‘Stop the nonsense, bring in top talent’: US minister clarifies Trump administration’s stance on H-1B.
Since US President Donald Trump increased H-1B visa fees, its impact is being felt most strongly by Indians. The US Commerce Secretary has justified Trump’s decision.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appeared to justify Trump’s decision. He said, “Is that person valuable enough for the company to pay the government $100,000 a year? That’s the purpose of immigration.”
Only qualified people should enter America.
Howard Lutnick stressed, ‘The purpose of this policy of Trump is to ensure that only qualified people get admission. “The company has to decide. Do they want that? Is the person valuable enough to be paid $100,000 a year by the government, or should they return home and pursue an even higher position in the United States?”
He said, “If you want to train someone, train young people who have graduated from our country’s best universities, train Americans. Don’t take away our jobs by bringing in people from outside.”
