H-1B Fee Blocked by Judge
from Washington DC News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A federal judge in Boston has blocked a controversial $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, ruling it’s essentially a tax that only Congress can impose — not the president. The move, aimed at restricting highly skilled foreign workers, sparked backlash from 20 states. The administration insists it’s a penalty to control immigration, but the judge called it plain and simple tax enforcement. The government plans to appeal, arguing the president has the authority to act on immigration. This legal clash underscores the ongoing tension between executive and legislative power — and could have major implications for the tech industry, which relies heavily on H-1B workers, especially from India.
