President Trump's executive order imposing a $100,000 fee on H1-B visa applications has caused significant confusion and concern among tech firms and foreign employees. Experts argue this move will hinder U.S. tech growth and discourage highly skilled workers, potentially driving talent and companies overseas. While acknowledging the need for H1-B reform, critics believe this steep fee disproportionately impacts startups and may lead to legal challenges, ultimately damaging America's competitive edge in the global tech landscape.
