‘Tariff on talent’: Indian-origin ex-Microsoft exec rebukes Trump’s $100K H-1B plan
Democrat Nick Pyati, an Indian-origin congressional candidate who worked for Microsoft, rebuked President Donald Trump’s executive order, which adds a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications. The president, on Friday, signed a proclamation announcing his latest immigration move. Pyati said it is a ‘tariff on talent’.
“Donald Trump is already sapping America’s economic strength with a tariff on goods, and now he’s hurting us further with a tariff on talent. There are bright, talented, driven people all over the world, and the United States is fortunate that a lot of them want to be here. Our choice is simple: let them come and make our economy more competitive, or keep them out so they compete against us,” Pyati said.
