H-1B Overhaul or Overreach? Daniel Costa Breaks Down Trump’s $100K Visa Proposal

Bill Bernardoni speaks with Daniel Costa, Director of Immigration Law and Policy Research at the Economic Policy Institute, about the Trump administration’s proposed changes to the H-1B visa program — including a controversial $100,000 fee for applicants abroad. Costa explains how these reforms could reshape the tech and healthcare industries, why they might hurt small businesses more than big tech, and whether the administration’s approach truly protects U.S. workers or just adds red tape to a broken system.Do you think raising visa fees and tightening H-1B rules will help protect American workers — or just make it harder for small businesses to compete? Let us know what you think.Follow Bill on X at @BillBernardoni, explore his work at Bernardoni.media, and read his latest writings at Bernardoni.blog.
