President Donald Trump has announced the implementation of a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas as part of his efforts to protect American jobs. The administration claims that this charge will help American workers by making it more expensive for foreign labor to compete in the U.S. job market. Alongside this move, Trump has introduced a new ‘gold card’ program for highly skilled foreign workers, which includes provisions for visa holders to remain in the U.S. permanently under certain conditions.
