Trump’s New Visa Vision:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington:<\/strong> A day after US President Donald Trump defended the H-1B visa program, his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, outlined the President’s “vision”: that skilled foreign workers should come to the US, train American workers, and then return to their home countries.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Fox News, Bessent stated, “The President’s vision is that we bring in those foreign workers who have the skills, and in 3, 5, or 7 years, they train American employees. After that, they return to their country, and American employees fully take over those jobs.”<\/p>\n

He argued that over the last 20-30 years, the US has outsourced jobs like precision manufacturing to other countries. “The President says you can’t teach someone to build a ship or manufacture semiconductors overnight. Therefore, we have to bring these industries back to America with the help of foreign experts.”<\/p>\n

The “Talent Shortage” Argument<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Trump recently told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that America must attract talent from the world because the country lacks “certain specific skills.”<\/p>\n

When Ingraham countered, “We have plenty of talent,” Trump replied, “No, you don’t. You have to learn some skills. You can’t just put unemployed people in a factory and say now they’re going to make missiles.”<\/p>\n

He gave the example of skilled South Korean workers being brought to a battery plant in Georgia because the work is “very complex and dangerous.” Trump warned that simply firing foreign workers would cause such industries to shut down.<\/p>\n

A Crackdown and New Rules<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trump administration has also launched a major crackdown on abuse of the H-1B visa program, which is primarily used by technology companies to hire foreign professionals, especially Indian IT engineers and doctors.<\/p>\n

In September 2025, Trump issued a new proclamation (‘Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers’). Under this, certain H-1B petitions filed after September 21, 2025, will require an additional mandatory fee of $100,000.<\/p>\n

Last week, the administration initiated nearly 175 investigations into irregularities such as underpayment, fake workplace addresses, and “benching” (keeping employees on the payroll without work).<\/p>\n

The Pillars of Trump’s New Visa Model<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The US Department of Labor stated on the social media platform X, “As part of our mission to protect American jobs, we have initiated 175 investigations into H-1B visa fraud.”<\/p>\n

Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer said the department would use every possible resource to ensure “American citizens don’t lose their jobs to foreign workers” and to implement the ‘American Workers First’ policy.<\/p>\n

The key pillars of the proposed model are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
