The U.S. administration has introduced a major change for foreign workers. The government has announced a new plan to charge $100,000 for visas for skilled workers. This applies to people with special training and experience who want to work in the United States.
Officials from the administration explained the reason for this high charge. They said the goal is to encourage companies to hire more American workers. By making it more expensive to hire foreign talent, they believe businesses will look for employees within the U.S. first.
This new policy is part of a broader shift in immigration rules. Alongside the expensive visa, the President also revealed the details of a new 'gold card' program. The purpose and rules of this new program were shared for the first time.
The announcement has started a conversation about immigration. People are discussing how this high fee will affect skilled workers wanting to come to the U.S. and whether it will truly benefit the American job market as intended.
