Judge Strikes Down Trump's $100K H-1B Visa Fee

$100K is a ridiculous amount and would have lead to US losing its edge over other countries. $25K annual fee would be more reasonable, if the foreign worker is also given a competitive salary. That amount is large enough to give US citizens preference, while at the same time enabling tech companies to hire highly skilled workers. And this has to be legislated by congress, the President has no authority to impose this tax.
