White House on H-1B visa price hike: US companies replaced over 40,000 American tech workers with foreigners
Donald Trump's administration introduced a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, aiming to curb program abuse and protect American jobs. The White House claims companies are replacing U.S. workers with lower-paid foreign labor, citing instances of layoffs alongside H-1B approvals. They argue this trend threatens national security and disincentivizes Americans from pursuing STEM careers.
