Quick Summary

IBM announced Tuesday that it will stop sponsoring visas and green cards for its largest division, aligning with the Trump administration’s efforts to limit foreign worker hiring in the US. This decision comes amid proposed changes like a $100,000 filing fee for H-1B visas, which have been criticized as overly restrictive. The announcement follows the president's mixed messaging on immigration policy after Republican losses in the midterm elections and his promotion of hardline immigration policies.
