Can Trump’s $100,000 fee for H-1B visas withstand legal challenges? Here’s why the battle over immigration powers is heating up
President Donald Trump’s new $100,000 fee on H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers faces likely legal challenges over its authority and fairness. The surcharge demands employers pay before visas are issued, disrupting existing fees and raising concerns among businesses and immigrant advocates. Experts question whether the president can impose such a fee without congressional approval. The administration also proposes changes to the visa lottery system, favouring higher-income applicants, intensifying debate over immigration powers.
