【20 states unite to sue Trump, $100,000 visa fee ignites nationwide! Is Silicon Valley's "talent lifeline" facing a severe blow?】币安聊天室
Twenty states in the U.S. are jointly suing the Trump administration, targeting a highly controversial new regulation: significantly raising the H-1B work visa fee to $100,000. The attorneys general of the states firmly point out that this move "is suspected to be illegal," and the authority to set fees should lie with Congress; the President does not have the unilateral right to impose such exorbitant charges.
The Trump administration defends itself by stating that the high fees are meant to filter out the "most elite and irreplaceable" international talent. However, the H-1B visa is considered the lifeline of Silicon Valley, with tech giants like Amazon and Google relying heavily on it to recruit global engineers. The skyrocketing costs mean a significant increase in corporate expenses, which could impair the competitiveness of American technology.
In the face of strong litigation pressure, the U.S. Immigration Agency has quietly made concessions at the end of October, narrowing the scope of the high fees, temporarily alleviating some applicants' anxieties.
This confrontation goes far beyond legal procedures; it concerns the flow of global high-skilled talent. When traditional centers raise barriers, the crypto and Web3 industries, which possess the genes of globalization and remote collaboration, may be ushering in a unique window for attracting top talent.
Opportunities hidden within change. When one door closes, another window quietly opens—are you ready to embrace new possibilities?
