Trump seeks $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, sparking tech industry opposition
The Trump administration has proposed a new rule requiring employers to pay over $100,000 for each H-1B visa application, a sharp increase from current fees. The move follows a court suspension of a similar presidential proclamation last year. Critics argue the program is used to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor, while tech leaders like Elon Musk defend it as vital for attracting global talent.
