California’s Attorney General, along with 20 other states, is suing the federal government over a proposed H-1B visa fee increase that could cost companies up to $100,000 per new hire from outside the U.S.

Supporters of the fee hike argue it will protect American workers and give foreign students educated in the U.S. a better chance to compete for jobs. Critics say it could limit access to global talent—especially for California companies that rely on skilled workers from countries like India and China.

So what’s the real impact here?
Would this policy strengthen the U.S. workforce or hurt innovation and hiring?
