Trump is upping the price of Big Tech’s favorite visa
Confirmed
But Schulte said the visa revocations are part of Trump’s efforts to gut the humanitarian immigration system. A federal judge struck down Trump’s previous attempt to raise the cost of these high-skilled employment visas in June, but not until over 70 employers paid the $100,000 fee.
“This is clearly unlawful,” said Todd Schulte, the president of FWD.us, an immigration reform organization founded by Mark Zuckerberg and other tech executives in 2013. According to the AP , which broke the news, the State Department will rescind up to 200,000 business and travel visas issued between 2016 and 2026 to people who applied for asylum after arriving in the US.
“Every single other pathway is harder, outlawed, eliminated, more bureaucratic, more difficult across the board,” he said.
