Trump imposes $100K fee on H-1B visas in new immigration actionPresident Donald Trump signed an executive action on Friday to impose a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas — in an effort to curb what his administration says is overuse of the program. What it is meant to do is have American companies hire Americans, rather than bring them in. Because now they get renewed over and over again, and the holders bring their families, their parents, their cousins. They threaten to significantly impact industries that depend heavily on H-1B workers. Marcos Charles, the acting head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, gave the figures during an interview with The Associated Press.
