The United States Chamber of Commerce sued the Trump administration on Thursday over the new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas.
The lawsuit said the fee, which President Donald Trump put in place with an executive order last month, was “unlawful” and that it would harm American businesses.”The United States is unique in its ability to attract the brightest talent from across the globe. For more than 70 years, what is now known as the H-1B visa program has enabled the United States to harness this magnetic draw,” the lawsuit said, adding that as a result of the new fee, businesses would have to “dramatically increase their labor costs or hire fewer highly skilled employees for whom domestic replacements are not readily available.”
It also argues that the executive order is unlawful because it “blatantly contravenes the fees Congress has set for the H-1B program.”
The lawsuit pits the business association against Trump, who has fashioned himself as a pro-business president.
The White House and the Chamber of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
