The reaction of senior Congress party leader Shashi Tharoor has come to light on changes in the H-1B visa rules of US President Donald Trump. Tharoor said that Donald Trump’s decision to impose a fee of $ 1,00,000 on H-1B visa applications is completely related to America’s domestic politics. He said that Trump is trying to raise support for his anti-immigration steps and this step has been taken to please MAGA supporters.
The Congress MP said, ‘This decision is basically inspired by domestic politics. Trump believes this and the people around him also say that due to the easy H-1B visa system, many Americans, who should have received more salary from the same companies, are being ignored and they are replacing Indians, who are ready to work on low salary.
