prove that she has been changing the culture of the
office, with many people against her. Supervisors are now waiting for the recommendation from Judge James Emerson, who has until Oct. 13 to make up his mind on whether or not Corpus should be removed.
The civil grand jury has also filed an accusation against Corpus that will result in a trial to determine if she should remain as sheriff.
PLANT –––––––
from Parks and Recreation Director Amy Newby. The plant was discovered in the middle of the park during a site visit, according to Newby’s report.
Council wants to redesign the three-acre land into a park with a trail, a workout area, multi-use courts, restrooms, picnic tables, and a playground. During a visit, the Paniculate Tarplant, a plant on the California Rare Plant list, was found and removing it would have a big impact on the environment, according to Newby’s report.
Council at a June meeting reviewed three options on proceeding with the project, including giving up on the park altogether. Council decided at that point to move forward with an environmental report.

CRUZ BLASTS FCC CHAIR: Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, blasted Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr yesterday for threats he made this week to stations airing Jimmy Kimmel’s show. “I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying we’re going to decide what speech we like and what we don’t, and we’re going to threaten to take you off air if we don’t like what you’re saying,” Cruz said.
