Weaponising immigration policy to advance xenophobic agenda: Organisation on Trump’s ‘reckless’ $100,000 H-1B fee
On Friday, the Trump administration announced a one-time US $ 1,00,000 in H-1B visas.
The Indian American influence strongly condemned the reckless order of Trump’s H-1B visas that suffered a fee of 100,000 USD and said that the “chaotic” presentation created panic and chaos, especially for professionals who work abroad or visited the family in medical emergencies.
The declaration “is not about protecting American affairs, the enemy is about arming a migration policy to advance a agenda. By targeting H-1B holders, Trump is both sabotaging our economic future and fueling discrimination against Indian Americans and all immigrant communities on Monday.
The organization, which works to create power for Indian and South Asian Americans by mobilizing, concerning and selecting the members of these communities throughout the USA, the organization said that the “destructive” policy threatens America’s global leadership and brought us a unbearable burden to families and businesses.
Patel Added That Trump’s USD 100,000 Fee on H-1B Visas is a “Direct Attack” on the Very Workers and Communities Who Fuel America’s Economy and Innovation. Communities Destabilised Immigrant Strength, Breakthroughs, and Communities that Enrich US He said, “America has met families together and built a common prosperity,” he said. Attorney Navneet Chought told PTI that India has become India’s global talent factory with more than 1.5 million engineering graduates annually and the world’s largest English -speaking technical professional pool.
He said that Indian professionals constitute approximately 72 percent of all approved H-1B visas, and the strategy of addressing the shortages of talent in the fields of critical STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) made them a “backbone”. Chugh added that these workers have filled the gaps in developing technologies such as research, engineering, computer programming and artificial intelligence and domestic talent supply constantly deprived of demand.
He emphasized that the economic contributions of Indians in the United States were enormous. H-1B workers and their families are injecting US economy about $ 86 billion annually through wages, consumption and investment.
Federal and state taxes contribute to USD $ 24 billion, as well as an additional US $ 25 billion to Social Security and Medicare. Most importantly, before the completion of the 10 years to be entitled to social security assistance, many of them returned to their own countries, permanently contributed billions in the US system, a decline representing a secret subsidies from immigrant workers to American retirees.
Chugh said that the American technological leadership has become the backbone of the American technological leadership, as Sundar Pichai, the Google CEO of Indian immigrants, stated examples of Microsoft head Satya Nadella and Adobe Chief ShanTanu Narane.
“These are not isolated cases-they represent a wider model of Indian professionals who guide the American innovation, not isolated cases.” He said.
Chugh also said that the geopolitical effects of Trump’s order are important. “The US-Indian strategic partnership is very important to balance China’s rise, but immigration policies that evacuate India’s ability without compensation diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, China has implemented aggressive programs to protect and attract the best abilities to recognize human capital as a strategic wild.
“The United States is facing the risk of alienating the most important democratic ally in Asia, while at the same time strengthens competitors who better understand the value of human capital investment.” He said.
A report in Harvard Crimson said that Harvard sponsored an average of 125 new H-1B visa petitions approved every year between 2017-2024.
“Although Trump’s order only applies to new H-1B visa requests, if he continues to sponsor a similar number of new H-1B visa, the fee can bring a significant financial burden on Harvard. He said.
The Trump administration said that the new 100,000 USD fee requirement for H1B visas is not valid for the current visa holders and that it is only a valid payment for new petitions, Harvard International Office said that “continues to work to understand the full impact of this statement”.
