IT stocks plunge as Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee rattles markets 

Tech sector reels from policy shockwave

Trump's $100K visa bombshell sends IT stocks tumbling

The H-1B hammer drops

That $100,000 fee proposal isn't just paperwork—it's a direct assault on tech's talent pipeline. Companies that built empires on global brainpower now face a brutal recalculation. Recruitment budgets? Obliterated. Project timelines? In freefall.

Market bloodbath unfolds

Watch the dominoes fall across NASDAQ. Tech giants bleed valuation while analysts scramble to downgrade. The very companies that fueled the decade's growth now stare at compressed margins and operational chaos.

Innovation collateral damage

Forget moonshot projects—survival mode activates immediately. R&D departments face gutting as resources shift to compliance firefighting. The visa fee becomes an innovation tax nobody budgeted for.

Finance sector shrugs—typical Wall Street reaction to actual economic disruption while they chase crypto trends. Maybe they'll short the companies they praised last quarter.

Tech's reckoning arrives—and the bill just hit $100,000 per brain.
