Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas

President Trump announced a $100,000 annual fee for H-1B visa applications, impacting the US tech industry heavily reliant on foreign workers. Commerce Secretary Lutnick stated that major companies were informed, advocating for training American workers instead. The move, criticized by some as exceeding executive authority and harming innovation, faces legal challenges. The tech industry, which utilizes H-1B visas for skilled workers, is strongly opposed. This latest action follows Trump's previous efforts to restrict legal immigration.
