Trump H-Visa Bomb, a Blessing in Disguise?

On September 19, President Donald Trump shook the tech world by introducing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions for foreign workers.

Join Debashis Basu as he unpacks the short-term disruptions and potential long-term gains of this controversial policy.
