Trump’s new $100K fee on H-1B visas will hurt tech companies : NPR

President Trump's new executive order imposes a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for high-skilled workers, impacting tech companies heavily reliant on the program. Companies like Amazon and Microsoft are urging employees to return to the US before the deadline. While the order only affects new visas, not renewals, it's a significant change to a program utilized by over half a million US residents. The move has drawn both praise from critics of the H-1B system and condemnation from immigration groups, highlighting the program's controversial nature and the tech industry's unsuccessful attempts to gain favor with the president.
