President Trump signed a proclamation on Friday to raise the fee for H-1B visa applications to $100,000, setting up a new barrier for companies to hire foreign workers.
Trump signed the proclamation on Friday to add the payment on top of current visas under H-1B, which are typically paid by an employer.
“We need workers, we need great workers and this pretty much ensure that that’s going to happen,” Trump said.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that the new fee will prevent companies from training foreign workers and instead encourage them to hire Americans on a new front in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration.
“Stop bringing in people to take our jobs, that’s our policy here,” Lutnick said. “All of the big companies are on board. We’ve spoken to them about the gold card and this.”
