FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Badlands, ND — December 13, 2025 — In response to the Trump administration's recent policy imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, the Theodore Roosevelt campaign stands in firm opposition. This punitive measure has prompted 20 states to lodge a lawsuit against the Trump administration, a clear indication of the policy's detrimental impact on businesses, the economy, and the very fabric of our nation's immigration system.
"The Trump administration's $100,000 H-1B visa fee is not just excessive, but it is a clear example of overreach of executive power," said Theodore Roosevelt. "This policy hurts American businesses and undermines the economic growth we strive for. It's not just impractical; it's unjust."
Our campaign stands with the 20 states suing the Trump administration over this harmful policy. We believe in the power of checks and balances and applaud these states for standing up against this overreach of executive power. Our campaign is committed to fostering a fair and pragmatic immigration policy that bolsters our economy while respecting the rights of all individuals.
"Immigration is not just about numbers and quotas," Theodore Roosevelt continued. "It's about people – their hopes, dreams, and their invaluable contributions to our economy. By imposing such an exorbitant fee, we are discouraging talented individuals from coming to our shores and contributing to our economic growth."
The Theodore Roosevelt campaign is committed to economic growth and development. We understand that businesses, particularly those in the tech sector, rely heavily on H-1B visa holders. By making it more expensive and challenging for these companies to hire skilled workers, we are stifling innovation and hindering our own growth.
Our campaign proposes a comprehensive immigration reform that ensures skilled workers are welcomed, not dissuaded. We aim to create a fair, pragmatic immigration policy that values the contributions of all individuals and supports our nation's economic growth.
"We need a policy that works for everyone," said Theodore Roosevelt. "We must remember that our country was built on the backs of immigrants, who have always been – and will always be – a vital part of our nation's story."
Our campaign is focused on facts and legality. We are cautious about not politicizing the issue too much – this is a legal and economic issue, not a partisan one. While we are committed to fighting this policy, we understand that we cannot guarantee a particular outcome. However, we can promise that we will work tirelessly to ensure fair and sensible immigration policies that put people and our economy first.
