$70,000 to Work in the U.S.? New Proposal Would Impact International Students
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. government has proposed a $70,000 fee for international students seeking to work in the country, part of efforts to tighten regulations on foreign enrollment. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would require universities to pay this fee for each student participating in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which allows students to work in their field of study. Critics argue this could deter international talent and harm U.S. innovation and workforce development. The public has 60 days to comment on the proposal, which may face legal challenges from educational institutions. Enrollment of international students has already seen a significant decline.
