‘Stop bringing people to take our jobs’: Trump aide explains reason behind H1B fee hike; calls the raise ‘non-economic’
President Trump has implemented a $100,000 annual fee for companies sponsoring H-1B visa holders, a substantial increase intended to discourage the replacement of American workers with foreign labor. This policy shift aims to prioritize American graduates and limit H-1B visas to high-value roles, potentially reshaping skilled worker hiring, especially in the tech and IT sectors.
