šØ H-1B Visa Under Fire: Trumpās $100K Fee Plan Sparks Backlash šØ
U.S. President Donald Trumpās latest immigration move could end the H-1B program by adding a $100,000 fee per visa.
š¬ Experts React:
⢠āThis would destroy the program and the U.S. economy, especially healthcare & STEM. No company will pay $100K + salary. Thankfully, itās illegal,ā ā Daniel Di Martino (Columbia University, Manhattan Institute).
⢠āTrump is shooting America in the foot. This order hurts U.S. workers with lower wages & higher prices,ā ā David J. Bier (Cato Institute).
ā” Elon Muskās Take:
⢠Earlier: āH-1B brought me and many who built Tesla & SpaceX to America.ā
⢠Recently: Tesla sued for allegedly favoring visa holders over U.S. workers, accused of āwage theft.ā
š Courts will likely block the move, but the clash highlights deep divisions over immigration, jobs, and innovation.
