President Trump announced plans to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications — a sharp increase from the current cost of a few thousand dollars. The proposal, aimed at encouraging companies to hire more American workers, could significantly impact tech firms that rely on skilled foreign talent. Supporters say it will reduce dependence on overseas labor, while critics warn it could stifle innovation and make it harder for companies to attract specialized workers.
