A US court on Monday blocked Donald Trump's attempt to attach a $100,000 (£74,895) price tag to H-1B visas. Striking down the policy, the judge declared that the president simply did not have the legal backing to alter the rules for a system that overseas specialists and domestic businesses depend on.
According to US District Judge Leo Sorokin, the White House essentially tried to bypass the Constitution by treating a new tax as a standard immigration rule. He maintained that the executive branch has no right to alter fiscal policy on its own, noting that such sweeping financial changes require explicit approval from Congress.
