Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (D-CA-12) expressed strong opposition to President Donald Trump's newly announced annual fee of $100,000 for new H-1B visa holders. She described this fee as "reckless" and argued that it poses a financial barrier that will harm innovation and risk losing talent from critical sectors such as healthcare and research in the Bay Area.
Simon criticized the fee as an impulsive action that fails to address deeper issues within the immigration system, such as existing backlogs and mismatched labor market needs. She suggested that the fee is part of a broader pattern of policies favoring wealth over equitable immigration solutions.
