While large tech companies may absorb the cost, smaller firms and nonprofits face significant challenges, leading to fears of offshoring and workforce shortages.

Trump's $100K H-1B Visa Fee Sparks Industry Concerns

Donald Trump's new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas threatens to disrupt Indian IT firms' US projects, impacting their margins and straining US-India relations amid broader immigration and trade tensions. The policy increase aims to curb abuses but risks backfiring by raising costs for US companies and encouraging them to expand their offshore operations in India. Major Indian tech firms are likely to challenge the move in court, as it affects their ability to deploy engineers in the US.

Senate Parliamentarian Rejects GOP's $1,000 Asylum Seekers Fee

The Senate parliamentarian rejected a GOP proposal to impose a $1,000 minimum fee on asylum-seekers, marking a victory for Democrats and complicating the GOP's legislative efforts. Several other proposed immigration fees also violated Senate rules, but some provisions, like a $100 annual fee for pending asylum applications, were preserved. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are working to pass a large legislative package by July 4, facing procedural hurdles and internal disagreements, with President Trump softening his earlier deadline. Additionally, Democratic House members condemned racist attacks against a Muslim candidate, Zohran Mamdani, amid ongoing legislative negotiations and political tensions.

Exploitation of Haitian Migrants Benefits Nicaragua's Ortega, Prompting Biden Administration Warning

Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega and his government have been profiting from the influx of vulnerable Haitian migrants who use the country as a transit point to reach the United States. The regime charges exorbitant entry fees of $150-$200 per migrant, generating millions of dollars each month. Additionally, the government imposes steep landing fees on charter flights from Haiti, amounting to $2,000-$3,000 per flight. The departure tax on these flights further adds to the regime's revenue. The United States has expressed concern about the increase in charter flights and warned Haitians about the dangers and uncertainties of the journey. Experts argue that Ortega and his government are intentionally facilitating this migration crisis to attack the United States.
