特朗普政府提出了基于工资的H-1B签证制度,以有利于高薪外籍工人,旨在保护美国工资。 The Trump administration proposes a wage-based H-1B visa system to favor higher-paid foreign workers, aiming to protect American wages.

特朗普行政当局提议用基于工资的甄选制度取代H-1B签证彩票,该制度优先考虑高薪、高技能的外国工人,特别是在技术和其他专业领域。 The Trump administration has proposed replacing the H-1B visa lottery with a wage-based selection system that prioritizes higher-paid, higher-skilled foreign workers, particularly in tech and other specialty fields. 这项旨在保护美国工人免受工资竞争的改变将在甄选过程中为工资较高的申请人分配更多的条目,同时对新申请征收100 000美元的费用——尽管不是续签或现任持单人。 The change, aimed at protecting American workers from wage competition, would assign more entries in the selection process to applicants with higher salaries, while imposing a $100,000 fee on new applications—though not renewals or current holders. 该规则开放30天征求公众意见,可在2026年登记周期生效,到2035年,每年向H-1B工人支付的工资总额可增加到2035年的20亿美元。 The rule, open for 30 days of public comment, could take effect for the 2026 registration cycle and may increase total wages paid to H-1B workers to $2 billion annually by 2035. 虽然支持者认为这能确保顶级人才和防止工资抑制, 但批评者警告说, 这会伤害依赖低薪外籍工人的小企业, 并限制获得熟练劳动力的机会, While supporters argue it ensures top-tier talent and prevents wage suppression, critics warn it could harm small businesses reliant on lower-wage foreign workers and limit access to skilled labor, potentially pushing talent to other countries.
