US Vice President JD Vance has defended the Trump administration's H-1B visa reforms, arguing that the current system allows employers to hire foreign workers at discounted rates, undermining American wages. The new policy includes a $100,000 fee for new applications, aimed at restoring the visa program's original purpose of retaining exceptional talent rather than replacing domestic workers.
