Awesome, this literally could not be better for American tech workers.

There's also H-1B (and other worker visa) restrictions/costs imposed. Overall, quite good for the American tech worker

Extra $250 fee for visa applications: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/big-beautif...

3.5% remittance fees on sending money out of the US: https://www.globalimmigrationblog.com/2025/06/what-are-the-i...

Also (in above source), no ACA subsidies for H-1B visa holders (and others), which likely means employers they will have to pay more for health care if they want to cover their immigrant workers

The $100/year fee while an asylum case is pending means that the government is charging someone for the government's own inability to process cases quickly.
