Trump's Visa Fee Hike: A Boon or Bane for Tech Innovation?

The Trump administration's recent decision to impose a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applicants is causing ripples throughout the tech industry, potentially altering the employment landscape.

While the policy aims to make more positions available for U.S. workers, it has triggered discussions among tech firms about relocating jobs overseas to places where hiring talent remains cost-effective.

Startups, in particular, are feeling the squeeze as they often depend on affordable, skilled labor to drive innovation and growth, a dynamic that now seems at risk under the new regulations.
