Chamber of Commerce Sues Over Trump’s New $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee
Wall Street Journal MSN News ^ | 10/16/2025 | Brian Schwartz, Louise Radnofsky

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued the Trump administration Thursday over hefty new fees in the H-1B visa program, joining the legal campaign against the administration’s changes to a program used by some of the biggest tech companies in the U.S.

-snip-

The chamber’s lawsuit is seeking to block the new H-1B program restrictions, which were rolled out in a presidential proclamation that the chamber says “is not only misguided policy; it is plainly unlawful.”

“The President has significant authority over the entry of noncitizens into the United States, but that authority is bounded by statute and cannot directly contradict laws passed by Congress,” it said in a complaint filed in federal court in Washington, D.C.

“The Proclamation does precisely that: It blatantly contravenes the fees Congress has set for the H-1B program and countermands Congress’s judgment.”

A White House spokeswoman said Thursday that the administration’s actions were lawful and “a necessary, initial, incremental step” to change the H-1B program.

-snip-

“The new $100,000 visa fee will make it cost-prohibitive for U.S. employers, especially start-ups and small and midsize businesses, to utilize the H-1B program, which was created by Congress expressly to ensure that American businesses of all sizes can access the global talent they need to grow their operations here in the U.S.,” said Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the chamber.

CofC fought the passage of Right to Work legislation in Missouri. Haven’t had a good thing to say about them ever since.

Instead of a cost-prohibitive H1B program, let’s eliminate the H1B program entirely.

Is standing no longer a requirement in a lawsuit?

Can I sue them because they are suing the Trump administration?

U.S. Chamber of Commerce?
It really should be called the “Sell Out America Chamber of Commerce”.

Come on, Chamber of Commerce. Don’t be shy.
Just go ahead and change the name.

The Chamber of Commerce was headed by one Thomas J Donohue. Immediately after the stolen election of 2020, TIME Magazine put out an article congratulating the Chamber and Donohue who had worked weekly with major labor unions, the teachers union, and communist organizations to screw Trump out of the Presidency. This “Chamber of Commerce” is no friend to the American middle- and working classes; they put themselves in the forefront of every damned measure to take American jobs through immigrants who will work cheaper and US manufacturers who will locate production and jobs overseas. Donohue is now dead but his anti-American vision lives on.
