Move is a blow to big tech companies, which rely heavily on visas to hire staff from overseas, particularly India
Donald Trump’s decision to impose a $100,000 (£74,096) fee on H1-B visas for skilled foreign workers could hurt US economic growth, economists have warned.
Trump signed a proclamation on Friday introducing the application fee for the H-1B visa, 60 times the current cost, in a move designed to encourage companies to hire more American workers.
The increase represents a blow to big tech companies, which rely heavily on such visas to hire engineers, scientists and coders from overseas, particularly India.
No shit.
Goddamn this country is dumb.
Hey foreigners, if you ever wanted to see what mass psychosis looks like, you can come here. But I'd recommend watching it from a distance.
