Trump signed two executive orders, establishing the “Trump Gold Card” and introducing a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. The “Trump Gold Card” is a visa program that allows foreign nationals permanent residency and a pathway to U.S. citizenship for a $1 million investment in the United States. The H1-B visa program is for highly-educated, high-skilled workers like software engineers or medical professionals. Current government fees for H1-B visas are trivial. Others, like the far-right pundits Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer, have criticized the program as harmful for American workers.
