Episode Details

The government is preparing to cancel up to 200,000 business and tourist visas for people who entered on B-1 or B-2 visas between 2016 and 2026 and later applied for asylum — potentially the largest mass visa cancellation in U.S. history. Officials argue asylum shouldn’t be a loophole for entry, and while revoked visas won’t trigger immediate deportation, pending cases will still be processed under new visitor status rules. Meanwhile, a new proposal would slap over $100,000 in fees on H-1B visas, targeting tech, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors — a move previously blocked by a judge but now advancing through formal rulemaking, expected to generate billions but likely sparking legal challenges from both advocates and employers.
